1989 Ford Taurus LX review from North America
"A great piece of technology"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Valve cover gasket.
General comments?
This car has never left me sitting, I had to replace the valve cover gasket when I bought it, but other that that I only ever had to put gas in it and change the oil.
Parts for this car are expensive, but never have had to buy any.
My previous car, a 87 Taurus GL was that same way, that car still runs great!
