The transmission went out at 91,000 miles, but was covered by a recall. It blew the head gasket at about 125,000 miles.
Tauruses are disposable cars. They are great up to about 100,000 to 150,000 cars. After that, the repairs never stop and the repair bills will make you think you were driving a Mercedes.

YOU SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT!!!
I had a 1986 ford taurus wagon that had 300,000 on before the timing chain broke. I paid $75 for the car and drove it for three years. I put in a PCV valve and cut the muffler off. Then I proceded to beat the living crap out of it. I think it held up very well.
