The brakes whet bad, 2 muffler ststems

so far I'm up to $2,800 in parts and I paid $2,400 for the car when I got it I did have it checked out and every thing was good.
Don't ever buy a ford car there junk
i went back to driving my dodge it only was $100.00 in parts to fix it and I'm up to 222,000 miles and no problems.
"Don't ever buy a ford car there junk." My friend, you have discovered why FORD = "Found On Road Dead."
I had bad luck with a '93 Taurus. All done at 74,000 miles.
The 3.8L engine is far worse than the 3.0L in yours. 140,000 miles is a lot for a Taurus, you did better than most. I traded mine in with everything wrong with it, and I still owed $2000 on the loan. Did not even last the payment book with good care.
My Gosh!!! That's terrible! I was going to purchase a 95 Ford Taurus, because I heard it was Ford's best selling car. For around $1500. But knowing that the Ford Taurus has a notorious reputation of transmission failures, I simply cannot afford to waist money on one. And After reading these reviews, I won't buy one! I see why most people want to get rid of theirs!
I had my 95 SE for 3 years, and when the engine blew it had 272,000 miles on it. Only maintenance I ever had to do to it was replace the exhaust system (i took it into a ditch and ripped it off from cat - back) and tires every 15,00 or so.
