Comments on: Is a 2001 Ford Taurus SEL with 82,000 miles a good buy for 5 thousand? http://taurusanswers.com/is-a-2001-ford-taurus-sel-with-82000-miles-a-good-buy-for-5-thousand.html Tue, 22 May 2012 03:43:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: FleetTech http://taurusanswers.com/is-a-2001-ford-taurus-sel-with-82000-miles-a-good-buy-for-5-thousand.html/comment-page-1#comment-845 FleetTech Sun, 26 Jul 2009 08:52:23 +0000 http://taurusanswers.com/is-a-2001-ford-taurus-sel-with-82000-miles-a-good-buy-for-5-thousand.html#comment-845 Yeppie it is overpri ced by around $3500 . It is right at the mileage for the transmission to go bad. I have seen even 06 Taurus going for less than $4000. Problem areas on them Auto transmission, sway bar struts, front and rear coil springs breaking, engines blowing up around 80,000, Senser for EGR called a DPFE Senser goes bad often, runs around $150 for the part. Heater hose assembly Dealer item, runs a couple hundred plus labor. Yeppie it is overpri ced by around $3500 . It is right at the mileage for the transmission to go bad.

It wouldn't be good to buy a taurus and it breaks down from a bad tranny. http://www.kellybluebook.com Look up the car in Kelly Blue book before buying, then have it checked out by a mechanic for anything you dont know how to find.
