My first car was at 17 ( bought myself) it was a 1989 Ford Taurus Gray Primer, no heat or air, windshield wipers didn’t really work, had to hold the antenna to get a radio signal, no front bumper. It was a POS!

I keep the car running by adding water and coolant, but oftentimes the plastic tank becomes full. The car (1989 Ford Taurus GL) is beginning to have a knocking sound on the passenger side. There is some kind of fluid (condensed water maybe?) coming not from the tailpipe, but somewhere before it gets to that point. Could the problem be the thermostat? I want to know how I can fix the problem myself. Help!

I started taking care of an elderly gentleman. To help me get back and forth to his home to care for him, his daughter loaned me her second car.

It’s a 1989 Ford Taurus. Blue Book on the Internet at the highest price is 0.00.

She wants to sell this car to me. She started at 00, then 00 now she’s at 0. She says she wants to get out what she put into it. That entails: new brakes, 4 used tires, a 0 compressor and a new battery.

I’ve been driving this car for 8 months. It gets me where I need to go. It has no air conditioning and where we live it’s sunshine 9 months out of the year, and can get extremely hot during summer.

I need a car, but should I pay this much for this car. It’s in okay condition, but I’m going to be putting money into it as well to bring it up to par. What do you think???

I had a 1989 Mercury Sable, which is the same thing as the 1989 Ford Taurus, and I’m wondering if the brakes on the back are interchangeable between the two.

Please only answer if you know the correct answer, thanks!
