i'm thinking on buying a ford taurus 05-07 model ?

[teodor d]

30-45000 miles $8000-9500 price range.
I have a 02 malibu bought for $1500 with 80000 miles. after another $3000 miles in repairs turns out I might need to replace one or all of the following: injectors, fuel pump, head gasket, both intake manifolds, ignition coils.($$$$$$).
I would like to own a car that I can average at most $3500/year in combined car payments and repairs. My main needs besides cost are for the car to be midsize or fullsize sedan, at least ok handling on ice, at least semi reliable. I only drive about 6000 miles per year.
Would a taurus be a good idea for me? or should I buy something else? Any ideas?

any car you buy should be checked out by a mechanic well worth the money

So you want to get rid of your unreliable car for another unreliable junk??????

Go look at Hondas because they will last 300,000 miles without a problem.

For $9000, you can buy a '05 Accord that will last much longer than a Ford or GM crap.
