way one check for shape is by a checklist you can get by typing into search box how to check used car
follow a check list to find signs of problems but 500 for any car you can drive is a deal paint job price wil vary with shop an dpaint your want and how much worsk need to be done to get it right

Seems like very low miles for a 22-year old car. If that's true mileage, then it could be a decent deal. Insurance will be low, and Tauruses were pretty safe.
However, that being said, it's still a 22-year old car. Make sure you spend $100 or so and have a mechanic check it over thoroughly. Low mileage means nothing if it hasn't been maintained or it's been sitting outside for 20-plus years.
I would worry about spending money on faded paint. It's your first car, keep the cash you have in the bank for repairs. On a 22-year old car, things are going to go wrong. Belts, hoses, etc. A shiny new paint job on a car that doesn't run gets you nowhere.

40,000 miles sounds like a lie.
As far as the rest of the condition, all you told us was that it's blue, and has no rust.
That's like asking how healthy a person is, if they're blond, and have no zits.
Seriously.
Go get the service records, have a mechanic check it out, and find out WHY it's only $500. If it has those low of miles, it should be quite a bit more.
Nevermind that I have yet to find any car for under $500 that doesn't need several thousand dollars in repairs a month or two later.
