  Totaled -- Thanks! - 1993 Ford Taurus
  By Ford No More - September 6 - 2:00 am

  Purchased the car for my daughter in 1999 with 70,000 miles on it based on safety and hoped-for reliability. Way wrong! Would have been better off spending more for a Toyota. The Taurus has been a money-pit. Fuel pump ($700), A/C ($1800), and on, and on. As my daughter kept saying, "its dying again!". Worse yet, even though the car was already 7 years old when purchased, its lost 75% of its cost over the past 3 years! She just got rear-ended (shes fine) and the car was totaled. Im SO glad!

  Three Years Too Long - 1993 Ford Taurus
  By Joe R F - September 2 - 2:00 am

  Had numerous repairs under waranty. As car was new, I thought I had a real lemon but repairs ceased as warranty expired. Have car nearly 10 years and variety of major repairs were needed: Xmission (after 103K miles), Alternator, Air Con, Cooling System, and most recently, Brakes needed complete overhaul. Lots of minor repairs in last two years. Overall, car served me well with 173K miles and three kids growing up around it.

  Smooth Going - GL Sedan - 1993 Ford Taurus
  By Pfossit - August 21 - 2:00 am

  I had over 10 repairs from 1993 to 1996 while the car was under warrenty. Since then the car has run like a charm. The only negatives, the electric window on the back left passenger door stopped working and the air conditioning broke around 70,000 miles. Otherwise, going strong at 104,000 miles.

  taurus is best - 1993 Ford Taurus
  By diane - August 11 - 2:00 am

  Great mileage & very reliable. Have not had a major problem and currently running on 150,000 miles of travel. Would love to have another. Recent problems, past month new radiator, muffler, battery, and tune up. Small brake work. Spent $550 to fix all. Air conditioner in working order but vent works on upper only.

  Good work - 1993 Ford Taurus
  By BOBleahy - August 1 - 2:00 am

  I really like the resuilt of buying this car. Even with 80000 miles it run really good, even the way I drive it with my foot to the ground of the foor almost all the time. The only problem is the check engine light is on only when Im in warm weather or drove to fast. I realised it could had almost over heated, to counter act that I just look at the rpms and try not to go over 3000 rpm. And it would be fine for hours. Its amasing how much I got to like it even more over time that I had owned it.

  Watch out for the 3.8L ones - 1993 Ford Taurus
  By GotMach - July 26 - 2:00 am

  I bought one in thinking I was getting a good car with only 60,000 miles on it but had nothing but problems. Less than 500 miles after I bouth it my air conditioner went out. Then under 10,000 the motor blew a Head gasket. I have heard blown head gaskets are common in the 3.8L motors. My mother in law owns a 96 one with a 3.0 and has been having better luck with hers. Also my transmission I think was starting to slip.

  1993 Sedan Reliable and Safe for the Mon - 1993 Ford Taurus
  By ElizabethAnne - July 12 - 2:00 am

  My car was bought with ABS/ Dual air bags. I loved my car, it was a safe car. I had no problems with my car, other than the normal oil change and fixed the brakes. The only cost was when I got my air conditioning fixed and maybe a little more was done than was actually necessary. I had my car for seven years. I sold it when the Taurus got rid of the ugly butterfly shape and got side air bags. I bought my new Taurus for exactly those reasons. The 93 Taurus was comfortable and safe and a pleasure to drive.
