Used Ford Taurus for Sale in Del Mar, CA

The 2005 Ford Taurus does exactly what you would expect it to. It drives, and it definitely is a car. This vehicle was designed for fleet purchasers, and if you rented a car sometime between 2005 and 2010 you've been in one of these. It doesn't accelerate particularly quickly, the suspension isn't very tight, the brakes aren't super fast, and the steering isn't super responsive. In fact, the driving experience could easily be described as "spongy". The caveat to all of this, though, is that is also neither unpleasant or bad. There's a stately gentility to driving this car--it's straight out of the family sedans and station wagons if a bygone age--and it's actually rather comfortable. Interestingly, like cars from that bygone age, the Taurus has some features like a bench front seat (with a seatbelt in the middle!), a column shifter, a tape deck so you can listen to some of those eighties favorites, and length! This thing is like driving a yacht! Most importantly, this car seems to be essentially reliable--it is good at its essential function of getting up to six people and their stuff to wherever they need to go. So if you've got a family and the whole minivan/SUV culture just isn't your thing, then maybe you should consider this car.

I bought this vehicle as a sophomore in high school (7 years ago) from my friend's grandmother. Since I purchased it, I've had little to no problems with it. The car is functional, and has a large trunk. I'm able to fit almost anything I need to into the trunk, and one of the seats in the back go down to extend the trunk. Additionally, it has a 6th seat in the front in between the driver and passenger. The break pads seem to wear off quickly, and the gas mileage is OK. I have never been involved in an accident, and if I did I feel I would be safe. The one thing I dislike about the car is that it doesn't look sporty. It looks like an older individuals car based on the frame and overall shape. The inside of the car is also pretty dated, it doesn't have too many additions or perks. Seats are cotton and it doesn't have an AUX outlet or a tape outlet to add an AUX cord into. Overall I've been happy with the consistency, but haven't found it to be a car that I would want to purchase again. It gets me from A to B and is safe.
