The 1994 Ford Taurus: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1994 Ford Taurus for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Buying the 1994 Ford Taurus is a big decision; here is the information we have.
A buyer's checks
There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Reading the spec sheet
It uses the 3.0L 6-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
It is rated at 11.4 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 34 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $53.01 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
How big it is
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA lists 1,076 litres for luggage, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A good match for
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Taurus for a week and see how it fits your life. A week with the Taurus answers more than any brochure. A test week in the Taurus tells you more than any review.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.67 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $176.70 at our price setting.
Year and trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 1994 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
When you know your dates
