Thinking of buying the 2005 Ford Taurus?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2005 Ford Taurus for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2005 Ford Taurus, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Before you sign for the Taurus
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Owners filed 774 complaints with NHTSA, most often about vehicle speed control, power train and engine; have those parts checked.
Reading the spec sheet
It runs the 3.0L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Combined fuel use is 12.1 L/100 km: about 36 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $18.76 to drive 100 km. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,450 a year for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Space and size
Being a large sedan, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Its 1,104 litre trunk is enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Try before you buy
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Taurus answers the big questions. Drive the Taurus on your commute before you commit to it. If the Taurus is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Which one to look for
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.76 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $187.60 at our price setting.
One more step
