Thinking of buying the 2010 Ford Taurus?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2010 Ford Taurus for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Before you buy the 2010 Ford Taurus, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
What to check on the Taurus
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
Specs, explained
Its 3.5L 6-cylinder drives through a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
A combined rating of 11.0 L/100 km works out to about 33 litres per 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $170.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,125 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space, size and seats
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Luggage space is 595 litres, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
When the Taurus makes sense
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Drive it on your own roads
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Taurus first, and buy only if it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Money matters
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.05 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $170.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,125 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Which one to look for
Within the 2010 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
