Auto loans: the 2005 Ford Taurus
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2005 Ford Taurus for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 2005 Ford Taurus before buying one.
A buyer's checks
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.
Under the hood
The engine is the 3.0L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
A combined rating of 12.1 L/100 km works out to about 36 litres per 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $18.76 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,450 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the Taurus
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Practical details
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 1,104 litre trunk is enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Taurus for a week and see how it fits your life. Drive the Taurus on your commute before you commit to it. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2005 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$3,450 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Make a request
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2005 Ford Taurus from us first.
