The 1992 Ford Taurus for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1992 Ford Taurus; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is the 1992 Ford Taurus for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Recalls and complaints
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 684 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine and engine cooling, power train and service brakes; have those parts checked. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
Engine and fuel
The 3.0L 6-cylinder, paired with a 4-speed automatic, drives it. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated at 11.2 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 34 litres. At our price setting, it costs about $17.36 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space, size and seats
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. For luggage, 1,303 litres means bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who it is for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Rent it for a week first
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Taurus answers the big questions. If the Taurus is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
