Car financing: the 2009 Ford Taurus
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2009 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. Buying the 2009 Ford Taurus is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the Taurus
There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Reading the spec sheet
Power: the 3.5L 6-cylinder; drive: 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.
It is rated at 11.8 L/100 km combined, so budget about 35 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $18.29 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,375 a year for 15,000 miles.
What the Taurus is like
Being a large sedan, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is rated at 595 litres: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who the Taurus suits
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
A longer test drive
Drive the Taurus on your commute before you commit to it. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,375 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
