The 2016 Ford Taurus: before you buy
No 2016 Ford Taurus is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page puts the 2016 Ford Taurus in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
The figures, translated
Under the hood: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Expect about 31 litres for every 300 km, going by its 10.2 L/100 km combined rating. A 300 km weekend costs about $47.43 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
What the Taurus is like
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 566 litre trunk is enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Try before you buy
Rent the Taurus first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Taurus answers the big questions. A test week in the Taurus tells you more than any review.
Year and trim
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. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $158.10 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Next step
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
