The 2000 Ford Taurus for buyers
No 2000 Ford Taurus is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. For anyone shopping for the 2000 Ford Taurus, here are the facts that matter.
A buyer's checks
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 1,195 complaints with NHTSA, most often about suspension, service brakes and engine and engine cooling; have those parts checked. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Specs, explained
Power: the 3.0L 6-cylinder; drive: 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.
It is rated 11.9 L/100 km combined: about 36 litres every 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $55.35 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,383 a year for 15,000 miles.
When the Taurus makes sense
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
What to expect from the Taurus
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. With 1,104 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A longer test drive
Rent the Taurus first, and buy only if it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Drive the Taurus on your commute before you commit to it.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $184.50 at our price setting.
