Yammer Dan Posted June 23, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 23, 2009 Still got the Taurus? Ad claims you are only 40 miles from me. Little more than that I think. Looks good in pics. I'm stuck without transportation and waiting on insurance to say something. Just wanted to know if it was there. It looks good. What kind of MPG? Does it use any oil? I'm a Buick man but got stuck this time if Insurance don't come up with something I may have to buy a Skateboard. I got a good Unicycle!! Wanna trade??

Yammer Dan Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share #2 Posted June 24, 2009 Does it have passenger air bag? Story behind that. When I wrecked the old Buick one of the first things that came into my head was the Warden if she had been there would have had no air bag. This is the first time I ever had one go off on me and it saved my ass!! I don't want another car with just drivers air bag. Never really thought a lot about it til that day.

gibvel Posted June 24, 2009 Share #4 Posted June 24, 2009 Well, in the list of things it has it does say it has "Dual Air Bags". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted June 24, 2009 Looked right over that I guess. Not a Ford fan and things are so tight with this last accident hanging over my head I don't think I can afford it. But that thing looks good.

gibvel Posted June 24, 2009 Share #6 Posted June 24, 2009 Yeah, and from what I understand, they're one of if not THE cheapest car to insure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yammer Dan Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share #8 Posted June 24, 2009 Lot of people seem to forget about Transmission Fluid. I always keep it changed more often than they require. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddyRich Posted June 24, 2009 Share #11 Posted June 24, 2009 I always like that model Riviera . Sharp looking cars. Had a Regal LS for 4 years. They are good cars. http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/1995-to-1999-buick-riviera-5.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted June 24, 2009 Share #12 Posted June 24, 2009 I've owned 3 Ford Taurus's. I never had a moments trouble out of any of them. Put well over 100,000 miles on two of them. My son is driving one now, '96 model I think that belonged to my mother in law. It has about 85,000 miles on it and is really working out well for him. I have no preference to Ford and have owned more GM vehicles than Fords but the Taurus is a good car that would probably server you well for many miles.

Yammer Dan Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share #13 Posted June 24, 2009 The Buick belonged to a man that passed away couple years ago and it has sat a lot. Need to look at it close. I can probally get it for about 2k and it is loaded and was very well maintained while he was here. Widow parked it under tree and cleaning it up will be job. A large Buick but I think MPG is decent on them. 3800 engine. Supercharged. Most of them on line are selling from 5 to 8k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
