2008 Ford Taurus review
I recently bought a used fwd, SEL model with 154,000 miles and, ironically, as the review directly below mine stated, the engine had a bad ignition coil which resulted in a malfunctioning pcm (computer). I had the faulty ignition coil replaced by a local mechanic and was able to remove the pcm myself and send it to Circuit Board Medics in Greenville, South Carolina. They repaired it for $277. I reinstalled the PCM and the cars runs beautifully. (side note: I was told to replace ALL the ignition coils and plugs before reinstalling the PCM and starting the engine but, not having enough money to do that, I took a chance that the 1 ignition coil I had replaced and the repaired PCM would be ok... so far it has been) Given the miles and the fact the car's 15 years old, I couldn't be more pleased with how well the car still performs. The ride is very smooth and the engine, no longer misfiring, responds perfectly when I step on the gas. From what I've been told, Ford's 3.5 Duratec is one of their more reliable engines when taken care of properly, which I'm thankful the previous owner seems to have done. I got mine for around $2,000. A new battery, new ignition coil, and a repaired PCM cost me $552... so, $2,500 in total for an aging Ford that doesn't feel old at all. Would have loved to have bought this car brand new.

It waa so easy to purchase this car. It was a really great deal, they were flexible and quick, and he even took an extra $100 since it was my daughter's first car. Will definitely go back when I need a car for myself!
2008 Ford Taurus review
I was the 2nd owner of this car. I bought it with 86,000 miles on her. She now has 255,000 miles on her. I have had no significant repairs from 200,000 to the present. It is, by far, the best, most reliable car I have ever owned. When we considered purchasing it, the sales person helped me research it. The professional review said the trunk was so big, you could fit 5 bodies in it. No lie, it has a huge trunk! She loves to go fast. She prefers the highway. I can honestly say this car is at her best while going 70 mph. I had 3 teenage sons, and we traveled comfortably to Colorado from Michigan. It handled the mountains with ease. It has its quirks, but with good guidance with a mechanic, you can manage them. The information out there says to expect 300,000 miles out of her. I believe this is accurate. She shows no sign of slowing down. It's great.

Great People at this shop. Bought a few cars from here. Very straightforward people and tell you how it is. Which is what you want! Easy. Allowed me to have vehicle inspected before purchase. Most dealers will not let you do that! Was out the door with no issues.

I've had my 2008 Ford Taurus X since new. Other than regular maintenance and tire replacements, I've had no other issues. It runs and looks as good as the day I bought it. It now has 177,000 miles on it.

Amazing service at Griffin Ford, the salesman Peter was as easygoing as they come, the least stressful car buying experience I’ve ever had.
2008 Ford Taurus review
it’s pretty good car for anyone who’s in need of it, specially young adults since can fit quite a few people due to the amount of space in the back
