2008 Ford Taurus X for Sale

Growing up, my family never bought Fords. We were GMC, Chevy people. My husband and I purchased a certified, pre-owned 2008 Ford Taurus X and I've converted. I loved the look and size of the Freestyle. We found a Freestyle on steroids with our Taurus X. Great power, very comfortable ride, and lots of fun conveniences like heated seats, front dual comfort zones, moon roof, and more. I loved it so much that I recently purchased another Ford. Sorry Grandpa!

Great vehicle. I am 6' 4" with a bad knee and love the low step in height. Runs great on highway and in town . Gas mileage about 21 to 25 mpg depending on my foot. I got the fwd and have never gotten stuck in the illinois winters. Got a flat one winter and the spare tire located inside is a stroke of genius . Only got 186000 MLS on it and plan to double that .

Ive installed a hitch, it tows great. Drives great. Fits my family of 7. I rarely need service. Owned for 11 years and loved every minute.

The car was an excellent fit for our family. Very comfortable vehicle. 3rd row small and not appropriate for anyone with larger children or adults but great for our church youth group. Well equipped with plenty of handy storage, outlets, heated seats, video system and good sound system. The heated seats went first. Got one fixed and the other went. Then the heat/air issues cost another several hundred. Followed by the doozy---transmission fluid leak. Seems it runs through the air conditioning which website after website says is a design flaw. About this time the hood paint started to bubble up all over the place. Next the throttle body needed replaced followed immediately by the final kicker- the leaking transmission fluid that we promptly filled and had fixed caused permanent transmission issues which would have been a $3000 fix for a car valued at $1800. Oh and the drivers seat stopped moving and was going to cost a additional $500 to repair. Oh and I didn't mention that when my son accidentally put my key in his pocket and the clothes went in the washing machine, you had to have the car towed to the dealership to get a new key made, again stupid planning of Ford's part. We loved this vehicle. It was just what we needed and was comfortable and suitable for our family but it can only be a good fit if it still runs. For us, fixing an additional $4000 in problems that stemmed from negligence (no undercoating on hood paint) or design flaws (key, transmission) was not feasible because we couldn't count on the car not developing some new issue as soon as that one was fixed. It got 149,900 miles on it. My Chevy Impala had just shy of 300,000 miles so I know how to take care of a car. This was just a sad experience for us.

It's spacious, lots of legroom, and can control the temperature of the whole truck front and rear. Its got a TV, DVD player, Bluetooth headphones so the kids have something to do besides bother each other. We love it, put a smile on our whole family's face.

I brought this car used and it was a few yrs old with low miles. I had never heard of it before purchasing and was not at the time a big fan of ford. This car changed that after owning for 3 yrs I really like it. It had been very reliable and great in winter as it’s awe. The amount of room in the back is amazing. With seats down in back my 9 ft kayak fits fine.

Nice and steady vehicle. Plenty of room for a family car. Feel like driving a tank specially on snow. The third row seats are a big plus. 7 passengers can ride comfortably.

I needed a vehicle that could seat at least 6 and this one fit the bill. I have owned it for a couple years now and have taken it from 120000 miles to 155000. So far the only complaints I have had is that the alignment is hard to keep where it needs to be. I do live on a dirt road so that probably doesn't help. Engine uses a little oil but I guess that's common for that many miles. Overall it has been a reliable car that I have had to put more tires on than I would like because of the alignment issues.

This vehicle was just a look till we test drove it & then wanted it a lot roomier than what I had so that is 1 plus now I can haul bigger stuff how the seats fold flat larger space than a trunk & like this vehicle verses a truck also have a kid so with it all closed in is also a plus & we all have are own seats but can still haul so we are happy with the choice

We have owned the car since new in 2008 we have the trailer package we have pulled trailers we did a trip to Colorado from St.Louis pulling a trailer that was technically too big for the car didn't have a single issue we do have two sets of rims one with snow tires one without and have never had any issues in the snow we do not have all wheel drive the car now has two hundred and nineteen thousand miles and is still running fine we do all routine maintenance and just make sure to keep up on everything that should be done and have not had a single issue with it

I purchased my Taurux X SEL about 5 years ago. I was going to keep it for a year until I found something a little more flashy. BUT, I have had zero problems and I still have it over four years later. I've had to replace the battery and tires, but other than basic maintenance that's been it. It's very comfortable for trips. The tilt wheel and cruise control are dream on those long rides. Nice car for storage. Four of us and all our stuff fit's with plenty of room. I have been very satisfied with this car. It's definitely the best "used car" I have ever purchased. No regrets.

Initially we were interested in this AWD model to replace a trusty but very well used Jeep Cherokee. The Taurus X is larger and more capable of carrying gear for camping and winter sports but does lack the ground clearance of similar vehicles. It had a bit of a reliability problem as there were codes coming up, most of which were caused by improper care before we got it. In 100,000 miles driven it had only one major repair, the faulty input and output shaft sensors in early production models that Ford should have replaced. It’s unfortunate that this model was dropped, as it’s much more sleek in appearance and design than the Flex it’s being replaced with.

Call it a Crossover, call it a SUV, call it a station wagon, it is a very versatile vehicle. The 3.5L V6 is a big improvement over the 3.0L from its predecessor, the similar Freestyle. Comfortable seats, and ability to stow all but the driver's seat.

I have to boys and it's great for them. Plenty of room for everybody! With the seating the boys don't have to set next to each

Solid family hauler. This replaces a Minivan and the handling is great in this car. I am 6'2" and there is plenty of room in the drivers seat.

I like this vehicle even though it is 9 years old. The comfort and reliability in winter having AWD makes this a great car for the upper Midwestern states.

I really didn't want a Ford since my very first car was a fors and I had all kinds of issues with it. But this ford is amazing and drives great!!!!! I like that it's comfortable and roomy.

My Taurus was great on gas and very smooth riding. Never needed repairs. We took several long trip and it was a dream to ride in so smooth.

The car have 3 row seats , full leather , aux , mp3 + 6 disc in front , AWD , air bag front druve and pasanger and back , very smoth shift

It didn't meet all my needs, but the car lasted a long while and was very reliable. The car also had good space even though it was only a five seated vehicle.
