Used Ford Taurus X for sale near New Haven, IN

I bought a car there yesterday from Paul. He was diligent, thorough with the out of state paperwork and even took care of an issue with the car that was discovered after we closed the sale. If you are looking for a no frills, fair, no pressure shopping experience ask for Paul.

I special ordered this car new while in Guam on military assignment. Had it shipped to hawaii where i drove it daily to work at the shipyard for 6 or 7 years. then, since i had need for a car at my sisters house in florida, i shipped it to CA and drove it to Ft Lauderdale where it stayed for another 6 years. In that time, I drove it back and forth across the country several times before finally shipping it back to Hawaii where it resumed its role as transportation to and from work and errands. In the entire time I have had it in 15 years, its not had single breakdown or mechanical issue. I am astounded at its reliability. Even the original battery lasted 11 years. the only small issue was i had a ignition key that was defective when it was new. Warranty covered it. but if it didn't, you can get that old type key for $15 online. then just recently, the little windshield washer pump quit. that was $35. Other than that, I have just done oil changes and tires. I did stop in a Ford Dealership in Utah when it was 12 years old just to inquire if i was supposed to do anything to it. they just said your supposed to change brake fluid every 10 years and I might as well change transmission fluid. So I did that. Note- I did recent research on other owners of this car or more specifically the 3.5 V6 Duratec engine which revealed a concern to be aware of. while its not happened to me and i see lots of owners with 300,000 miles or more on these cars, its said that the water pump design in the engine is behind the timing chain and when it goes out, coolant likely will seep into oil pan. If the owner is not alert to any oddities like engine temperature rising or strange noises and ignore this, and keep driving it with coolant in the oil pan, it could ruin engine. the thing is the water pump could go for 250,000 miles or longer or could go out in 80,000 miles. the water pumps are also difficult to change on this car. so its not like your just going to do it for preventative measures. Since this problem is hard to detect before its too late, i just am vigilant to always watch temp gauge on dash and be alert for any odd engine noises, etc, in case this ever happens to me. I also take a few seconds once a month to check oil on dipstick to see if any evidence of coolant getting into oil. From all I have read on these motors, they will last a long time if not for this issue. but you have to catch it early before it can cause damage to the engine. hopefully i will get several more years out of it before it starts needing repairs. I love cars like this one that don't break down. Driving wise, its like most of the other reviewers have stated. I wished the rear glass on the tailgate opened separately from tailgate so long boards and other such things from home depot could be put in the back without leaving entire tailgate open. Ambient road noise is not great either. the car itself doesn't rattle or squeak, even after all these years. but if your driving on concrete road or rough textured pavement, you are subjected to more road noise than I'd like. I am sort of measuring that by a tough standard. by comparison, its about as quiet inside as a Bmw 3 series or Jaguar x type wagon I have. But if I compare it to a Lincoln, the Lincoln is much more quiet and luxurious than any of those cars. But for me personally, I really like the quiet luxury ride of a Lincoln for which few cars can compare. I doubt many people will object to this but me. so i give the car a triple A rating but be aware of the water pump issue. might last you over 300,000 miles or more. but it might go out before that and you better catch it quickly before it damages the engine.

We’re very nice got back to me right away but I couldn’t get there they were farther then I thought. .

Bought new in June 2009 as a leftover 2008 model. Have done regular oil changes (at Ford dealers), replaced battery each time with the Ford Motorcraft battery, brakes, and tires. Just this past fall, replaced 2 belts. NO mechanical problems at all. No dents or dings. Everything works great. It has 135, 260 miles on it right now. I have decided to keep it until it quits or I do!

Nick from Bennetts Auto Solutions was amazing. He was very patient with me, there was absolutely zero pressure for me to buy a car from him. He answered all of my questions and replied quickly to all of my text messages. We are about 1500 miles apart so I never actually met him face to face, however, he was always very respectful to me and I believe that he also is completely honest. I had my car shipped, he sent me a picture of it on the transport companies trailer to let me know that it was being picked up. I would definitely do business with Bennetts Auto again.

My 2008 Ford Taurus X is STILL awesome in 2024, and I am presently looking to add another for my family - if I can find one with less than 200,000, has heated leather seats (the driver’s seat heat is notoriously always broken - including in mine - which remedied with a remote starter), and an automatic automatic liftgate.

Brian was pleasant, not what I was expecting. The whole process was fine. I did not buy a car off of the lot, but if the right one showed up I would consider it.

i had this exact car just a different color and i got in a bad car accident and it completely saved my life i walked out of my crash with just scratches on my foot and a little pain in my neck

Fantastic service! Everyone was so kind and helpful throughout my car buying experience! I would recommend them to anyone!!

Roomy, decent performance, OK gas mileage: 23-24 mpg. We drove ours for 208,000 miles and then sold it to a neighbor who still has it - with over 250,000 on the odometer. We had one significant problem in 10 years of ownership. A sensor on the AT went bad. $350 to repair.

This Ford Tuarus x has been amazing love the acceleration and the fwd I don't like the the transmission it has started to slip but I'm getting it fixed

Jake was responsive & friendly, made the purchase process easy. Highly recommend this father & son team!

This is the vehicle I never thought I wanted, but have fallen in love with. I've always been a car guy, but drove a pickup for the last 20+ years because of perceived hauling ability need. It turns out the Taurus X drives and handles like a car (which it is), but with it's higher ride height and folding seats, it can haul most of the things I thought I needed a truck for. It's one of the safest vehicles manufactured in it's era, and can carry 7 with luggage when needed. It handles great in the snow when outfitted with winter tires, even without all-wheel drive. I've been driving this car for years, and I intend to drive it for several more.

Another great experience with Smith Ford of Conway. I have purchased a number of vehicles from this dealer and have always been completely satisfied with the experience. Especially their sales manager, Chris.

Lexus of Tucson on Speedway is the friendlist dealership I have ever been in. Everyone greets you and asked how you are doing. They all were great!
