Big mistake in my part to buy that dog.
It had like maybe like 90 horsepower.
Used to have a Sable with the 3.8 V6. As I've already read here, I know too that engine loved to blow head gaskets. I still stand amazed when I remember the day green antifreeze was dripping out the back tail-pipe!
Man that sucker was blown!
Over the years, I've had an '87 Taurus with the 4 banger, '88 Sable Wagon with the 3.8 V6. I had a 94 Taurus with the 3.8 V6. I think the 92-95 Tauruses were the best ever. They went downhill in 96.
I bought a 1997 Taurus and sold it to my brother. He's still driving it. And he's only on his second transmission.
But overall, they are cheap to buy.
