We bought a used(abused) 1986 Ford Tarus sedan and it WAS a real POS!
They practically give away those used Ford Tauruses. They aren't good for single men though. Not exactly a chick magnet!
My grandparents had an 86 Sable. The paint peeled off in sheets. The Excema-mobile.
I owned a Taurus and a Sable. Both had electrical systems problems so severe that I got rid of both. Never again will I buy a car from the Big Three.
