I have over 400,000 miles on my 1989 Taurus. The transmission is sticking a little but it loves to run on an open highway. Too bad or lucky for me the speedometer only goes to 90.
I love that car. It's really a shame the interior is slowly disintergrating.
My '94 got to 220000 miles before death, but it was on its third tranny. I had a 92 Olds Cutlass which was worse, aand the Taurus got better gas mileage by far. I didn't need to attract chicks with the car, and I could put four golf bags in the trunk. Get them first, then show 'em the car.
