Same story of Ford Escort and Toyota Camry.

guest:guest

I used to have an Escort with only 90K on it. It stopped at an intersection after making a U-turn. I had it towed to a Ford dealer's where the car get well. The dealer could not find anything wrong and discounted the inspection fee. After that I was feared to death in that car each time I was followed by a large truck, thinking "if the engine stops, I will be dead". Finally I cannot stand it and traded it in. After that, I read a lot of car owner's experience and come to suspect the problem might be caused by the transmission, for the accident happened just a week after I had the transmission serviced by a Chinese mechanic.

I also heard a story on a brand new Camery. It stops suddenly on a local road and was towed to a dealer's. As it was still under warranty, the dealer did not tell how much it cost, only saying it was a small problem.

枫下家园 / 爱车一族 / 各位，93年Ford Tauraus GL ，130，000KM，价格6300，你们认为如何？ -guest:baobao1; 2001-5-11 (#67639@0)

我住同一house 的一个新移民，Ford ，具体型号记不清了，6万公里，6000大洋 -abn(伟翰); 2001-5-11 (#67645@0)

可是Taurus这种车好象应该贵一点吧？我们昨天去DEALER哪儿看，16万的同型号的要8995。是不是CALGARY的车贵一些。我已经交了定金呀，怎么办？ -guest:baobao1; 2001-5-11 (#67651@0)
the prices of different models varies greatly. The Ford sequence is : Escort, Focus, Contour, Taurus .... One Taurus is worth 2.5 Escort or 1.5 Focus. -guest:guest; 2001-5-11 (#67701@0)

如果里程数是真的，价钱不错。 -rollor(Rollor); 2001-5-11 (#67689@0)

我也很犹豫啊，明后天去机械检查，如果没事，我想还是买了它吧。我打电话给朋友，大家说贵了，怎么现在的车好象比以前贵呢？是不是经济不好了，买旧车的人多了，这第一辆车怎么这么难买呢？ -guest:baobao1; 2001-5-12 (#67867@0)

如果你去FORD作检查的话，可以做一项电脑检查 CAD79。FORD的电脑检查给我留下很好的印象。似乎挺牛。不知对买车那种什么都需要查-查de是否合适。 -wjiang(wjiang); 2001-5-12 (#67881@0)

From what I know, the Taurus is one of the best Car in Ford, but only in Ford. My friend want to sell his Taurus, cause they have a common problem, the engine often stops when you are driving it. -jimmych(tennis); 2001-5-12 {891} (#68382@0)
Your car just worth 4000$, and if possible, you'd better not buy it! It is a terrible car!
My friend bought his car at 11k$, without warranty, the next day, he found the engine stopped on the way, so he totally spent 3K$ to fix it, but it still does not work. This poor guy still drive it with the stooping engine. He want to sell it to dealer without telling them the truth, but the dealer only give him 1600$. It is a 94 ford Taurus, station Wagon, 168Kmileage.
The story has not finished. The poor guy made uphis mind to buy a new car to his wife. You know what happened, the new car has not been driven 100 kilometers, but was hit by a crazy black young guy directly when he turned left at a intersection. That black guy went through the red light.
I will never buy ford car, they have a famous saying about FORD,
Found On Road...
Good Luck to you!

I still think that's a engine problem -guest:guest; 2001-5-12 {264} (#68627@0)
because you had to have it towed, that means you couldn't restart the engine at all. If it were a transmission problem, you should be able to start the engine. One of my friends had 96 taurus which locked the steer whell all of a sudden, it scared shit out of him

天啦，我不买了。你们知道吗，车的挡风玻璃有裂纹，卖车的那个家伙居然要我跟他5、5付帐，还说只要100快，可是我今天一问，便宜的也要近400块，他不是骗我吗。可是我的定金200块是不是要不回来了吧。我买旧车，发现坏人很多，不老实。 -guest:baobao1; 2001-5-12 (#68704@0)

sorry to hear, u should by NO means buy this car, confront the dealer, ask the money back (whether able to get back is another story, but must ask seriously), finally, f*ck the *ssh*le, for me. -guest:guest; 2001-5-12 (#68733@0)
两百块钱能要回来是件好事，要不回来，就算了吧。有一辆提心掉胆的车才是件可怕的事情。老外买FORD都是玩三年就换了，所有的麻烦都留给了后来买车的人。 -jimmych(tennis); 2001-5-13 {787} (#69243@0)
我自己认为如果没有条件买新车或比较新的车的话，就找私人买一辆5000$左右的Camry or Accord. 运气好的话可以买到92年左右，18万公里的Camry. 买车时注意几点：1。车没有事故 2。最好是first owner,如果是老头或老太太就更好了。2。Mileage 不要高于200K, I bought one camry with mileage 216k, lower is better. 3. Try the car carefully, without much noise，车子启动没有问题，加速良好，高速平稳，车子的其它功能正常，就应该是一辆好车。
买车一定要有耐性，在看到好车后要当机立断，也别忘了讲讲价。几条原则：1。 Camry or Accord
2. 91 or Newer
3. First Owner
4. reasonable low mileage (20K each year)
5. Good driving than better looking!

怎么知道是无事故车和几任车主？还有，他应该在专业厂做过检查，有合格证才好吧？另外就是过户，应该不会是抵押的，或者非法的车。除了技术，还有很多要注意的吗？ -aabb(爱吃水草的鱼); 2001-5-13 (#69329@0)

The engine was restarted by the dealer at his first try. I could not have restarted it because I had not turn it off! -guest:guest; 2001-5-12 {97} (#68765@0)
Stupid? Sure. But at that time the first thing I could think and do was to escape from that car.

I know a guy is selling his Tauraus: 98, 160k, fully loaded, 9600!! -guest:yaojian; 2001-5-12 (#68693@0)

This seems to be deal. -guest:guest; 2001-5-12 (#68768@0)
