Don't expect to enhance your standard of living from it. A taurus was nothing special, trouble prone and are a dime a dozen. Just like a Crown Vic or G.M. and those are far superior to a Taurus. If you are concerned, don't put it up for auction.I submitted my 66,000 mile 1999 Taurus wagon to Cars and Bids and they replied they would list it if I agree to a no reserve listing. Not sure if I want to take that risk if it doesn't get many bids. Thoughts?
