Should be pretty cheap. See that seam in the last pic where it wraps around the tail light? Take the tail light out and the rest should be easy. It's just a flexible plastic filler majigger.
Look under the plastic rocker panel covers for rust though.

looks like a removable plastic panel. Should be available.
is that a 1gen or 2nd taurus?

Car is $400.
Now. Junkyards with green?
*PS: If It were that easy. But my mate wants me to not even invest THAT much effort.
PS: It is a 1995.

Agree get the part off a wreaked on at the junkyard for $20 bucks and cost to paint it (and match it) will not be worth it. So whatever color you get make sure its close if possible. In fact you may be able to do a search and get the same color but expect with shipping and such to be into it for $100-$150 bucks.
Me I'd find a part and put it in.
Who knows what may happen around the next curve???

If she likes it I will do exactly this. BITOG is invaluable (supremely valuable) with my car shopping. I have limited budget.

Buy the car already.
The only concern should be finding a taurust this old in the junkyards; it's probably been shredded, sent to china, and sent back to us as lead-soldered cans of peaches by now.
But if that all happens you can stuff a bunch of newspapers in the hole then bondo over the top of the pile.
PS, I used to own a taurus.

I think we all have owned one before (and sorry that I did.. In fact my Taurus (and my first post) is what brought me to BITOG almost 10 years ago)

I will be at North Weymouth / EBay / etc, "Parts cars" if I dont just Bondo Hair this and start asking about paint. Tempting.
Down south that generation of taurus is still plentiful. If you can't find the same color for cheap, and don't want to pay to ptm it, then just leave it. It's not hurting anything.
btw $400 is a good deal for that if there is no major mechanical problems.

Junk yard part (look for a you pull it type yard for lowest price).
Changing the subject, years ago I attended a real-estate club to learn about managing real-estate.
Along with doing a credit search on perspective tenants one of the things that successful landlords used to determine how they could expect people to take care of their property while they lived in it was how they took care of their car. And one of the main things they looked at believe it or not was weather or not the vehicle the perspective tenant drove had all four hub caps or not.
So besides the part at a junk yard, you might pick up some low cost plastic hub caps at an auto parts store, or a K-Mart.

Get yourself an old teddy bear and jam it in the hole and drive around like that.....
