might be getting a new car

[Prius]

yeah, me and my Parents are considering buying a Ford Taurus, because A) a Ford Dealer is offering a screaming good deal, and b) we thought it would be cheaper to buy a new car than to keep putting money into the lemon van to keep it operatible, we don't know if we will buy one, but we are looking at buying it.

[GT F1]

why do you like ford so much?

[Prius]

Because they offer some innovate designs, and I am impressed about how reliable my dads Escort is.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

innovative? I'm not going to get into that.

For an Undemanding driver, the Taurus should fit into your life well. Just don't expect to remember it ten years later.....

[Prius]

I care to disagree, Consumer reports claims that the Taurus has carried a long even reliability record, plus the fact that the old Taurus' are still on teh road.

But I do agree that the Taurus is not the most exciting car in the world, but it's comfortable, quiet, and there is enough rear leg room for me so i'll be comfortable on long road trips (we know for sure, becasue we used reated Taurus' all the time for long road trips), and if the Taurus has ample legroom for me, then it must be pretty roomy, becasue i'm very tall.

[johnnynumfiv]

My dad's taurus has 180,000miles replaced the transmission and waterpump and it's still going. Good luck on the deal.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

You've raised reliability (Something which I did not care to mention) as an example of innovation. wow, thats like a Fleet Change-of-subject.

Wheres the technical prowess, the 500 might be boring but at least it has CVT.

Good luck on the deal, no doubt Ford needs more undiscerning consumers to peddle it's products to.

[baddabang]

yeah, me and my Parents are considering buying a Ford Taurus, because A) ROyal Oak Ford is offering a screaming good deal, and b) we thought it would be cheaper to buy a new car than to keep putting money into the lemon van to keep it operatible, we don't know if we will buy one, but we are looking at buying it.

You mean your parents are considering buying a Ford Taurus.

And why get a Taurus, talk them into getting something a bit more exciting. :rolleyes:

[GT F1]

what's your price range?

[Prius]

The only reason we are considering a Taurus is becasue a Ford Dealer is giving us an extremely good deal. And I didn't use reliability as a example of ijnnpvation, but I like some of teh features, like teh keypad on teh door to get you in if you locked your keys inside, or the bench seat that has a console that folds out of it.

Plus, if I haven't stated this earlier, my dad used to own a Taurus (1989) and it ran faithfully. The only reason we sold it is becasue since we bought teh lemonvan, all it was doing was sitting and rotting in the front of the driveway.

[Prius]

Wheres the technical prowess, the 500 might be boring but at least it has CVT.




I never really thought teh Five Hundred was boring, but my dad hates it (only becasue he gets spoiled with his rentals, because he gets Infinitis and the such), but I wasn't really impressed by the fit and finish, because it felt a bit plasticy, but I heard that Ford fixed all that.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

I'm guessing your getting a good deal on the taurus because it's being phased out, theres some more milking to be done in that case. See what you can get.

most Cars these days have a console that comes out of the rear bench seat..... but their handy to have.

then get an infiniti, something like a G20 or I35 with its top quality high rated engine

[Prius]

not the rear, the front. What happens is that the sseat bottyem folds out to a CD holder, cupholders, and some cubbys, and the back part folds down into a armrest.

or you can order the premium package and get a conventional console like this.

http://i11.ebayimg.com/04/i/05/0f/d4/91_3.JPG?set_id=100D

and as far as I know, teh Taurus/Sable are the only cars that do that.

and teh deal s so good, we might not need to milk it, but we can try haggling.

[Prius]

we can't afford an infiniti, if we weren't gtting such a good deal on the Taurus, we wouldn't be considering buying a new car at all.

[The_Canuck]

a taurus? well i guess if your getting a good deal it might not be bad, we got our pathfider for only 30kCAN cause that was there last 2004 and they were changing the looks for 05.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

oooh, that sort of bench seat.

See Vauxhall Meriva/Signum.

If the Caravan is as unreliable as you claim it to be, it falls under lemon laws and Chrysler must refund your car purchase and all repairs.

[CHEESE-TACULAR]

HELLOOOO, your dad drives infinitis so buy one...READ MY FIRST POST :)

[Prius]

Only because he gets them as rentals on business trips, because he rents so much, he gets discounts on premium cars (he goes on business trips all the time)

and ESp, it doesn't fall under lemon laws because teh warrenty expired, and the same problem hasn't occoured 3 times in a row. I just call it teh Lemon because it is always in teh shop, mostly for maitnance every 4 months because of prematurely wearing parts.

Goddamit prius, G20's arent expensive and look better than the taurus. whats your price range?

if we weren't getting a screaming good deal on the Taurus than we wouldn't be considering a new car, and would pray that the Caravan can make it for 2 more years until we could afford to shop around.

A-Infiniti doesn't build G20's anymore. Cheese-Tacular had assumed you had some sort of automotive knowledge which you always brag about. He was making the implication that you would buy it used.

B-Your Caravan, if I recall correctly, was a 1996 model? That means it's 10 years old. I wouldn't call failing parts failing 'prematurely.'

teh Caravan is a 98 model, and teh spark pulgs died at 78,000 miles. Chrysler claimed that it wouldn't need a tuneup until 100,000 miles, but we already had 2 done, but mostly, it is plain, unreliable.

and we are not shopping around and being picky. I know teh G20 is gone. But we are not shoppign around and being picky, if we are to get a car now, it will be a Taurus. If we want to shop around, then we will try to see if we can squeeze a couple more years out of teh Caravan. We saw that a ford dealer is giving such a good deal on the Taurus, and we figured it would be cheaper than to keep putting money into teh Caravan, sonsidering it seems that it is sucking money out of our pockets liek a vacuum because of all teh parts we are replacing because of drivetrain failure, and we thought that this would be a good deal as we got rental Tauruses and we liked them because they were comfortable and roomy, and they have a proven reliability record, plus we had a good expirance in teh past with teh Taurus we used to own.

so if we are buyign now, it will be a Taurus, if we decide to wait, they we'll come up with a price range and you will be free to throw out suggestions.

[CHEESE-TACULAR]

im gonna start over;
so, prius, how much will you be paying for this Taurus?

[Prius]

if we are to get a 2006, $14,000. 2005, 9,800. 2004 Sable, 9,100.

[Esperante]

I can *agree* (for the sake of staying sane) about it being unreliable. But 78,ooo miles out of your plugs is fairly reasonable. And even so, it's a small expense to replace them. How many miles are on it now? my neighbors have a 96 Voyager that needed none and is in the 150,ooo area.

That's right. It would be silly to get a better car for the money. What are you paying for it?
*EDIT* $14,000...Not bad, considering it's 'new...' But the Ford dealers need to purge themselves of Taurus' for the Fusion. It's an outdated model, and there's plenty better used cars availible.

[CHEESE-TACULAR]

if we are to get a 2006, $14,000. 2005, 9,800. 2004 Sable, 9,100.

did you know that you can buy a good G20 for about 1,000?

[Prius]

What are you paying for it?

read post above your post.

[Prius]

we're getting places now;
did you know that you can buy a good G20 for about 5,000?

yeah, but teh G20 will be in about 50,000 mile depending on it's age, teh Taurus will have barely any, so it MAY last longer (I inserted teh MAY becasue it infiniti is foregn, and foregin cars last forever)

[CHEESE-TACULAR]

[Prius]

hmmmmm. ford, nissan...ford, nissan...taurus,G20...do me a favor-stop posting for a full minute and picure an infiniti in your drive way-ceritified pre-owned, it has a warranty and standard leather+bells and whistled and lots of fun options

[Esperante]

I can't believe I'm even arguing this, but seeing as rarely you accept anybody else's points or opinions, I might as well, but for the record, I had edited my post immeaditely after posting it, upon which I noticed you posted the price.

BTW-Does a new car always outweigh an old one? If you lived in the 1970's and had the option of buying a new Gremlin or used Ford euro Escort, with the Escort being considerably cheaper, you would buy the Gremlin simply because it's new.

[Prius]

got a great idea.


buy a Taurus now as teh family car, and when I turn 16, buy the Infiniti for me.

[Esperante]

Because by then you will have money stored away for yet another car.

Seriously now, if you can't buy a more luxurious car now and have to hold on to the Caravan until it kaputs on you, I would be in denial about your first car.

[Prius]

The Infiniti is nice, but we have our heart set on the Taurus. it's a screaming good deal, we are supporting teh amercan economy, plus, trading in teh Lemon will knick off another 3,000 bucks off teh price, so teh Taurus will be the price of a Kia Rio.

but, yes, you're right, if we buy teh Taurus now, we will probilly be able to get me a ncie first car (I am storing away money, plus my parents say that they will help me when teh time comes.)

besides, hey, if my parents get the Taurus, then I can buy the infiniti and have it all to myself :D

[Esperante]

If you buy the Infiniti you're also supporting the American economy becuase, since it's no longer built, you're buying it from a dealer, not from a factory. But, whatever.

UPDATE:

after checking in, a person from Bob Thibeatu Ford called us and told us about a top of the line loaded Taurus on their lot, which the price can be taken down to 20,000 with all of Thibeatu's rebates. if we trade in the Lemon, we will get the price down to 18,000. But my mom doesn't want to let the piece of shit go. I don't know why, Ive gone mental trying to figure out what she sees in that shitbox.

[Esperante]

Oh, come on! What do you mean you can't understand why your mom doesn't want to get rid of a minivan? It's big enough to haul a family around in and isn't inefficient. Plus, for $20,000 you can get a new Sonata, which you even said you'd prefer.

[Prius]

yeah, but who needs a minivan when you only have 1 kid to haul around

[GT F1]

for $20,000 you could get a really good car

Hey! I'm sure my VR-4 could give your Audi a run.:cool: ;)

hehe i'm sure your VR-4 will enjoy the fresh air of my exhaust :D, proboblly not, depending on how well tuned that thing is, VR4 is such a great car, just bit too heavy :(

[KELSA]

ok, idiots, I'm done explaining.

firstI'M ONLY 13! It'S NOT WHAT CAR I WANT, IT'S WHICH CAR MY PARENTS WANT, AND THEY WANT A TAURUS! I WOULD PERFER A SONATA OR AMANTI, BUT THEY WANT A TAURUS, AND WHAT MY PARENTS WANT IS WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO GET. SECOND, I'M NOT GOING TO TELL THEM THAT THE TAURUS IS AN ECONOBOX PIECE OF SHIT AND OT GET A BIMMER BECAUSE I RESPECT MY PARENT'S TASTES AND FEELINGS, AND I'M NOT GOING TO ACT ALL ASSININE, BECAUSE IN FACT I LIEK THE TAURUS! NOW IF ANYONE IS GOING TO FRONT ME AGAIN ABOUT THE TAURUS, I WILL REACH THROUGH YOUR COMPUTER AND TEAR YOUR HEAD OFF!

CLEAR NOW?

close the thread.


umm, i can actually relate to what this poor kid is saying.

remember years back my parents were thinking of buying a car, they asked me what i think and this and that. but they end up getting a car that i didn't really like. but i always knew that i'm not paying for it, so my opinion wouldn't matter that much, (now that i'm paying for it, it still doesnt matter that much :D).

but i don't remember asking all my friends and posting on an international forum for people (who i may not even know) to give me opinions on cars my parents may get, when i know that my opinion doesn't matter that much.

[Mustang]

yeah, me and my Parents are considering buying a Ford Taurus, because A) a Ford Dealer is offering a screaming good deal, and b) we thought it would be cheaper to buy a new car than to keep putting money into the lemon van to keep it operatible, we don't know if we will buy one, but we are looking at buying it.


exactly how much money are you putting towards it then ?

[clutch-monkey]

prius, i don't know what kind of relationship you have with your parents, but if mine were buyig a car and i told them there were far better deals then they'd change their mind.

I was expecting to be congratulated on the purchase, not being told about my opinion is shit and how there are so many better cars.

[GT F1]

Congratulations, on your new Taurus!!:)


Though, there were better choices.

[Esperante]

I was expecting to be congratulated on the purchase, not being told about my opinion is shit and how there are so many better cars.
Chill out. The only reason why we're saying 'your opinion is shit' is because not only are you often ignorant, but simply plain out abnoxious and whiny. Like what you just said.


'Congratulations on the new car.' :rolleyes:

[clutch-monkey]

I was expecting to be congratulated on the purchase, not being told about my opinion is shit and how there are so many better cars.
you were told there were so many better cars out there to help you get a better deal. you just took that as if we were paying you out and devolved into a whiny little bitch throwing everyones advice back in their faces.

[F1_Master]

hehe i'm sure your VR-4 will enjoy the fresh air of my exhaust :D, proboblly not, depending on how well tuned that thing is, VR4 is such a great car, just bit too heavy :(
I do plan to tune it, I just can't find any well-known tuners for it.

But I know for sure my Acura could have given you a great run. However, you'll have to talk to my neighbor about that now.;)

wouldn't be suprised. which Acura NSX? i'm kind of bored with this one now, can't wait till mid 2006 for delivery my bachetta missle :D

[KELSA]

i'm sorry dude, i honestly don't see why should we congratulate you on the purchase. i just don't see why it is nessasary.

not bagging your car or anything. what car you may have or already have is totally your business, none of ours. but if you willing to put your opinion of the car choice on a test by posting it on an international forum, then prepare to cop people's unpleasent opinions.

sorry guys, but the kid has to learn this sooner or later, in reality, not everyone have nice things to say about you.

[Prius]

well, still, we want a warrenty, my dad said himself that if he can't get a warrenty, he will not buy it, and it has to be new, or a used 2005.

so CT's cars wouldn't pass my dad's standards.

my dad is considering a Marauder, NOOOOOOOO, please don't start bombarding me with suggestions :p

[Esperante]

Prius, you killed it. Now I have to talk shaded.

And I thought your family would ONLY buy a the Taurus? You yelled so many times that the Taurus was your only uption.

[Prius]

we had a long talk, and we decieded that we will wait until next april, when we will get our income tax return, and we will use that on a down payment for finacing teh new car, and this year, we will use our income tax and our check from teh company becasue my dad was injured on teh job to knock out small bills so it will be less stressful for us to make payments on the car.


now, all suggestions are welcome.

[Matt]

Suggestion: Buy a Camry so we no longer have to listen to you whine about things breaking on your family's car.

[johnnynumfiv]

Stop talking like you are helping to pay for the car.

[Rockefella]

Like esperante said before, I thought your parents were settled on the Taurus, now they're considering a Marauder, because you obviously went on and on about how 'great of a car it is.' You must be schizophrenic or something.

Buy a Toyota Camry, a la Matt, or a Hyundai Sonata.

[Prius]

well, my dad is still considering it, but we know we won't be getting it right now.

my dad won't buy a Camry, claiming that "it feels like you are in a tin can" or whetever.

but a Avalon might me nice.

or maybe a Honda, Hondas last forever.

but a Sonata will be nice, since recent serveys put Hyundai neck and neck with Honda in reliability.


my dad though will really like a Amanti.

[Prius]

becasue back then, we had our heart set on a Taurus, now we just....



forget it, i'm not getting into this mess with you all over again.

if it doesn't have teh factory warrenty remaining, we aren't buying, so a G20 is still out.

[GT F1]

get a camry or sonata. And off topic: could you please change your avatar, that guy's face is getting annoying. And your using "teh" again.;)

[baddabang]

Why not get a Pirus? Help the enviornment :p

[Prius]

nice, nice, would perfer something else, dad would never buy one if his life depended on it, little weary considering consumer reports gave it a below average reliability rating, nice, but don't really know....

Do you lay the foundation of your life on the standards of Consumer Reports? Seems to me that every decision you make is based on their reviews... which ISN'T necessarily a bad thing but a bit obsessive.

[Prius]

it's not the drivetrain, but just electronic neusences that gave just about every european car a low rating.

[CHEESE-TACULAR]

so shoot them for pioneering into new technologies-its all covered by warranty anyway:)

[Prius]

yeah, but what about when the warrenty expires? AFter all teh troubles with the Lemon Caravan, we want a reliable car, that's why my mom wants a Hyundai or a Honda.

EDIT:also, what gets me is that japan makes cars with about teh smae technology, and they are trouble free

i thought your mom wanted a taurus:p prius, when buying a car its best to approach all angles more or less evenly-you seem to judge cars bassed sollely on infrence and consumer reports. the test drive visit to the dealership is very important. volkswagen has consistenly placed high as far as quality according to JD power & associates, as a matter of fact, its up there with nissan as the 2 manufacturers most offten selected by JD. i tell you that because quality seems to be the most important factor to you:)

dont get so uptight pruis, we are only trying to help!

Car compaines pour so much money into consumer reporters so i'd take them with a grain of salt

Consumer reports is government sponsored and nonprofit. They do not rum ads or anything so they can give a unbiased openion.

and why not buy a skoda octavia VRS ? there great cars

At leats you got what you wanted prius... some attention.

[spi-ti-tout]

Well sorry to say but it seems like your dad is a bit closed-minded then. I'm sure that must have crossed a lot of members minds here because Toyota have one of the highest quality ratings anywhere and it's not like a Camry is from Malaysia or something. Preference is better than ignorance. I've sat in a Camry and it's a bit more than what I can say about a lot of American cars. TRY IT OUT.
