Just bought a 2006 Taurus off of eBay and I go to pick it up on Saturday. It has the Vulcan 3.0L, AX4N transmission and 104k miles. Other than normal items (fluids, brakes, tires, etc., which the dealer claims to have already checked out) what other issues should I be looking for? I am not afraid to walk away if I find something is out of the ordinary and I want this car to be solid enough to give me good service for another 75k miles.
Mainly, what are some common issues with this MY/generation of Taurus that can end up being a major repair? I DIY most of my stuff short of tranmission/engine replacement.
I currently have a '95 Sable with 204k and the drivetrain is still solid...replacing due to rust now.
Thanks for the help!
