How many miles a 3.0 engine in a '95 Ford Taurus should last?
I've got nearly 193,000 on it now. Have been good about oil changes and most mechanical work although a few years ago I drove it for several weeks with a broken catalytic converter.
Tranny will go out before the 3.0 Vulcan engine.
I got 220,000 miles out of my first one, then 125,000 before the tranny blew on my second one.
The transmission usually dies before the engine, so you have done well, grasshopper. But, as a rear-drive car, the engine is fairly easy to replace.
Even if the engine is ok the transmission suspension steering axles and brakes are nearly worn out. Walk away.

- How many miles will my truck last me? 1998 Ford ranger xlt 3.0 v6 she's running strong flushed radiator but when it's in park sometimes it shakes. Could that be a muffler? Not really an issue. Just wondering how many miles I can get out of her before I need to start worrying. It's at 159k.
- How many miles is too many? - 2012 Ford Fusion? I have a couple of questions for you guys… I found a 2012 Ford Fusion SEL that I like. The problem is it has a LOT of miles for a 2012, 97k to be exact. Is this something a car buying should stay away from? My other question is how well do 2012 Ford Fusions hold up? How many miles can it be expected to last if it has been taken care of? I'm looking for a used car 2009-current for around or under 13k. Have suggestions? Feel free to let me know!
- I have a 2008 Ford Focus, how many more years should it last providing that I keep taking care of it? My Ford Focus was semi expensive, but I bought it because I read that they tend to last longer and keep people safe. Henry Ford makes great cars! But, I still have a year left on my car loan so.I'm wondering how many more years it has on in it's lifetime. ***Henry Ford *made great cars (typo)
