I think it was more the price that inspired her interest. She has $3,000 to spend right now and I can't contribute until I get the house sold. Of course, she wants a car NOW. So......yeah.
A quick search on Craigslist shows a lot of late 90's Hondas in the 2500-3500 range. I encourage her to get a Honda or Toyota instead of a Taurus. They last forever and rarely break down. I put over 200,000 on my 1992 Honda. I would have put another 100k miles on it, but I wanted more space for the dogs so I got the Forester.
I second javachik's suggestion of a Honda or a Toyota instead of a Taurus.
Thirded.
Also, the hair looks
great,
Tep! Truly makes you glow. Well...the hair and The Boy, I guess.
If she has the Taurus vetted, though, I wouldn't discount it out of hand. We had one last over 120,000 miles with no problems (until the very end).
My last three vehicles have been Toyotas and I have loved each one (well, not STBX's Tacoma, but still a good vehicle).

But are they cute? (said in a 18 year old whine).
She thinks a Taurus is cute?
What planet is she from?
I have two friends who just had Toyota Camry's die on them, after over 200,000 miles.
The only thing cute about that Taurus was the price.
She just came down saying she found a couple of vw's in her range, but the mileage wasn't listed on either.
Our Corolla is at 198K -- we're hoping to get to 210 or so, but that's after we did some fairly serious engine damage a coupla years back...
my Cabriolet is pushing 200,000 miles but there's not enough space here for me to list all her little issues.
