Buying a used car? Getting a used car history report is one of the most important steps you can take to protect yourself. Why? Because it is the only way to find out the full history of the vehicle. A used car history report includes any serious problems that might NOT be evident upon test-driving or even inspecting the car. Don't be taken, you need a vehicle history report, before you buy. If you want to be absolutely sure that the vehicle you are thinking of buying is actually a bargain you should consider getting a car history check. A data check can reveal an awful lot about the background of the used car and it can be made easily and quickly online. It isn't expensive and in the long run can save you not only money but gives you peace of mind.

Boring but competent
Ford Taurus -- 2005 Review: Twenty years ago, Michael J. Fox and a pimped DeLorean struck box-office gold with "Back to the Future," a fantasy film about a 1980s kid who goes back in time to the 1950s, tickling that "what-if" itch we all want to scratch. By divine coincidence, the 1986 Ford Taurus arrived shortly thereafter, capitalizing on societal interest in time travel. A radically styled family car that looked like it had come from the future, that first Taurus redefined what the midsize sedan should be. Fast-forward to the future, circa 2006, and after a two-decade run that included at least one "best-selling car in America" title, the Ford Taurus meets the executioner. Consumer interest in this bread-and-butter sedan dropped off a cliff when the bulbous, fish-faced 1996 model debuted, and with buyers converting to the religions of Honda, Nissan and Toyota by the hundreds of thousands, the Taurus hasn't stood a chance since President Clinton was turning the Oval Office into the No-Tell Motel. Despite huge cash-back incentives to both buyers and dealers, the Ford Taurus usually lands in American driveways only when out-of-town relatives visit with a rental or when salespeople get a free company car. But is this fleet-special status justified? Is the Taurus a victim of bad press, poor design, or both? We rented one to find out, and as it turns out, it's mostly bad press.
