My 96 Ford Taurus has a slew of problems, no reverse, won't park, leaking coolant, leaking oil.
I have a 96 Ford Taurus. I really have no money, I take that back..I have enough to eat,
get to work, and pay my bills, barely.
I bought my car for 600 bucks from a relative it only has 135k miles or so but here are
the issues;
The car will not go into reverse & it won't stay in park..we have to park at the end of
every parking lot to ensure we won't get stuck pushing it & we have to apply the
emergency brake just to keep the car from moving. It's pretty much constantly in
neutral, but still drives.
It is leaking antifreeze outrageously fast, sitting the the parking lot for 10 minutes
created a puddle of antifreeze a foot or two in diameter (we had just put the anti freeze
in) We just recently spotted the leak, pretty sure it's on the radiator itself.
There is an oil leak, have no clue where..but we put in a quart every 2 weeks.
Basically, it's a hot mess & I have no way of knowing if I'm getting screwed if I take it to
a car shop..I can't afford to fix what's actually wrong at the moment, so I for sure can't
afford to be dicked around (excuse my french) Is my car better off as scrap metal & I
should drive it until it blows up? Or do I need to bother to try and fix it?
