Re: Thinking of buying a 1999 Taurus SE.

I bought a 99 with 65,000 miles and six months later the transmission went out. The guy at the transmission shop did say it was an unusual failure for this transmission. Something about a weld breaking on the sun gear, which then broke off and got crushed into pieces. I have had numerous other smaller problems with the car - leak in the A/C system, malfunctioning damper in the heating system, etc.
