1995 Ford Taurus

All's well with America's best-selling wagon.

If your family needs run extra large, as in extra large loads and extra large trips, you may have to look beyond sedans. Perhaps, though, you're just not into high-riding, box-shaped transport wagons on a par with today's minivans. They don't perform, you say, and they're not pretty. If that's your problem, let us tell you about the Ford Taurus LX Wagon, the minivan that looks like a car.

Station wagons are a dying breed, there's no doubt about it. The imports make only a few small wagons. Chrysler is completely out of the wagon business.

Some automakers, however, are still in the game. General Motors makes the huge rear-drive Chevrolet Caprice and Buick Roadmaster, and also the Oldsmobile Ciera, Buick Century and Saturn wagon. And the company that first popularized the station wagon - Ford - is carrying on a tradition with the Taurus family of wagons, as well as with the small Escort and Tracer wagons.

A Taurus, or even a Mercury Sable wagon for that matter, could be the perfect answer for a young family that needs space and style. The loaded Taurus LX has plenty of both.

    Car Buying Tips

    What you should know before buying a used car

    - Get a CarFax report for used cars you are interested in buying. Checking these reports will reduce the risk of buying a lemon or being the victim of fraud.
    - Only accept cash or certified checks when selling your car. Taking personal checks for the sale of a car is a bad idea that can lead to unnecessary problems.
    - Establish the price of your used car. Use guides such as KBB.com or NADA to set a reasonable used car price.
    - Have the used car inspected by your mechanic. If you're interested in buying a car, it's a good idea to have a mechanic you trust check the car to make sure it is in the condition advertised.
    - Shop around. The used car market is enormous, with a plethora of used car dealers, certified pre-owned inventory, for-sale-by-owner listings, and more. Compare a number of vehicles to make sure you're buying the right car and getting the best deal.
