1999 Ford Taurus Overview

Introduction

The big news for the Taurus this year is that the price has dropped.The base LX is $1000 less than last year, dropping to $17,995.The upscale SE dropped $1080 to $18,995, while the SE wagon is down $1840 to $19,995.And you no longer have to pay for the mandatory emissions equipment, so that's another $170 drop off every window sticker.

Last year, Ford made choosing a Taurus easier by trimming the number of models available to just four: LX, SE, SE Wagon and SHO.
