Camry is a far better, dependable, and longer lasting car.

I have a 2000 Ford Taurus Wagon right now. I've had three previous Tauruses and the older ones were better. Ford cut a lot of corners( in a manner of speaking) on the 2000 and later cars and that is disappointing and a shame. I only bought it because I needed a wagon for mountain biking trips. If you don't need a wagon, by all means, get the Toyota Camry. Personnally, my next vehicle (if I can come up with the cash) just may be the Toyota Sienna minivan. Put away the soccer-mom mobile jokes because these minivans are great.

If it were me, I would buy the Ford. It is newer, has less miles on it, is larger and has more room in it. Fords Tauruses do not hold their value that well. Since your car will be 4 years old, it has seen it's maximum depreciation. Toyotas have a better reputation and, as a result, they hold their value better.
If you are concerned about maintenance, consider buying an extended warranty or maintenance insurance on the Taurus. If you are a member of the AAA, you can get an extended warranty there.

I owned a 95 Taurus and was fixing it every other month, something would break. Traded it for a 98 Camry five years ago and the mechanic thought I moved away. Haven't had a lick of trouble from the Toyota.

Go with camry. There a more reliable car and a more reliable company. Ford is going to cost you more because of all the repairs that you will have to have.
