I run a Lease Here Pay Here car lot. The import cars are typically more expensive to repair. The Taurus is not a bad car at all. Parts are cheap and yeah, Ford made a ton of them. When Ford announced that they were discontinuing the model for 2005, a lot of fleet companies wanted the car for one more year and Ford built them for 2006 and that model was not available at Ford dealerships.
After 11 years, I have bought 877 vehicles for our business, and I am very picky. We currently have 24 Taurus's in our inventory. Had very bad luck with the 14 Honda's that we bought from model years 2000-2004.
Good luck with your decision. Some of your cars on your list, I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole. I look at everything from an inventory repair perspective. It takes 2 to 3 years for someone to pay off there car. Sometimes we get the cars back, fix the car back up and sell it again.
