On a Taurus isn't the antenna in the back? If it is and you can see the 
underside of it in the trunk AND it looks like there is enough room for
the 
"guts" of the new one it would be pretty easy to install(because its right

there in the trunk). You do need a power wire for the thing and wire that 
tells it when your radio is on/or one on a swith so you can raise/lower
it. 
I would try to find a cheap one like online or ebay or something first 
though. What if that $200 one didnt fit? You know? I would think that a 
cheap aftermarket one would come with an assortment of mounting stuff it 
would need for different cars or tell the supplier what car it is so you
can 
get the right one. Also, crutchfield is good about telling you what will
fit 
your car and you can look online or call them.
