Sounds like thermostat is not opening and needs replacing
The Taurus / Sable design radically changed in 1996 making the windshields, and probably all window & body parts incompatible.
it could be the thermostat needs to be changed or the heater core needs to be flushed out.these would be the cheaper things to try first.

why is my '99 ford taurus making a knock noise and smoking from under the radator
The 1996-1998, and much of the 1999 model Taurus & Sables are virtual twins of each other - making the parts highly interchangeable.
It all depends on the overall condition of the particular Taurus. How many miles does it have on it? when was the last time the transmission was flushed? I know things are tight nowadays, but I would definitely look into getting as much information about the car before making a purchase. If the transmission goes bad, the car is toast. usually one would pay about $1,500-$2,500 for a good used 1998 or similar Taurus in good running condition. Any car priced at $500 is gonna have its problems.
they have changed by making them more usefull.
Low transmission fluid or a bearing is going out.
