They would probably pay back the loan without making a profit for that year. But this football has been fantastic this year and I am going with the Giants without a doubt. The Jets and Titans are putting on a great show, the Bears looking tough, it may be up to Big Ben for the Steelers, the Dolphins look the about the same.., where's all the football in California, the Steelers will kick but against the Chargers this Sunday, the Panthers are wild, but it will be the Giants in the end, you will see. Throw your foreign lemon away..., :lemon:
1992 mazda 2200 b-series questions?
by miket10 on Fri Oct 03 08:15:17 PDT 2008
I bought this truck cause really it was a steal.500.00 with tons of new parts and brand new panther rims with sales reciept(1380.00 not including the new rubber).Theproblem is with the transmission.They replaced the clutch and evidently while doing so they let the gear oil drain and,didn't bother refilling it.Yeah,it only has 5th and a very very weak reverse.What I was wondering is,are their any other trannys that will bolt up to this.The engine is of course 2.2 but,I'm sure if it's a 92 engine cause it is fuel injected and every book I have found says that is impossible,they didn't make them till a year or two later.Even the owners manual shows a carb.And when I pulled the tranny out it did seem to be about an 1-1 1/2 shorther than it should of been.I say this because you can claerly see where the carrier bearing bracket was at one time and thats how far off it is now.So if you can make any sense out of my ramblin can you give me some advise?I would greatly appreciate it.
Resale value...
by grbeck on Thu Sep 25 07:27:35 PDT 2008
...is usually taken as a sign of a car's reliability and desirability. Cars that are wanted when new tend to be wanted when used. And if a car has a good reputation for long-term durability, people will seek it out as a used car. GM cars generally had good resale value in the 1950s and 1960s. Until the early 1970s, a used full-size Chevrolet was worth about $200 more than a comparable full-size Ford. And Cadillacs had the lowest depreciation rate of ANY car sold in America during the 1950s. In the 1960s, VW Beetles matched Cadillacs for depreciation rate, but Cadillacs still held their value best among all domestic cars. The Dodge Dart and Plymouth Valiant/Duster with the slant six and Torqueflite were also sought-after used cars. Today the domestic passenger cars are hammered by a reputation for subpar reliability and too many fleet sales to rental car companies. (Although I don't know if the Crown Victoria is a good example of poor resale value among domestic cars - Ford has not sold the car to retail customers for a few years, and those taxi and police cars that show up on the used car market have been pretty well thrashed. The Ford Panther cars have a very good reputation for durability.) But since this reputation tars some otherwise good cars, there are good values to be had among domestic used cars. This may have changed with the recent run-up in gas prices, but I do know that people did seek out the full-size GM trucks and SUVs on the used vehicle market.

Have you ever heard of the Panther platform that is the basis for all 1980 and forward Ford large sedans. That includes the Towncar, MK VI both 2Dr and 4Dr versions as well as the lesser Crown Vic and Grand Marquis. Weren't the engines, transmissions ,instrument panel and suspensions interchangeable ?. In the 80's the body styles of the Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Towncar were nearly identicle. the only difference being the front and rear of each car. In fact these, models still have the same basic style. And less we forget the MkVII and VIII and the pre fwd drive Continental all based on the Fox platform from the Mustang which received it from the 4 door baby Marquis and its Ford counterpart. At least the MKVIII was modified to handle an irs. What about the Taurus and fwd Continental platforms? Don't forget about the 1976 Versailles that shared the Granada chassis and drive train along with most of its interior. Lincoln has also been guilty of producing the same type of vehicles in the 80's that Cadillac has. In some respects, Lincoln still does.

Edmund's shows a listing for the Grand Marquis and Town Car for 2009, so they're going to be with us for at least another year. They don't show a Crown Vic though. I'm pretty sure it's still available, but only to fleet buyers like police agencies, taxi companies, and rental car companies. I don't know if they're still building it, but there used to be a long wheelbase version of the Crown Vic that was built for taxi service They added about 5-6" of wheelbase to it, all of it in the back seat area. Must have made for a roomy car. Shame it wasn't offered to the general public. There was also a lengthened version of the Town Car, but I don't think they're still building it. The Town Car's extra length was also all in the back seat area. However, I think with the Town Car, they made the B-pillar thicker, but used normal sized window glass for the back doors, whereas the Crown Vic had a normal B-pillar and a longer roll-down rear window. I wonder how long they'll keep these things in production? They're really not that popular with the general public any more, but are still a favorite among taxi drivers and police officers. The FWD competitors just can't take the beating that the Ford Panther body can, and even when the Panthers do break, they're usually not that expensive to fix.

Re: the Panthers...you can save a boatload of cash on the Ranger too, and it will go over curbs. The F150 will go over curbs. And it is at least as quiet and is a lot more rigid than a Grand Marquis' body is. :P There are a lot of reliable used cars you can get for $22K and they won't depreciate as quickly. Everything is trade-offs of course, and the GM will make sense for some buyers. The only people I tend to see in new, civilian ones are old. I'm sure a shiney new one reminds them of the Detroit boats they drove in the 60s, 70s and 80s. They demand nothing of the car beyond that it is big, roomy, has power equipment, and goes from A to B with a floaty ride. They don't even notice that there are comfortable cars to be bought that don't clunk and shudder over road irregularities. Let's not even get started on the interior trim... Anyway, I think the MKS was designed to pick up the slack here. Just as people went to downsized big cars in the 1970s (those "downsized" things seem humongous now), the last of the holdouts will move to Lucerne and Taurus and MKS type cars.
