1991 Ford Probe LX 2dr Hatchback
The V6 LX 1991 was a good find. The
depreciation of the value made it more
worthwhile to look at. I don't think you
can get a car at this price and the kind
of performance it still offers. 18/20
MPG in city driving is quite economical.
I had only some heating problem due to
some radiator damage. Can't blame Ford
for anything. Keep in mind though, the
Automatic might not last … beyond 130K.
Factor in that cost and you are set for
a 200 K V6 car that still looks great.

1990 Ford Probe LX 2dr Hatchback
I put 264,000 miles on car, It still ran great and got 25 mpg before the salt took its toll on the body. I spent less than a $800 in 19 years on mechanical repairs. under the hood the only problem was the radiator, it cracked at 70,000 miles. If you have a hard time with finding some parts, cross ref. it with mazda mx6. It was very reliable and easy to repair (the few time it was needed. … (you must keep front tires balanced, saves on front wheel bearings)

Relentlessly Reliable

1990 Ford Probe GL 2dr Hatchback
225,000 and still going. One owner.
Has its wear and tear, but the Mazda
made engine is relentlessly rugged.
The Ford body and interior and
electrical had some issues. But this
car has gone far beyond the call of
duty. I may be donating it within a
week or two....looking at the used mid
to upper end market now....maybe
something with a Mazda engine.
