Great until it blew

I bought this car with 90,000 on the clock. It performs well and the 5 speed/6cyl combo is nice. The radio commited suicide, but it wasn't that good anyway. The real problem was the engine lost oil pressure and blew up 3 months after I bought it and it was inspected before I bought it. I found an engine with 27,000 and it has done well since then. The engine and install were close to what I paid for the car to begin with but still is a good commuter car and would be hard to replace even with the added expense. Ford needs to concentrate on building cars that will go 200,000 miles. The engine/trans sits on an easy to remove sub assembly, my main gripe is parts are expensive.

One owner car. Low mileage well taken care of over the years. Just spent about $800.00 in repairs. Runs good and looks good.

We've owned this car 8 years now and the body is sound. There is no air leakes, no water leaks. We had just one non- maintance repair so far and that was a minor one. I would recommend this car as a good used car for anyone!

this is my "college car". i got a really good price on it, but have spent vast amounts on repairs. last summer it spent more time on a trailer or towtruck than under its own power. manual transmissions on these can be interesting, as almost all of them from what i have heard have the 1-2 or 2-3 grind at times, or a combination. also, gearbox is like peanut butter below F 20 degrees. on the other hand, my friend has the same car with 160,000+ miles and no problems.
