Most reliable car I've had
I bought my 97 Tracer in 99 with 17K miles. To date, the only thing I've had to replace was the front driver- side bearing. This has definitely been the most reliable car I've evr owned. I am a Regional Sales Rep in the South- East and even though I am currently at 118K miles, I feel very confident driving up to 4K per month.
Great Ford bargain
I bought this car at a dealer-only auction last fall. I wasn't looking for a sedan, let alone a Ford, but car was in great shape. I placed a low bid on it and won by $50 above the next guy. The automatic transmission does lag a bit and is jerky going into second. The car also makes a strange humming or buzzing sound. But with close to 100k miles, it has held up really well.
