1989 Merkur Scorpio review from North America
"These cars are no-longer in production so parts can be a problem, see www.merkurencyclopedia.com"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission rebuild at 147,000.
General comments?
Steering feels like a big German car, firm and direct. Suspension is a mix of German precision and American comfort. A true long distance cruiser!
