1990 Ford Tempo Not sure review from North America
"Not bad for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The O2 sensor needs to be replaced. But considering the age of the car, not really surprising.
Needs to be aligned.
Heater/AC does not work. Who ever had this car before me, bypassed the heater core. We aren't sure why they did this.
Interior is pretty nice.
General comments?
We bought this car for $500.
My husband said he would never have a Ford in his driveway. We needed a car quickly after my Grand Am died.
Any motor-heads out there who knows about the heating/AC system on this type car, please comment.
