1991 Ford Tempo 4-door sedan non Turbo review from North America

First off this car is salvage from wreckage.

Front end was affected, but only problems with the front end I had was the alignment and steering knuckles.

Water Pump 130,000 miles.

Catalytic Converter 125,000 miles (just removed).

Oil leak throughout, better in winter. Tried to replace the valve cover gasket since that is where the leak was, didn't work, one of the previous owners attempted to use silcone around the screws.

Starter 3 times about every 7,000 miles, most likely due to oil leaking down into the starter.

Distributor Cap and points 125,000.

Spark Plugs every 7,000 miles, they can be cleaned a couple times before replacing they foul fairly quickly.

Rear driver side window motor went out 121,000.

Starter Solenoid at 130,000 miles.

Entire exhaust system from the hook up to the Catalytic Converter back.

Automatic seat belts never worked.

Water pump at 134,000 miles.

Been a great car overall. Multiple repairs, but overall the cost of parts has only been about $1,500 US dollars. For 3 years of running that is pretty cheap.

Got the car for $400 dollars from an individual.

Be sure to get a starter with a lifetime warranty. It is the part I have had the most problems with.

Good acceleration,great mileage, still getting about 35 miles per gallon highway and about 29 in town.

Comfortable car, doesn't feel like you are boxed in.
