1988 Ford Escort review from North America
"Worthless!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine blew.
Throttle body.
Brakes.
Heater core.
Radiator leak.
Oil leak.
Axle.
2 starters, and probably several other things I can't remember.
General comments?
I paid $2,000 for this car. Over the course of the 7 months I owned it I spent close to $3,000 repairing it. It literally broke down every week.
