When I got it, the front lock motors were bad, $8 total.
The alternator went, $120.
The car rode like a dream.
The car was awful in winter, I slid into a bank. I also slid through a ditch, hit a small fruit tree, and came within 2 feet of hitting a huge oak tree.
The car had power.
The only reason I bought a Ford was because my Eagle's engine was going to blow (which I didn't tell the dealer).
These are great cars. Very simple, reliable, and well-built. I've wrecked 2 of them and came out just fine. Both times the cars still ran and made it to the scrap yard without the aid of a tow truck. If that's the actual mileage your car should last you a lonnng time if you maintain it right.
