1988 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"A typical FORD (Found On Road Dead) unless you're lucky"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch (was causing problems with shifting).
Horn.
Speedometer head.
Reading light.
Ashtray cover.
PCV Valve.
All in all, it drinks more oil than the average vehicle at times.
General comments?
During the time I have had this vehicle, I would say that if someone was considering something much like it, that they should do some heavy research into seeing what they are getting themselves into (e.g. past owners, engine wear, interior wear, what will it need, etc.).
