1988 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"Most reliable easy fix I will ever own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator.
Battery (but expected after 9 years of use)
Brake Pads.
Ashtray Door.
Loud Fuel Pump. Sounds like a leaf blower!
General comments?
Although this is only a 4cycl. engine, I love this car. I now want a 5.0 (for the speed). This has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. The only bad thing to note about this car is that it is held together inside of the car by nothing more than screws and a few bolts.
