1990 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"Decent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tail pipe had fallen off before I bought it. Small amount of rust on body. Clear coat came off hood. Engine caught on fire with previous owner, but it was repaired under warranty. Ruined starter due to hard cold starts. Rear differential has slight oil leak. Tail pipe hanger fell out due to frame rot. Although this is the only frame rot present. Emergency brake found broken with last owner. When doing brakes upon buying car found part having to do with emergency brake on one side broken.
General comments?
Decent car. Very comfortable, and decent on gas. Not very good performance. No acceleration or top speed. (tops out about 140kmh). Suspensions pretty bad.
