1989 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"Still a great bang for the buck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought the car new in 1989 for 17,000 CAN, since then:
Engine went on me once with 38000 kilometers, dealer said it was a faulty gasket that caused it, car was still under warranty so that wasn't too bad.
Interior is still in good condition, some wear and tear of course on the seats which I plan on replacing in a few years.
The exterior paint is original and shines like the day I bought it when I wax the car. Never had an accident so the body of this car is a virgin! lol
General comments?
Car had incredible power when I bought it and it still does, mods are still inexpensive compared to modifying a foreign car. Once you tweak the engine a bit and put some gears in, this car becomes a bigger rocket than it already is!
