1989 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"Horrible looking, Horribly Designed Nightmare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In Order:
1. After I bought the car, the exhaust system needed to be replaced.
2. The transmission went out.
3. Gas tank started to leak.
4. Rust consumed the car's body.
5. The brakes system needed to be replaced.
6. Many other repairs. Including the car overheats during summer, which is why I was glad I sold the car this spring.
General comments?
I got this car my senior year in High School. The car lasted through my final year in college. When I bought it, it had very little rust. However, now rust has almost consumed the whole entire car.
I bought the car for $2,600. However, I spent much more money fixing the car up. It was a mechanical nightmare. On top of that the performance was horrible. The car couldn't even accelerate. I sold the car for $850. It just wasn't a good car. Plus, it just doesn't look very good. The newer mustangs look much better.
