1994 Ford Probe GT review from North America
"Ford Probe, the fastest little stang you'll ever drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I originally bought the car from a small dealer. The paint was crap so I had him repaint it before he sold it to me. As soon as I drove it home the oxygen sensors were already shot, $160.
3 months later I replaced 4 rotors, 4 pads and 4 calipers. I had it done at Midas so I have a lifetime warranty on them. Total cost $1000.
Then a new exhaust at 68,000 miles, $300.
Plug wires and new plugs at 70,000 miles. Total cost $150.
Then the distributor went out at 78,000 miles.
New ignitor switch, $400.
I then just recently had to replace a back caliper again. No charge due to the lifetime warranty.
General comments?
This car looks and performs awesome! But it all comes at a pretty penny.
I have a feeling that the A/C and power steering will go out on it too, but I love this car too much.
Once the repairs stop occurring I plan on supercharging the Mustang's little brother and showing up someone with their Camaro.
