I paid $5000 for this car in 1998 and it does not owe me a dime now. I intend to keep it until it decintigrates. Has 152k miles on it now and still looks, runs, and drives excellent - and this is in Buffalo, NY which is quite hard on cars. With regular maintenance these big Fords last and last.
I always look forward to driving this car even if just around the corner to the store. By far the best of the 10 cars I have owned in my life thus far.
OK I got a 1990 mercury marquis too and I'm not kidding it has exactly 152 k miles on it to and I'm north of Pittsburg, PA (1 hour away),and it's in brand new condition the only thing I might need to do is put a new distributer cap on it. It still runs excelent and I have no complaints I really have no complaints about ford I've always had luck with my fords and I will always drive ford!
