1986 Mercury Lynx XR3 review from North America
"Does the job"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump went.
Fuel pump went.
New ignition system.
Transmission is going.
General comments?
It's not a bad little car. It looks pretty good for a 15 year old econobox sport model. I like it, but the mileage is getting super high, and it's probably time for something newer.
I've got a lot of use out of this $1000 purchase, so I can't say anything bad. It's let me down a couple times, but repairs were never hard or complex.
