1997 Mercury Mystique GS review from North America

"Voodoo'ed Mystake"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Blew engine first day (not my fault screwed up crank bearing)

Blew tranny out the first day after engine got repaired (kinda my fault after putting the new engin in forgot to put trans fluid back in the tranny OOPS)

ALL WIRES ARE DRY ROTTED TO HELL.

General comments?

I bought the MYSTAKE back in March of 2007, lo and behold no less that 14 hours later I had the engine torn out of the car... three months later when I finally have the money to buy a new engine I install... about a week later the engine is in... BAM trans locked up on me in front of a State Trooper... he asks if I had a car problem... I respond, "nope, I just slam on my brakes at random intervals"...about another month later I have bought the BRAND NEW TRANS. from some company in Florida... I put the damn thing in and the car won't start... the MORONS that sent me the transmission didn't install a properly working Neutral switch... so needless to say I got my money back, but I still have the trans... put a new switch on fires right up.

Car is running great for a couple weeks... then comes DOOMS DAY Oct. 16, 2007...I'm sitting in traffic and along comes a Ford F-250 with a damn ranch-hand bumper on it plows the hell out of my car... TOTALLED it is still my daily drive, but now I have no trunk space...it's a compact car.
