1989 Mercury Tracer GS review from North America

Relay switch replaced.

Inside window roller broke off and got replaced.

Heater core replaced at a very expensive price.

Steering column got loose.

Sunroof gasket rotted out.

Multiple engine gaskets replaced.

Whole exhaust replaced.

Bad fuel injector giving it bad gas mileage but I fixed it because I can't get bad mpg because of gas price issues.

This car needed all these repairs only because of its age. They were cheap to fix because I did it all myself. I only had to pay for parts.

This car never broke down on me and it always starts right up and ready to go.

I love how it handles. The way the Rack and pinion steering was made makes this car real fun to drive.

At 19 years old with 250,000 miles it gets over 35mpg which is just as fascinating as the way outside paint still holds up.

The inside is a little tight along with no cup holders and a very small ashtray which is bad for a heavy smoker like me. It also has way too many inside lights.

Its great that this car has a sunroof but a pain in the butt to deal with and despite of sealing it, it will leak anyway when it rains.

I know from the bottom of my heart that this car will give me another 100,000 miles.

This has been the only vehicle that I ever let anyone else drive without having to remind of any problems.

I'm never going to get rid of this one. If it ever gives me very serious problems then I will just put the money down to fix it. It would probably cost the same as a new car down payment anyway. I don't like the new cars they don't make them as well as they did 20 years ago.
