1988 Mercury Tracer Hatchback review from North America
"Love this car, plan to see 500000 miles"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought used, basic wear and tear.
Live in the mountains of western North Carolina.
3rd gear went out at 210000, engine at 280000. Replaced both for 150; labor not included.
General comments?
Very cheap to run.
