1989 Merkur XR4Ti from North America - Comments

"A lot cheaper than a BMW M3, from the same year, with similar performance"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Replaced the radiator (it still leaks!).

Hoses, ball joints, control arm bushings.

Rotors warp continuously (common Ford problem).

Tail light gaskets leak and short out brake lights. (common problem for this car).

General comments?

The car is very quick, good acceleration.

I have owned 3 of them, and love them to death.

It is better to buy one that has been well maintained than to buy a "fixer upper" (I know from experience).

Not a comment, but a question, how did you stop the leaks? Please e-mail me, Chris at chriskellyfamily@attbi.com.
