Harmonic Balancer Replacement ($125)
Bad wiring problem (Wiper Switch doesn't illuminate at night)
New Water Pump Replacement.
These are reliable cars for the long run they serve to the owner. I've had mine over a year, and nothing major has happened yet with my Tempo. Love the Metallic Green paint job, and the A/C still works great for Summer driving. If you can find one with low miles for a reasonable price you have no reason to turn it down. These cars are underrated, and get bad reps from people that don't even know what they are talking about. The car isn't a hot rod, but it has enough speed to get you anywhere. What more can you ask?
I am going to look at a 94 tempo tomorrow. I hope it's automatic. $1400 and only 169,000klms...
Good for you!!! Just budget a few hundred for repairs to bring it up to par. Weak areas are the front end, valve cover gasket and the harmonic balancer. A great car that never quits!!!
