"Best buy I've ever had with a car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The transmission blew and was rebuilt. Haven't had to fix anything else major that I know about.

Driver's seat is pretty torn up.

There was no belts for the A/C or smog pump and I don't know if they work.

Has went into vapor lock once and hasn't done it again, at least yet.

Kind of pulls to one side, I believe from being in some type of accident, but the engine still runs great.

General comments?

This has been a great car, it's my first, but it has done great and has only left me in despair twice.

Extremely reliable. Only cost $300 too, plus the rebuilt transmission.

I'm not sure on the miles because the dial only has 5 digits and shows around 65000, but I figure it's 165,000 because of how nice the engine still runs.

No.. it pulls to one side because the idiot mechanic who aligned it last didn't know what he was doing.. Go to a very reputable service shop, or to Ford and have it done there.. You are probably getting some nasty tire wear on one of your front tires, too, I would immagine. Hardly any mechanics know how to align these cars right.
