I went to lift up the trunk with heavy snow on it by the spoiler. The spoiler completely cracked off. I had to have a new one put on for 380 dollars. Of course it's an older model spoiler and a new one was going to cost me 600 dollars.
I love my car, it's great.
I wish they still made them.
My next car will be a mercury.
I recently bought a beautiful 2002 V6 sport Coug, but was dismayed to later find, with a closer look, a serious crack underneath the spoiler where it attaches to the trunk lid. However, it isn't the car; rather the fault of the previous owner, who OPENED and SHUT the lid by the SPOILER. She should NOT have not shut it that way; YANKING the lid up and SLAMMING it down puts damage on the fin. I got it repaired for only $100 (body shop owner in family), and so far have no other problems with it, no horror stories to tell.
