I've had this car for ten years and I'm a sucker for punishment. I've had nothing but problems with this car from the very start. I have had more recalls on it than I can count.
The transmission has gone on it.
I've put in about $1000 into front end work such as wheel bearings, stabilizers and springs.
The O2 sensors have gone twice.
All four tires have had air leaks coming from the rims at one time or an other.
The trunk leaks water and the only lock my key works in is the driver side. All the other ones don't work any more, including the trunk.
There are about ten more things wrong with this car, but that's too much to type.
Bottom line is, DON'T BUY this car unless you have money to throw away.
Unfortunately, I have no extra cash for a car-payment. I bought my Mystique in late 99 and paid on it for 5 years. Hoping that if I took care of it I would have a nice car. Today my RMI Sensor went which controls the throttle. I also have had 2 oxygen sensors replaced. Nonetheless have spent l,800 on air/conditioning repairs and still not fixed. Mercury would never do anything for me. Not one thing. I cry myself to sleep as I have to dish more money out this week. I sometimes can't understand why they wouldn't help me.
I have a 99 it runs great just regular mant. changed trans. but other than that its OK. 4 sale 2,200 909-993-6817...
