RE: Do these cars ever stop breaking?
Had mine for over a year and the only problems i have had to fix is the heater core was out already when i bought it and now it seems my T-stat is going... other than that its my DD and no other probs.

I've only had my 93 for about two months now but so far everything has been 100% perfect except for a bad cat. NO idling problems, shaking, vibrations, etc.
SO FAR SO GOOD.....

ALL those issues were there before i even stepped foot into the car.

Well, it is a ford.
I just rolled over 136,000 miles and the only thing I had to do to it in the few months that i've owned it was tighten the starter. Hopefully nothing gets messed up on it because it's my DD.

I just cant afford the gas... even though it gets the same gas mileage or better than my 00 Intrepid I feel like Im wasting alot more cause its a way smaller tank and its loud which makes it seem like Im wasting more also lol haha

mine has not put me without a ride since ive owned it feb 06' i drive it pretty much everyday but it does have a 7200 mile engine also. look at it this way once a part is replaced the car is that much more reliable IMO.

RE: Do these cars ever stop breaking?
^^^^^ Thats exactally how I think of it. If I ever have extra money (which I dont) I just replace stuff even if its not broke. Its basically just waiting to be broke and Ill save myself the agrivation when it does by doing it before lol
