I had dumped literally thousands into it. Alternator, both exhaust manifolds, all 4 trailing arms and she developed a rod knock. Among the other things like the windows not always working, failing window motors, tachometer stuck at 2500 rpm, radio not working, etc.
When I traded it into Ford for 500 bucks (yes I know it was a bad deal but I honestly got a great deal on my new car so the loss was offset)
I was tired of having to fix something new on the 1997 what seemed to be every other day it seemed. Sure older vehicles will need more attention but damn. Not like this truck did. My 2000 mustang GT went over a year before I needed to fix a single thing. But maybe I just had bad luck.
Anyway I got a brand new fiesta SFE. It's fun as hell and I am averaging over 42 mpg! 5 speed manual of course. Also not having to worry about a single repair for 3 years and no power train repairs for 5 is amazing. Only paid 14,000 out the door after all expenses, taxes, etc, with 40 miles on it. It was a 2015 and the 2017s are about to come out so they wanted it gone.
I'll .is you all and I wish you luck! You are all great people, except stamp, you are kind of a jerk but i still respect you lol.
Anyway I know many of you don't know me and don't particularly care but I felt like I should say goodbye and explain my reason for leaving. Catch you on the fiesta forums!
