I was given this car by elderly woman who bought it new and was single owner. She had all dealer service receipts and original check for $20, 000. that she paid for car. Car had aboutr105K to K125K miles on it when I got it. I based this off of dealer receipts records since odometer broke at 90K. Car had steering wheel electric recall dealer repaired twice but still had problem when I had it. I have a mechanics degree, looked into prob, could tell some of the parts were manufactured poorly causing the issues. Car had electric issues. Car began using massive amount of oil. Tranny went out. Brakes always very soft. Car started having misfire. Headlights always poor. Shocks shot. Vacuum hose went and killed car, I repaired and could see the original design was extremely bad design and caused the breakdown. PROS: ...engine had awesome power, very good gas mileage for full size car and motor, luxury ride interior, quiet inside, power everything, smooth motor and tranny and quiet. I was expecting this low miles dealer serviced one owner luxury full power package car to easily go for another 250K miles singing in the rain, instead I sold it to the scrapyard for $200 while carcould still limp under its own power. Sad day and sad fate for top end expensive model Ford purchased new by school teacher from the worlds oldest Ford dealership (Tenvoorde Ford of St. Cloud Minnesota).
