My '95 Mystique WP let go at 74,500 miles with my wife 300 miles from home. Local dealer there, Courtesy Ford on E I20 outside Atlanta replaced WP, thermostat, and temp sending unit. Total bill $416.
Coolant had been changed by me at 50K and had no indication failure was imminant. Wife had pulled into a mall parking lot and saw the water vapor. Dealer was literally just across the street. Gauge was in the red.
