I need something dependable, and if anyone looks at my experience with Ford they could see why I won't buy another.





Amen brother!





what a friggin' stupid comment....if you had soooooo many problems then why did you keep buying fords then...seems kinda stupid to me.....i certainly wouldn't keep buying a brand of car if i kept having major problems with them...

i have owned many fords,and have NEVER had a major problem out of ANY of them...

1st car-1965 mercury comet(mom still has it 170k on it all original still runs great

had many other fords all with zero major problems...

we have several ford econolines at work with over 300k on them....nothing but replacement parts have been changed(like alternators,starters,fuel pump etc.)no major problems out of thm at all....

and i guess owning a toyota for 8 whole months enables you to say they are soooo much more reliable....

and as far as the longest running problem free vehicle the family has ever had was my dads 78 datsun p/u...he drove it til about 170k...my brother drove it til about 250k...sold it to a friend who still has it with over 300k...nothing done except a clutch,and a few minor parts...so if you want something reliable why not a 70's datsun....

new,new ride! '99 svt black/mnb '95 mustang gt sold! '98 svt #800 sold!
