My 95 v6 5spd...still has under 50,000 on the closck..runs fantastic. but had all the recalls done..the only thing ford ever did good for me. I replaced the rear bumper with a 98 and up to get rid of the dhrome strip and then shaved the front strip and put on a chin spoiler. talk about a cheap svt look! I originally paid $2000..ebachs and konis, focus 16's and all body and paint myself..still inder $3500.I never knew anyone in this area suffering frmo a dash warp problem..must be warmer climates. Avoid a 97 tho. an no automatics.. 97's have had many more problems and it seems all autos for some reason have had to have a tranny put in them..sounds like the old taurus problems shining through on that.
