174,000 miles on clock. $8500 OBO. This is a very well kept and pampered car....not perfect but for being driven almost daily for 17 years it is in excellent condition.
Hit a deer (very slightly) in June 2021. Since hitting the deer, I have had the following done:
Installed a New front bumper (aftermarket) - painted.
From TASCA Ford; new FORD fog lamps and brackets, new FORD floor mats MARAUDER, new Ford factory steering wheel, I sourced 4 slightly used FoMoCo headlamps and sidemarkers (Mercury Logo) for front of car from one of our MMnet members (Thanks Chris!). New factory cigar lighter, new HVAC Control Module, new Ford keyless entry pad, the windshield had several chips - so the windshield was replaced with a new one, new Ford hood props.
The above was completed first week of July, 2021.
Car runs excellent - Runs like a bone stock Marauder with K&N CAI.
At 170,000 miles I replaced the entire rack and pinion, flushed tranny and new filter, flushed coolant, oil change (Always use Mobil1 5W20 and Motorcraft filters).
156,000 miles : Upper and lower ball joints replaced with only MOOG parts, new tires. Tires have about 35-40% wear remaining.
This car has been driven easy and garaged since I purchased it in 2013 with 81,000 miles on odometer. Most miles are interstate miles between Tennessee and West Virginia.
Interior is a 9.5/10. I installed new steering wheel, cigar lighter, floor mats (YES NEW FORD FACTORY MATS) removed from box and installed. Driver's seat shows wear on left side of seat - charcoal color wearing off. No tears in seats. Back seat area looks as if nobody has ever sat in it. This is a clean rust free southern vehicle that has never seen salt.
Exterior shines and presents well for 17 years old. The front end looks nicer since new bumper was painted - rear half of car shows light but standard wear on paint, slight scratches etc. Usual Timing chain tensioner noise at cold start - common with every Romeo SOHC or DOHC engine Ford ever built.
