My son gets his wheels in about 30 days. The good news is he offered to take my 95 Escort, bad news is I needed to find a new set of go to work wheels. In keeping in mind I want to aquire a project Cougar, I didnt want to spend alot for a work car but didnt want to end up with a unrelialbe piece of junk either.
I ended up picking up a one owner 95 Merc Tracer 4 dr 5 spd. 51k actuall miles with 4 BRAND new tires and front brakes. Body has a couple minor scratches but no rust. Runs and drives like a new one and had the owners maint records available. Gave 2k for it out the door taxes included. I havent paid too much attention to used car prices but I dont think that it was too bad a deal?? I drive alot of miles to work so the fuel economy will be needed. And with 5 vehicles to insure now you cant get one much cheaper to insure.
At least the wife cant say much if I come across another Cougar as I didnt spend much on the work car. Whatta you think? mm
