Should I buy?

Question

I presently drive a 89 tempo 4dr. I recently spent 800 to fix fuel pump and starter and two weeks later the car wouldn't start. works okay now but am taking it back to my garage this week to check it out. the car's a/c does not work (had to replace it last year -used part from wrecker and I think would be too expensive to get the a/c working again) The power locks on the front passenger door do not work anymore. My widows are manual roll down

The other day i was looking around at used car lots. I found a nice 87 tempo 4 dr(2yrs older than the one I drive).. This car looks in great shape. It has a/c, pl, pw, etc. The milage is quite low at 130,000 (which is around 100,000 lower than the one I drive now) - was owned by an older couple

Can't say I am a big ford fan, but I've had not a bad experiece with my tempo - faily reliable car.

thanks

Answer 1

BUY A TOYATA FOR 5 GRANDS WILL WORK WONDERS.

Answer 2

Try to look for a newer car in good shape. Don't care very much about the make and origin as used cars depends on the former owner's driving style.
If you go with the tempo, get it really, really cheap, if not, save some money and get a newer car.

Answer 3

the toyota advice is great... leave down the patriotism a bit & think efficiently...

japanese cars (especially +90s models) are easy to find & costs not that much & as said before, makes wonders (if u keep it in shape)...

think twice before you decide honey... Toyota over comed Ford not just long ago!

Answer 4

Before you make you decision to buy the car or not ...I would go back to the junk yard and write down the VIN number on the car and have somebody run it for u to make sure this car has not been in a serious accident....

U can try the department of transport in your city, or u can try

Good luck!!!!
