You have taste! The XR3i Rocks! I had one and we (my girlfriend and friends) had so much fun in it! It took us all over the country, and even a 4 week road trip over Europe a few years ago. I hope you find a good one. Make sure you get a mechanic to look over one before you buy one though. A lot, as you may have gathered, have been owned by idiots that rag the hell out of them so there's nothing left but a ton of metal and bills. Get a good one, and you're laughing! Good luck, and enjoy!

There are no decent Ford Escorts out there. I had one and it kept breaking down on me. I finally got tired of putting money into the car that I bought a brand new one. To PhoenixRights I did not run my car into the ground. I drove my escort to and from work and that was it. I had 6 things go wrong with the escort in a 3 month time period. I would try buying a Dodge or Chevy. These cars are very good and will last a long time.

ummm, autotrader will throw up the most unabused examples, ebay may provide a gem, thing is the '3i has been out of production since 1993 so your gonna have to search, i'd personally buy on body condition as opposed to engine as a cvh/zetec is easily replacd while a rotting chassis is not.
my choice would be a 1989-1990 mk4 efi (90 spec) better engine than the earlier mechanical injection models.
or failing that a mk5 1.8 zetec (130 bhp version)
keep looking, i found a '90 xr2i on ebay last year, had done just 35k and was mint. well worth the money.

look in the newspaper, get someone who knows about cars to go and check the car out with you, did you know you can pay a member of the aa to go with you and check the car over for a small fee
