Ford Probe Usados en Venta

This car was built to last. When I had purchased the vehicle at 168,000 miles it was still running with all of the factory parts with the exception of the hatch struts. The car had lasted me to around 175,000 miles before it blew the head gasket due to poor maintenance by the previous owners. The handling is superb even with the original struts at 189,000 miles. It has been able to take any curves at speed limit and slightly above without any issues. The main problems that I have experienced with it are that the hatch tends to make noises when driving on a bumpy road and sometimes you hear odd noises from the engine bay.

The 1989 Ford Probe has a Mazda 4 cylinder engine and a 5 speed manual transmission. The car got excellent gas mileage, has a moderate amount of power, and was fun to drive with the stick shift. Driving the car was incredibly forgiving to anyone just learning how to drive stick shift. The downside to the car was finding parts to keep it going as this was not a very popular car to begin with.

I really liked the look and feel of the car. It was affordable and comfortable. It was stylish and had enough get up and go to please me. It had a lot of internal functions which made it fun to drive on trips and to work. I did have problems with the brakes and the dealership told me it was the way I drove. I was having to use the emergency brake to stop all the time. After three months of arguing with the dealership, it was found the brake shoes originally installed were the wrong ones. Also, I was having a problem with it stalling. The dealership charged me 1,500 to fix something, yet the problem persisted. In the end, they told me there was a fix. There were two possible problems and if I paid 1,500 for each problem (3,000) that would definitely solve the problem.
