No, actually I don't. The car had the best maintenance I could provide for most of the 100K.
Damage is done in 35k miles. Get real.

This is not the only ford experience I have had. I have many friends that own/owned fords over the years. I can say they seem to have more issues than competitor brands
Or that's just how you choose to remember it based on your experience with your gf.
I don't believe for a second you changed an engine yourself. You don't seem to have the right knowledge for such a thing.

did anyone mention a year model?
Don't need to. The new engines are too new to make the claim you did and the 7.3 is too old. So you either don't know about the terribleness of the 6.0 and 6.3, or you just don't know anything.

Don't believe it if you don't want... but I assure you I did.
I have done most all of my own work on every vehicle I have owned, and my sisters and mother have owned for the last 15 yrs.

What is your monthly note?
Posted on 1/13/15 at 1:37 pm to TommyCheeseballs
Donate it. Write off as a loss on income tax return.

Trade it in on a new/used car, finance it and roll over balance into your new note. You will be upside down as a mf'er in the new loan,
Sounds like he already did that.

I was planning on paying it off and then driving it for awhile after that. Like I said the engine blowing after 95K miles doesn't seem normal.

No, it's sitting at the garage and I'm currently without a car.

I paid 10K for it. Like I said, relatively low mileage. Yeah I probably overpaid but hardly the worst deal anyone's ever gotten on a car

For a little shite car, 95K is about right for it to blow.
Those cars are 100K made. After that, good for scrap yard only. Why people think they have something good when they only pay 10-15K new?

You would find it amazing that I drive an 03 F150 with 176k miles and the only thing I have done is change the battery. No diesel either.
Posted on 1/13/15 at 1:45 pm to TommyCheeseballs
do you have full coverage?
If yes, I have an idea, but it's left of legal.

I meant the 60 odd K that were on it when I bought it.

Silly statement. There are Civics and Elantras that cost 15k new that have 250k on the original engine and then there are BMWs that cost 80k that crapped out at 80,000 miles.

there is a Junk Yard in Gulfport that has a great selection of transmissions and motors. I doubt you pay over $1k for one there.

Should of stated American made 100K throw away cars. Posted on 1/13/15 at 1:50 pm to fishfighter
