Very Sturdy and reliable
By Amber | on Tuesday, June 11, 2019
Got this car at about 208,000 miles and I am still going strong at 215,000. Make sure to pay attention to your ABS light. Brought mine in and i ended up needing a new master cylinder. Other than that I had to replace one wheel bearing. This car is very reliable when it comes to accidents as well. I had gotten into a pretty bad accident myself in this one and came out unscathed with only some cosmetic damage and a popped tire. The fact that my car is still pushing through at 215k miles truly shows how long this car can last. Keep up with maintenance and it will surely last a long time.… - 5.0
BEST VEHICLE EVER
By Fordman | on Thursday, February 04, 2010
2002 w/145000 mi, purchased new: Still has original spark plugs, shocks, exhaust, ball joints; no wheel alignment, no rust, no accidents. Replaced wheel bearings, A/C condensor, rear springs, and 4X4 shift control module - only major repairs. Replaced brakes 2(or 3) times and rear rotors once and 7 yr old battery; 80000 mi on first tires...still going good on second set. Changing oil every 3000mi, religeously. 15mpg city/20-21mpg hwy. COST to DRIVE: $.237/mi BEST VEHICLE EVER… - 5.0
Great car and value
By JDoug | on Monday, July 30, 2018
This car was purchased by my father, 13 years, ago. With minor upkeep, even, with damage to the car, it has held sturdy and true. It can take a lick and keep on going. It also doesnt breakdown, as easily as newer automobiles. This car is undervalued.…
