Doesn't matter where it's made, it's still a Ford now. There are plenty of Toyotas manufactured in the US does that make them American? Hardly.

Don't forget that Lotus, Jag and Rolls are all Ford owned too!

I don't know about domestic vs import. I have a 1995 dodge with over 200K on it. Other than normal wear and tear - tires, brakes it has been fine.

You have one of a few.

I got rid of a '93 Dodge shadow with 129K because of tranny problems and a '97 Dodge conversion van because of engine problems at 72K.


The Fords are so far so good. :cheers:

My first car was a 93 Dodge Shadow (that I bought in 95). It DIED at under 50K only a year after I got it. :burning:

My Celica I abused for most of the time I had it. Then I came to my senses and realized how mean I was to it. Had her checked out and some regular maintenace done to her and she was/still is fine. My dad bought it from me with 120K on it for my grandmother who had a Catilac that was stalling on her w/ only 70somethingK. She's had it for months and hasn't had a problem yet.

:burning: Except for my '00 Focus that wouldn't start one day a few weeks ago and again today!! Last time we managed to get it going and it was fine...this time it won't start for anything!! I just want to get it started so I can drive it to the dealership - towing is going to cost a fortune...$50 to hook it up and $2.50 per mile :yikes:!!! It's been a good car prior to this, though, so I can't complain.

I had 2 toyotas before my Ford, and both were gems!

God is punishing you for buying a Focus instead of another Yoda!

Hey Catt, :razz: ! Christy had me out in the hot tub last night. I'm sleepy and my spelling skills are down the crapper today. You don't really expect me to proof read do you?

Seriously?? I've had it serviced for each and every warranty - so I'm sure it's been taken care of if I got the notice (and there's been SO many with it being a 1st yr. car). The warranty came and went so fast, and I never even considered and extended warranty. Ahhh well!! I could call AAA and join today, and call them tomorrow to tow the car, hehehe!

Yes, I do believe you are right...we have already vowed we're not getting anymore Fords after we're done w/this one!

He's recovering....the doctor has him on intravenous fluids and said the swelling will go down in a few days but his right arm may never be the same. :roflmao:

There ya go. I got the extended warranty especially since it was the first year. :biggrin: I have 98K on my 2000 Focus and only started having issues with it....the biggest issue so far is having Waldorf Ford TOUCH IT. :burning:

I've been owner and/or operator of seven Fords and everyone of them were driven well over 200k with one at almost 300k.

A couple were heavily abused and still hit the 250 mark before being replaced.

As far as I'm concerned, almost any new car is going to be a good car if it's taken care of properly.

Oh lord, hehe!! I've only had it at Aldridge, and this time it'll be going to the dealership in Laurel where I live since it's the closest. I have about 60K on mine, so it's not like it should be falling apart yet. And I do all of the regular maintenance, etc...

DAggggggg!!
