 This is hands down the most dependable, well made,and has the most value of any vehicle I have ever owed.  I purchased from a local dealer for 14,400, (original sticker in glove box @ 30k).  There is absolutely nothing available tht offers what this car does for that kind of money.  Unfortunately, I was hit by a drunk driver going about 15- 20mph while I was stopped at a corner.  The drivers door took all of the impact from his 1989 Buick Park Ave.  I was not injured and 3 weeks, a new door and paint later the car was back to me in perfect shape.  Quiet, comfortable, fuel efficient, (20mpg mixed cylce) and unbelieveable safe.  Why Ford quit making these is beyond me. Great Car!
