Hmmm, my 91 mustang lx, had over 360K miles on it and except for having the transmission rebuilt twice, never put a penny in it. It had the original, starter, alternator, fuel pump when i decided to rebuilt it in 2003.
I've run into people who swear by FORDs and I've run into people who, like myself, have had nothing but heartache and trouble from FORDs.
I've run into people who would only back their trucks and not their sedans.
Heard one guy say, "Whoever is designing and building their trucks needs to boot out the guys designing their cars and build 'em like their trucks."
My experience with FORD?
A repair every week, repair costing 500 or less.
Every two weeks, repair costing 500 and up.
