well, our old faithful Dodge Neon was getting so old, and in need of repairs, we decided it was time to trade it in. with over 250,000 miles on it, and the only major repair was a blown head gasket near 90,000 miles, the old girl didn't owe us a single mile. but forward and onward. my wife really liked this ford when she drove it. and while its not perfect, everything seems to be working right. is there anything that i need to watch out for with these. it has 75,000 miles on it now. i try to keep ahead of repairs with preventative maintenance. and i already have a transmission oil and filter change along with engine coolant change scheduled. if there is anything i can head off at the pass so to speak, i would like to. i looked in the column before posting this, and it looked like a lot of one off problems. oh, this has the 3.0 v-6 engine, and 4 speed automatic transmission.
