Re: Need Advice on Repairs For a '91 Ford Escort

I would get the brakes squared away first.

The struts are probably the originals and could be changed at another time even if they are leaking.
The car will not ride as good as it could with the old struts but will still be drivable none the less.
Struts for a 91 ford should not be hard to find.
With 60,000 miles, the car should last a while and may be worth putting the money into compared to what it would cost to replace the car.
Probably a good first car for a 16 year old.

Good luck
