Thats ok though, cause my new ride is newer and has a power moonroof, tan leather interior, 6 cd changer in the trunk, keyless entry, every power option and 200+ horse 24 valve dohc V6 and weights around 3300lbs. Not bad for $455.00 (but I have to put 225 into it right off the bat)

WTF did you get and where

common problem with that oil leak is the dipstick o-ring, check that out while you're at it. and the lower intake gasket failure issue is with the 3100, not the 3.1, so you should be ok on that part.

I will give some hints. It is made by Chevys long standing rival but does not carry there name on it and it is often thought of as a family sedan (but hey, I am just using it as my daily driver)

Edit- And this is what the rear seats looks like

what ford sub brand?

[FormulaLT1]

Yup, made by Ford motor company but is not a Ford. Thats narrows it down to like 5 makes .
