RE: Finally got my R/T
To answer the engine question, I was NOT referring to vintage Ford engines. I was talking about engines from the last decade or so (2 of the engines that lunched under 36,000 were in Windstar vans and the other was in some Ford sedan - and I don't buy the bad maintenance / bad care angle as these were different mature family men / engineering types who maintain their stuff & don't drive wildly - to give Ford credit, in each case, the enginer were replaced under warranty, but still - the thought of a modern engine grenading under normal use within the 1st few years of life ain't awe inspiring - perhaps the engines being used in Mustangs have much superior stats, I don't know - I do know that if I were to consider a Ford, I'd want to look into that closer to know for sure before putting my $ down).
