You're gonna see certain problems out of any car, but you're a lot less likely to out of a Ford. It never failed, I'd get Chevy's in for used car inspections or just maintenance or anything and if it had more than 30k or 40k I could find thousands of dollars of work it needed. Leaks, bearings, things like that, not maintenance items like brakes and air filters. I'd get in a Ford and unless it had at least like 150k then 9 times out of 10 it didn't need much more than brakes or tires and things like that if it needed anything at all. You can say a couple years isn't a lot, but working 7-5 5 days a week and 8-2 Saturdays you see a ton of cars in a couple years, a lot more than anybody that hasn't worked as a tech. Like I said, I grew up in the shop next door all the time, it was owned by my uncle. I took three years of auto tech, I have plenty of awards from while I was in school, but I learned more in the first two weeks of actually working on cars all day every day than I did in the 18 years before that. I worked with guys with 50+ years of experience that thought the same way I do... I've always said the more I learn about cars the more I realize I've always been right about Ford. I will say that Chevy comes in at a definite #2 for me, but it's way way way behind Ford. You wouldn't believe what junk most cars are. I'd consistently find major leaks on Hyundais, Hondas, and Nissans with under 25k.
talk Camaros, probably even more so on a Mustang site. At the end of the day I don't care if my Mustang is slower than every Camaro in the world, I loved it and am gonna make this new one as close to identical as I can as soon as USAA stops dicking me around and will love it too.
