Hey y’all,
I’m looking for some advice on buying a 1990 Foxbody GT hatchback. I’m needing a car to go to my college and back everyday, which is a 62 mile drive round trip mostly on the interstate. I’m wary of buying such an old car to drive that distance daily, but the car I’m looking at appears to be in great shape inside and out; it’s also WELL within my purchase range. It’s got 110k original miles on the clock, or so the seller claims, and it’s outfitted with headers, exhaust, and a smog pump delete, so it already has what I would want to slap on there as soon as I got it. But again, It’s 28 years old, and I’m wondering if it’s just not the car that I will be able to depend on. My first vehicle was a 91 Ford truck and it was/is a nightmare of fixing sh*t that always went out, but I know that that truck wasn’t well cared for until I bought it.
So educate me Fox gurus, does anyone dd their Foxes? Am I going to be fixing things on the car every few miles?
I’m probably going to get some affordable “economic” car if this is a bad idea (sigh).
Thanks
