Wow! thank you for the quick replies! I plan on going with our family friend who just so happens to also be our mechanic to inspect the vehicle. It is a private sale, and the seller has provided me with sufficient info in accordance to what has been replaced, where the work has been done, if the car has met all it's service dates. He said he has completed all the recalls on the vehicle and that he is the original owner. I am not too worried about accelleration, I just want the car because i feel like it suits me. I have read that it has very good handling.

I have taken into account that my dad will bludgeon me with how ford is so crap as soon as something as simple as a sparkplug may need replacing, but I don't live with my father, so unless he plans on calling my phone all day to spew his Ford hate, then I should be alright.

Basically, am I going to regret this car...or do most of you think i'll embrace it? I am expecting problems to arise here and there, but hopefully nothing with a costly fix. The car does not have warranty, as again, it is a private sale, but I will have it inspected to make sure its isn't a ticking time bomb.
