Shweet, a Ford Probe!!!!

I know, I know, I thought that I would rather hang myself by the toenails than get a domestic car, but I do like the look of Ford Probes, ecspecially a 1997 :O

It's a very clean black car, with light decals on the side, which don't bother me, they're not ricey at all :D

The car only has 100,000, as compared to my car's 132,000. And domestics usually have cheaper parts as compared to imports (a lot cheaper >

The only problem is the Probe doesn't run, which worries me a little, (they think it's the distributor) but it's at a used car dealership, and Cal told him that if the dealership will get the car running, then we will think a lot more seriously about getting the car (after I have a trusted shop check it out :D

They say that they'll take my car and they'll give me 1000$ on top of it, and I will decide after I see what all's wrong with it :D

But ugh, 5-speed, it'll take just a bit of time to learn ><

1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse VS 1997 Ford Probe...the battle begins :D

The Eclipse is an awesome car... but my buddy used to have a 1994 Probe and he did a whole bunch of modifications to it (like amazing new market clutches) and he let me drive it... Damn that car was amazing... I loved it.

Lol, I know XD

My car was scary fast this morning, I've never pushed her over 4 grand in second, and oh god, when the high end speed came on it was awesome XD

I do really like this car though, I hope it turns out not to be a lemon ><!

Re: Shweet, a Ford Probe!!!!

I personally think you are better off with the Eclipse. It has a much stronger aftermarket parts support. You could even pry parts from a Dodge Stealth if you had to! I really haven't heard anything good about Probes.
If you feel you need to get the Probe, you could get more money selling the Eclipse yourself!

Re: Shweet, a Ford Probe!!!!

Well, the problem is that the parts for my car are hella expensive if it breaks, whereas if I have an american car, the parts are cheap cheap!

But iono, I do like my car alot, even though she's getting some bad lifter tick, and her transmission's going ><!
