I've got slightly more then $600 into my escort, and it's a nice little ****kicker for in town

Bought it for $75...
Control arm for $50
ball joints for $40
junkyard tires for $40
allignment for $40
Clutch $130
Trans (125k miles, body/engine has 190k) $130
Speakers $60
Misc junkyard items (around $50)
Battery $50 or so
And maintiance/tune up (oil/filter, air filter, plugs, wires... bla bla bla)

Should get some new tires ($200 for 60k goodyears), but I'm selling it to my cousin for $600... It's a FANTASTIC intown commuter, 5 speed with the 1.9 mazduhh engine. EXTREAM gas milage (35+ with me being hard on it, driving mostly between work/school/home)


The poor fools before me put brakes and an alternator/belt on it, to the tune of $300 (morons)
I've saved mucho$$$ on gas, so, I'm gonna be sad to see it go. I'm sure I'll find another cheap car, but I like escorts
