a break from all the Ford-bashing in the media. Anyone visit online CarConnection? Once a week they run a "ask the mechanic" spot. This week, an owner reports that he's disappointed: he wanted to have
500,000 miles on his Grand Marquis by July 1st, but is driving less and only made it to 487,000!
He stated that he changes oil/filter every 3000 miles, air filter every
4th oil change and spark plugs once a year. other than that he claims zero repairs. he's been putting 55,000+ miles a year on it.
try that with your Saturn, Neon, Toyauto .....for that matter, your BMW or Benz: yeah, you can make it to 500,000 miles, but you'll have spent a hundred grand on maintenance!
