My dad’s 05 also has the Vulcan. It’s slow, but sounds decent and is the only part of the car that hasn’t broken

Maybe it’ll be more reliable by comparison....

My XJ is miserable to drive in 90 Va heat and gets 13mpg.... other than that it’s fine.

I’m going to run the numbers to see if I can afford to keep it as a winter beater, but the odds are that the XJ and my Panther are being sold asap.

I don’t mind it though... but the prior gen with the Yamaha V6 would have been better.

That’s true, but if you had black leather with broken A.C. like we did it was a little thicccc

Wonder how many times that car has been seized by the police and sold at auctions.

It was owned by one of my librarian coworkers... he was going to donate it so I just bought it instead. I pick it up tuesday.

It’s fine, it’ll run.

And I had a ‘97 SHO, so I will hear no complaints about its styling.

HAHA! I like the aero SHO’s too.

Bumpers are pre-hit, so it qualifies for parking by feel.

I bought a white one exactly like that a few years ago for girlfriend. Actually liked it. Had 200k on it but transmission rebuilt 50k before. Served well for a year then failed emissions and didn’t feel like spending anything on it . sold it to somebody in emissions exempt area that needed cheap transpo. Got the same price I paid.

Advice. Check oil and trans fluid every few weeks. Old Ford’s leak :)
