So I came across a this Mercury Lynx with the Mazda RF diesel engine in it. I am seriously considering sending the guy an offer for $400 for it. So oppo, what do you think? I wouldn’t actually use this as a driver, it would be a rallycross/hoon-the-ever-loving-shit-out-of-it car.

This seems like a bad idea that is actually bad not a bad idea that is fun and/or cool

Gambler 500.
Diesel Lynx sounds perfect for that.

That’s a lot of visible rust. Where there’s visable rust there’s more you can’t see

Yea, that’s my only concern...he claims the frame is good, but i would get a good look under the car before buying

If you’re the kind of person that thinks a $400 33 year old diesel domestic car would be fun, you’ll love doing the Gambler.
My local one has a single day run coming up in a couple of weeks.

It’s quite alright you can keep reading, he continues to say:

I don’t blame you for being too scared to continue reading, but it paid off.

Well, if you can miss the $400 and probably hundreds more to get it running, then why the hell not?
oh mann, pity it isn’t this model:

We’re still in a situation where he’s not driving the car around town like the Rightful King of Mazda-Mercury Diesels. That’s not okay - needs both.

They’re known for cooling system issues in the Ford applications, that’s most of what I know.

Yea, I read up a little on them and it seems like it was an issue with the fan not kicking on and temps getting too high which doesn’t seem too bad.
