The hood doesn’t look like it’s latched properly. Strike 1.

Ya probably. Opposaurusjagwagon isn’t the worst though.

Yes.

Unless you really like working on cars, or paying someone lots of money to do so.

Is it a automatic? If so run away as fast as possible, also it looks like it had front end damage by the look of that gap between the bumper and hood.

You wont do it.

But underneath, it’s a Mondeo and those are pretty solid!

I don’t know, Velociwagon is pretty damn cool :)

It’ll be a markedly different character to the WRX, probably more of a cruiser than a bruiser, but I’ve heard good things about the Mondeo’s chassis dynamics so it can’t go far wrong :)

Fun to look at, fun to drive, glad I had one, glad I don’t now.

Look up the procedure for a transfer case fluid change and the front struts. When 100K rolled around I looked at those and traded it in.

These came in AWD too, so it doesn’t have to be that different from the WRX.

yea while 7 seconds to 60 isn;t bad, i feel that something with ‘veloci’ in the name would be attached to something with a bit higher velocity.

OPPOsaurus WRX > someassemblyrequired
06/02/2015 at 12:02

yea thats the exact type of thing I would want to avoid. Like changing the alternator in my wife’s Escape. I would have done the one on my explorer by myself, but this required dissembling the front drive shaft which I was unwilling to do.

Ugh yeah there are lots of jobs like that. And stupid stuff like the recirc door having crappy plastic gears that strip (that took me a Saturday afternoon to fix), and the seat motors having crappy plastic gears that strip. Also if the headliner isn’t drooping yet it will be soon. If you need a Jag pony up for an XF or XJ - examples can be had for similar money and they are vastly superior - though they have their own bugbears.

How do you feel about transmission swaps? That’s the only personal experience I have with one of these :)

OPPOsaurus WRX > Needmoargarage
06/02/2015 at 12:58

didn;t like having it done on my explorer. its far beyond my capability and i hate paying large sums of money for repairs.
