Thanks for the reply Dianne!Spent the day looking and driving a few cars and havent made a decision yet on the future of my sport!Not very excited about trading in for $1500.Drove a Corolla and was totally disappointed.Also a new Suzuki called the Forenza.That drove ok and has a fantastic warranty and a low price.Also drove a Saturn ION and came away extremly impressed.That appears to be the front runner if I do something!IM a long distance truck driver and am leaving for 2 weeks on Monday so I doubt I will do anything tommorow.I also washed it today which made me feel good.The Champagne color still shines and the A/c still cools these FL days so I may just hold onto it for a while longer.When I originally purchased this vehicle,I was a salesman for a dealership on Long Island NY,and felt like the vehicle was a mini SHO.Car has been pretty reliable anduntil this recent spat of trouble it has not layed down on me.The trouble I have with it is all the parts are unique and expensive to replace.Any motor work is a killer to do and even the alternater was a major headache because of the location.The thermostat is an unusual design and is a Ford only part.The water pump is made of plastic.But when all is said and done it still brings a smile to my face when I run through the gears and steer it into the corners!Best wishes Charlie
