Got a second viewing of prospective purchase tomorrow Anything bar the usual make sure the front and back number plates match that I should look for ??? What bad trates do they have ie I heard some have dull rear quaters

Anything else

1- Check that the drivers/passengers seat bases have the stitching across them to aviod sagging leather.
The earlier ones didnt come with this stitching but the later ones did. Many owners have had them changed to tyhe stitched ones under warranty, but some people have been turned down by Ford if it is over one year old.

2- Alot have had to have paint as they were known to have an orange peel effect.
I can tell that mine has had some paint done on the quarter panel, but this was done prior to being delivered to the Ford dealership, as my brother who works at Ford checked it off.

3- Battery problem if stood still for a few days. Apparantly the radios are supposed to drain them. Had a new one under warrenty.

4- Wheels can have paint bubbling around valves. Had two changed under warrenty and know of other owner that has had the same.

Please dont let any of the above put you off buying one as you will not regret buying one for the buzz of driving it and the buzz of the people that show interest in it. (young and old)

Let me know if you end up[ getting one!
