I could replace the engine or transmission on either ford for less than

only. I just keep driving them and will fix as needed. Gas would need to be
$10/gal or greater for the economics of replacing these cars to make sense
given the amount of driving I do.


I have the same way of thinking. I now have a 1990 and a 1996 Citroen,
both combined costed me less than US$5000 and both run very well. They both
got dumped by their previus owners for being gas guzzlers (25mpg) so
I got them cheap.
