You can usually find old Panteras for a song. Most are in poor shape and need work, and the 5.0L Mustang running gear does nothing to add to the price. I've seen ones for sale for less than $18K. Restored ones around $40K.Like many older Mustang 5.0's the engines in these old Panteras are ready for the rebuild shop or the scrapyard. Good thing is that replacement parts are cheap, and most mechanics that know anything about Fords can fix them. A vintage exotic that doesn't need a $250 per hour mechanic is very advantageous.The original mufflers and that big Ford V8 together made some of the best exhaust sound around.
I'm on my second Focus wagon. 122K and going strong. I'm 6'2" and this is a very comfortable car to drive for hours.
I have a friend who owns a bare bones Focus (non-wagon) and has over 150K. He loves the car and is going to get the new one when it is available. I went to the Auto show and really liked the looks of the new Focus.
Although not a wagon, I'm still crazy about my Honda Fit. I know it'll hold some things that my BMW323 wagon won't hold due the way the inside of the car is ten times bigger than the outside.
Like I said, it's all good discussion, even if it doesn't apply to me directly.
I think Honda should have been selling a Civic wagon here for the last 20 years. Steve
