This very special 1997 Ford Probe was actually given away as the top prize in a Ford-sponsored competition that took place that same year, but as it turned out, the lucky winner didn’t really have any use for it, apparently. Thus, they stored it away and rarely drove it over the ensuing years, leaving it in immaculate condition to this day.
Current price is about 15,000 pounds, but, since this won't sell for that much, as, that's what a NEW car would cost, and this has 27 year old plastic, rubber hoses and lines, etc etc. And there are no new replacement parts, and it won't have a new car warranty.
If there is a great reason to buy a mediocre Ford, and pay the same as a new Civic, I'd like to hear it

about 20 years ago I bought one cheap to use as a commuter, I think I paid 2k for it... if that damn car had a more powerful engine it would have been a fantastic sports car. By the way, the Ford Probe, aside from not having a good name, was a remade Mazda 323 I heard.
Hi Jesse, the Ford Probe was based on the Mazda MX-6 which was the coupe version of the Mazda 626 at the time.
ReplyDeleteAnd was supposed to actually be the new Mustang.
ReplyDeleteI think Mazda made some turbocharged AWD versions.
I read that about it taking over for the Mustang... since that didn't happen, and the Mustang name lived on, now we have the electric SUV Mustang. Good Grief Charlie Brown, they were right to try and stop using the Mustang name, but they certainly did n ot have the brains to call it a Torino, or a horse name, or something nice. Probe? No. That should not be a car name
