Bought my first car

I bought a 95 Ford Probe SE today for $4300 with 79000 miles on it. I looked into older acuras and civics first but they all had over 100k. The probe is just a temp car until i get my Type-R Teg.

Probes are decent cars. I used to have one. I really liked it. Even though it says Ford on the hood, its a mazda under it.

And that's what counts. So long as the engine isn't Ford made your set.

now all you need is the requisite park bench on the back, fart exhaust, APC stickers, and "PROBE" in big letters on your windshield...oh wait, thats what you DON'T want to do!

Congrats on the car, man. Good luck when things start breaking on it. Probes are notorious for this.

Not really.. Probes arent all that bad. I know many people that have had them and never had a problem, but its like anyother car. It just depends on how you take care of it.

Im sorry I was mistaken. Its all the SECONDARY systems that seem to break most. The engine is made by Mazda. Even so, it all depends on how you care for it. your right.

the geekz0r (11:04:16 PM): so 2nd pulls like 1st in the 5speed, 3rd is like 2nd, etc.
PortugeeTex (11:04:26 PM): so whats 1st like then?
the geekz0r (11:04:49 PM): 1st is like hitting a cheeta in the ass with a tazer
PortugeeTex (11:04:53 PM): lmfao
