Where I live the dealers already have 26s on the lot and prices are about the same.
The MAV is like a SUV. I believe it is built on the Ford Escape frame.
I wanted the Ridgeline, but, checked measurements and it was too long for my garage.
Yes sir!
Randy,
WOW you really are a crazy car guy. You have had 77 vehicles since you were 16, but 48 of them have been new purchases. 29 of those 77 have been of the used variety. Buying used is always a roll of the dice. Did you do the inspections yourself or did you have a mechanic on retainer ?
The pre owned ones were early in my car buying craziness. I did the inspections since I was
Got ya beat. I’m 73 and have owned well over 100 Ford, Mercury and Lincoln’s. About half and half used/new. Used mostly were 1 year old with less than 10,000 miles on them. Before I started buying Mavs I drove F150s. I’ve owned 10 Ford supercrews, my wife drove mostly Tauruses. Before Tauruses it was Torinos and Fairmonts. Have had just about any vehicle Ford made other than a Mustang. Never liked trying to get in and out of a Mustang. Currently we own a 24 HPR hybrid Mav and a 25 eruption green hybrid AWD Mav. They are upgrades from the 22 ecoboost AWD and 23 hybrid we owned.
Shazammm, that's a lot Fix Or Repair Daily's
In all my years of driving only got stranded 1 time. That was a 73 Torino, found out the problem was a sock type fuel filter on fuel pickup in the fuel tank. Towed it to nearby garage took high pressure air hose to fuel line, removed fuel cap and blew the sock off, then installed an inline fuel filter. Drove car for two more years.
And then Clint bought it for the movie? I kid of course but great picture, love my Clint!
Wrong color ours was a medium blue and Wimbledon white had the 351 Cleveland 4 bbl carb.
Got to thinking about it and checked. The Grand Torino in the movie was a 72. The 73 had a flatter front grill. But not to worry wife had a 72 Grand Torino at one time. We also had the half Torinos aka Ranchero (70, 72, 73 and 74)
