in the grand scheme of things i think you may be better off with the ford. cheaper maintance and it looks wayyyy cooler than a honda. but hey thats my idea

worked on fords for many years nothing but problems they spend more time being repaired then driven that just my imo..
I am the second owner, I took the car in when it looked worse then it does now, I fixed the hoe up and it ran good, the only problem with it was after the accident minus the fact that I needed to change the breaks and the oil leak. The oil leak I believe is from the oil pan, thats what is stated on my est. of damages. The damages to the back I will pay $400 + new bumper. I need New breaks. I can get new tail light and side light for free lol. The only reason the engine had been replaced was b/c the owner before was a a-hole to my poor baby and didnt put oil in it so he blew the engine...... DA! Also the car had been in a wreck before in the front but nothing serious only damage to the fender and when I bought it it had no fender so they were going to sell it to my like that but I just wanted to car b/c I loved it so much its like when you walk into an auto place and you stick to a car and they felt bad and they coldnt find a new fender in the color of my car so they just bought me a primed fender and some paint??? oh well it looks almost the same color seeing as me and my friends cant really paint a car... and that doesnt cause problems that only cuases issues if you need a car that looks nice and i like my honda so that really doesnt bother me at all, that was the only damage from that one was to the fender. Other then that the car runs excellent no engine problems at all. The second to last picture is the oil spot from my oil leak (My car isnt park in the same spot I normally put it in a sense its backed up and off the curb just a little bit more which is why the leak area looks funny to the car) and (the last one is under my car) The exhuast and pipe is all not even a year old kinda rusted all ready though grrr. Here are some pictures:
I dont have any of my g-mas car but it looks something like this and nvm I dunno what year it is I looked up 95-97 and they all look the same to me but it looks something like this but w/sun roof, spoiler and v6 or something engine I think thats the engine ne who not positive. This is generally what it looks like (yes this is the same color)
keep it thats minor damage i seen so much worse repaired i even replaced a frame on a f150 pick up once fix the brakes and the oil leak stick in a new tail light make sure there is no pinched wires and repair the body when you have the extra do ra me..

Honestly have had great reliability from the Ford I have now 99' F150, two friends who are hardcore Chevy guys clown all the time and both have had nothing but trouble with thier Chevys.
As far as any trucks go I ve never heard anything bad about any truck everyone says they reliable but never been a big fan of dodge.. Anyways as far as car's go I heard alot of bad things about their cars and what kinda is ironic in a sense is that my mom use to have a ford contour or something and that thing had more problems it broke down all the time the engine was ghey etc... so I dunno thats why, I know ALOT of good things about honda and toyota ford,mazada and dodge are prob. the thing I hear most bad things about.Filthy Sanchez said:

I agree hondas in general seem to run forever and are easy to repair, but this one needs to be put to rest IMO.
Has it had a harsh life ash?
Oh man, actually for the most part Honda makes a very reliable car. Easily into the 150,000 to 200,00 mile range before serious problems.
The damage doesn't look too severe Ash, though the T-bird has only 20,000 miles that's real low for that year of a car.
