Title: Ford Probe..should I?
Post by: Beau on May 07, 2008, 05:51:22 PM
Well, a co-worker has a '94 Probe for sale, has the 24 valve V6, and a 5 speed.
It's a GT, and is in decent shape, interior is ok, a couple trim pieces are fallin off on the driver's door, on the outside. Has a hole in the pass. side on the door trim (the plastic stuff, not the door itself).

He thinks the fuel pump may be out, as it sometimes doesn't start or run.
Looks decent, asking 500 bucks as-is.
If i could, i'd get pics of it...y'all think it'd be worth it, roughly?

well, here's an update, after work today, we tried to jump start it, but the battery was too dead to turn the engine over for more than a couple seconds, so I yanked it and brought it home to put on the charger, it's a new battery, he left a light on in the car awhile back, lol.

Thing is, I didn't hear the fuel pump kick on, but not sure if it was getting enough voltage anyway..will try again tomorrow with a charged battery.

Yeah, it'll get better mileage than the Caprice does, at the expense of room, but hey...to be back in a 2 door Ford...I'll make the sacrifice lol.

Anyway, I'll keep this updated, in case anyone cares lol:hick:
