Very nice Mark IV: * 83.5k well documented miles * 1 owner until 2012 (now 2) * nice repaint 2yrs ago due primarily to oxidation * excellent interior, original floor mats, dash/carpet/seats excellent * new: tires (3k?), valve seals, radiator, hoses, belts, coil, starter (high torque), stereo (have original), window motors (2 front), hood hinges, spark plugs, wires, valve cover gaskets, replaced ac compressor (blows cold, R12), universal joints, probably others I' m forgetting; new water pump, edelbrock carb works great (original versions kept leaking as they are prone to do). Car starts right up after sitting for weeks even when 30 deg. * transmission professionally serviced with new seals * runs strong; driven 9k since 2012; 500 miles in last month * local tax value $8.2k after inspection * neg - horn and a/c compressor are on separate switches on dash (discretely located underneath); no cruise; back left window needs gear (only moves 1.5 in horizontally when functional anyway), small rust bubbles by front wheel wells -not noticeable from 10 ft and easy fix (recent), small dent in corner of roof, power lock works on passenger side only; * brake components they work great. However the antiquated sure-trak (like a 1974 ABS - best avoided) seems to be non-functional and the brake dash light is on for that reason. Currently taped over and unnoticeable. So they function like normal disk/front drum/back brakes. * It seems as if the car has gotten a hair louder in the last week. There may be a slight exhaust leak.
