1998 2.5, Indigo Blue
Bought 7/2/02 w/37k mi, now 46k mi
Aftermarket: K&N filter, Accel wires, mud guards, sunroof visor, Tornado, PIAA
Problems: replaced 2 tires which had huge bubbles on the sidewalls($180 tire+labor), replace broken vacuam sensor($60), and just found out I need to replace or repair one of my cracked rims. My motorized steering column is no longer motorized. Think the motor died, but I set the steering wheel where I want it. The car drifts very slightly to the left. Gonna need a alignment soon. My gas mileage sucks. I got a scratch on my rear left door caused by a stupid driver who doesn't know how to pull out of a parking lot. The beige leather seats are getting dirty. Recent major tune-up interval($329). Replaced cheap Anco wipers with Bosch($20). After a few months after purchasing the Milly, I noticed the front left fender is darker than the OEM blue. The car was probably in a accident. I plan to repaint the whole car. All in all, I have no problems with the engine yet. The engine is the most important to me. Hard to believe it's a Ford motor powering the base Millenias. So, with a Ford engine, you'll never when it'll go on you. Just don't miss the tune up intervals and maybe it'll last to 200k.
