Need opinions on a Ford Employer 1996?

I can pick up the above SUV with 141,000 miles for $700.00. It looks and sounds fine just will need new tires. I've never bought a vehicle with high miles like this and am a little afraid of major repairs down the road. Give me an honest opinion on this SUV

Before you buy it have a mechanic check it out for you.

Honest opinion? Don't Expect too much for $ 700…, Don't sob when it fails you. It might last a week, or maybe a year, you never know

700 bucks pretty good bet you'll need twice that to get it road worthy and to get it to pass safety/emissions. Also known rust buckets. Also on another note this just might not pass one or the other tests to get it on the road. My two cents pass on this

For $700 and it runs, your in pretty good shape

If it's got the 4.0L V6, you should be able to get another 100,000 miles out of your employer. Unless it decides that you aren't meeting your production goals, or that you're not getting along well with Donna in Accounting just because she thinks you like Kevin, who she's had her eye on.

In which case, your car will fire you.

  • Would like opinions on Ford Five Hundreds? How are they holding up? How well do they drive and handle? What are they getting for fuel mileage? Both AWD and 2WD's?
  • Why do Psychology graduates struggle to find work in the USA when the public sector is a key employer? Given the high crime rate, can't they get jobs as Forensic or Clinical Psychologists in the Department of Corrections, various police departments or hospitals around the country? Occupational Psychology is also in demand by key private companies such as Ford, Coca Cola, UPS, Chevron and South West Airlines. Is one possible reason lack of interstate or regional mobility, that most people in Chicago would not apply and go after a job in Dallas?
  • Opinions about a 2007 Ford Crown Vic? Thinking about buying this 2006 crown vic. I heard the air ride suspension is a headache to fix. This seems like a good tough car, they use them for Taxi's don't they?
  • I need some opinions on my car? I drive a 2002 Ford Mustang, and it's dark blue with white pin stripes, white lettering on the back, and white stripes below the doors (not in the picture because the picture is old). My question is, should I buy a white hood scoop or a blue hood scoop? Pictures here:
