1990 Ford Mustang engine problems

Filed Jan 15, 2004 · Engine, Tires · UN

There are 54,000 miles on the car. I bought the car end of november when there were only 49,000 miles on it. The paint is peeling very badly on the front bumper. I inquired about a repaint and it was going to be well over $5,800. I had to put 3 transmissions in the car (in about end of february, again in about 3 weeks another one had to be put in) I only paid about $1,100.00 for the transmission and the others were covered by the mechanics warranty. The transmission that was in there was fried when they sold it to me. A rim had to be replaced because it was bent which costed $45.00. I had to replace the cooling system ($800.00) (june 24 2003) because it was not working at all. The engine had over heated causing the radio to malfunction. A/c does not work at all, it blows hot air. Heater works but it takes a very long time before heat comes out. If the car could just be repainted by ford, I?ll pay a deductable if necessary because it is a very nice car and I love the way it drives and handles. Nothing compares to the mustang, but the paint peeling sometimes is a bit embarrassing because it?s a nice car, well maintained, but the paint is peeling. Is there anything I can do to make ford repaint my car for me?
