Readers’ Rides:
1988 Merkur XR4ti
Added on March 30 by m4ff3w

Picked up a clean and rust free 88 XR4ti. The guy was wanting $1000 because it had a bad “exhaust leak”

I couldn’t feel a leak anywhere, so I asked to drive it to my house and do a compression check:

35 60 150 155

Ouch. I walked back to his house (couple of blocks away) and offered $200. He said no, I told him if decided to let it go for $300, I’d buy it. I walked back to my house, drove the car over. As soon as got back to his house, he said he’d take $300.

So I’m ordering gasket set/head studs/timing kit/water pump today.
