How does the cost to purchase compare with a same vintage Honda Civic?
I don't know what it is like where you folks are, but around here a Ford
of any sort will depreciate much faster than a Honda and the Honda will
be pretty bullet proof for a lot of miles.
Based upon that, if I could buy a Honda for similar money up front, I
would go with it as it will likely be worth more in a few years time
than the Ford.

Depreciation is waaay down the list of reasons to buy a particular car.
At age 83, ease of maintainence, availability and cost of parts, mpg, ease
of entry and exit, roominess for driver, handling, ride, and likelyhood of
disastrous parts failure (interference engines); these are the principal
factors in my decision to buy a particular car. If there was a good
Mercedes indy who wasn't in the business of ripping off MB owners near here,
I would simply get him to keep my two MBs running and wouldn't even think
about buying another car.
I can still fix my MBs but its slow, some jobs are painful, and its not much
fun anymore.
Nevertheless, thanks for the information and suggestions,
Gerry
