The German/Ford Merkur XR4Ti was a neat car; 2.3 turbo, quick with excellent handling and comfortable. Sort of a poor man's BMW.

Parts will be tricky to find in some areas of the country and any used car is a risk, especially an older one, but if the price is right, it looks good and doesn't seem to be a load, why not?

It might be a steal due to it's unfamiliarity that puts people off when actually, it's a good car but just didn't make it in the U.S.
