I bought this car used, my first try at a luxury vehicle. It started overheating soon after driving and the heater would only blow hot air out the vents. Middle of the summer. Had to drive it this way for a few weeks before I could afford to fix it. The temp gauge would shoot up to red pretty quick. At this point you'd have to stop the car , turn it off and listen for a rush of fluid in the engine followed by a gurgling sound. This usually would fix the overheat problem until the car sat for a while again. Quite a nuisance but an easy fix. Took about an hour and under $200. I was able to do it myself. I should have known better than to buy another ford. Fool me twice- shame on me. Such nice looking cars though.But very unreliable
