Front wheel drive but WOW. 18,500 miles and looking good. I’ve always had a soft spot for these since a friend drove one in high school. It was quick and unique.
Find it for sale on Detroit Craigslist.
“I have a 1988 Merkur XR4TI for sale. THIS CAR IS EMACULATE!! It is loaded with extras–p/w, p/l, p/m, A/C, heated seats, all leather interior, 6 way seat, fog lights, cruise, rear defrost, original locking custom wheels, and sunroof. Everything is in good working order. It is a 5-speed, 4 cylinder, 2.3 with TURBO. The interior is all leather and in excellent condition, no rips, tears or worn areas. The exterior is in excellent condition also. It has a couple little door dings, but other than that, it is almost mint condition. It has newer tires, brand new battery and a whole new exhaust. It has 18,500 original miles. I am the 2nd owner and have known the 1st owner for years. This car has been garaged its entire life, never been in the snow. “

My Dad had one of these, Paul’s favorite color..RED. We had a blast with it… Shifting was a little tricky when you really wanted to get on it, but the Turbo was strong.
