Used Ford Cars for Sale near Detroit, MI

This was a car that served me through my high-school and college years, and for that will forever carry with it the unmatched nostalgia and sentimentality of great times gone by. The '83 Laser, a hatchback powered by a 1.5 litre 4-cylinder in-line powerplant, was a thrifty and easy to use ride. Build quality was average, but for its class it had a roomy hatch and boot, comfortable a/c cooling, and for its time a good looking beige and tan interior. The Fun Factor was definitely there, it handled well, and was spirited enough in acceleration, and in combining both was enjoyable to weave through traffic at swift euro-hatch speeds. Yes, I consider this a predecessor of the fun euro-hatches of our day. In a feature not found on any marketing literature on it, The hatch was long and outward enough, to serve as both a top cover, and card table, whenever friends and I would hang out to play cards in between classes at University. Cost of ownership unfortunately ran a tad higher in Manila, because of the absence of parts, in years where the old Ford dealerships were away from Manila. This led to its own sad phasing out as the years went by in the early 2000's. For the record, I had made it to 180 kph with this car, the fastest I had ever driven PRIOR to our current fleet. We enjoyed the car so much we celebrate the name its first owner gave it, which we adopted, "George". Farewell George. In Memoriam. 1983-2003.

Very nice car to own for the price. 16k around 10 years ago. with 115k now has 247k on the dial. Has good acceleration, very good braking, i think 9 or 10 inch brakes at the front, something substantial anyway. It was in good condition until I parked it under some gum trees which ate away the paint and caused it too rust above the windows. 118kw of power, detuned for Australian conditions. Repairs can be expensive as it is a limited edition car, only a few hundred in Australia. Very well made as well. Under the front mirrors I think it says Mazda :) The airconditioning when working was excellent.

It was good for short trips...but a wonky right rear suspension coil spring made the wheel scrap the wheel arch over dips and bumps on roads.

This car has great handling. Does not need anything done to it, no squeaks or rattles. It has a nice red paint job though is starting to fade. Is very cost effective. Is really realy fun to drive. And I would reccommend to all.

Lasers Rock!This car is unkillable, I use it for an every day driver then on the weekends I hit the track with it. It doesnt use heaps of fuel and can seat 5 people. The car is looking a little old being 18yo, but there arnt many around now and it feels good to have a reasonably well kept example of an AWD TX3.
