Used Ford Probe for Sale near Tupelo, MS

The current auto love of my life. I love this car! It's a joy to drive and a joy to look at! The performance of this car is tops! From the 2.5L 24-valve 6- cylinder engine to the quad- disc brakes, 5-speed manual transmission, this car just screams sporty! The only problem I have with it is the fact that it's front-wheel drive... This should have been a rear-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle. It would have been more comparable to the other cars in its class (Eclipse, Celica, MX-6, etc.). But for being front-wheel, its still pretty impressive. I guess the other problem I have with it is its size. It's a bit too big in my opinion... The car itself really isn't that big, but making it the size of an Integra, Prelude, or Celica would have worked out better. The build quality is awesome! Although the engine compartment is really crowded, but it's not bad. The appearance of the inside and outside is just sexy! Very simplistic and smooth. There isn't a whole lot of stuff going on with the car to make it complicated. Just simple and clean. For being a '94 body style, it still fits well with current cars. So far the only problem I've had with the car was the alternator. But got the taken care of and everything is fine. The one truth that remains about most Ford cars is that they're always fun to drive! I've owned this car for about two years now and I still love driving it!

Performance- With it's fine 24-valve Mazda K-series V6 and lightweight Mazda GE body, the Probe has okay acceleration. Where it really shines, though, is in handling. I cannot even describe how well the thing handles. Build quality- You will hear about a lot of people having problems with the car. If the car was well cared for, and if you have the 5-speed manual transmission, then it will easily give you 250,000 miles of loyal service. Appearance- I think it's gorgeous. I love every smooth, flowing curve on the whole car. However, it is certainly a "like it or hate it" sort of design. Cost of ownership- A well-kept Probe GT can get upwards of 30 miles to the gallon. Enjoy. However, replacement parts are not cheap. Order them through Mazda, or look in junkyards, if you're comfortable with that. Fun factor- Never mind if the car's fun to drive. It's fun just to sit in. Taking corners at ridiculous speeds is exhilarating. Go buy one now.

I totally enjoy driving the Probe, especially when it's 5-speed. I've owned about three of them now. However, the head gaskets seem to always be the main problem with these cars. This car looks really good and is great for customization projects but the head gasket is a problem. I'm having trouble with that in my '93 Probe now. Still trying to decipher what to do with it. But I'll always love the Ford Probe!!

This little screamer fell into my lap when my cousin blew the head, so I got a free car. All I knew at the time was that it was a manual w/ a turbo. so I was excited during the long rebuild process. So the first time I took this baby out I was blown away. She pulls like a V8 if you ask me. I mean, 145hp is nothing to brag about, but then you put in 190tq and it makes all the difference. The Probe's turbo kicks in at a low rpm because of it's small size. So by 3k rpm you'll be fully boosted and pulling hard at 9.5 psi. I must say for an 89' model this car has the features. a good stereo from the factory with subs, in dash trip computer, adjustable nitrogen shocks w/ 3 settings (soft/normal/sport), speed and brake sensing steering, as the suspension reacts to your every move. But sadly this car has a unique look that is not of my taste personally, but she's got some good lines, so for a free car I'm not complaining. She does on on gas as long as you don't drive like me. on the freeway you pull and east 25mpg, and 15-20mpg around town. Now lets see...how fun is this car........Well I never want to go home at night, I just want to drive the back roads all night and burn every ricer i can find. She even pulls double duty, as I've had her up on some forest service roads (gravel) and she was a wannabe rally car blast to drive. Overall this is an awesome car and I think I deserves a lot more respect than it gets from it's DSM competition.

This is my third Probe. My first being an 89 GT Turbo, then a 95 SE, and now a 95 GT. They handle extremely well, braking has never been a problem and acceleration could be better but is definitely not too shabby. The build of these cars is pretty solid. I have heard that they usually have distributor problems but I have never had a problem with them. Repairs made are those that have been due more to age than any defect of the build. They are well balanced and are fairly sought after for tuners and mods. The appearance is sleek and definitely well thought out. This car is 15 years old and can still garner attention. This car is definitely fun to drive, I love taking it out on a mild day and letting the windows down and opening the sunroof and cranking the CD player all the way up and just going for a drive.
