This Ford ran and drove with some issues of note. On the exterior I noted the wipers are worn and should be replaced. The windshield washer is missing. There are minor misc scratches around the vehicle. Most too small to see in photos. The paint shows some wear and tear that is consistent with age. The headlights are worn and foggy due to oxidization. The front driver turn signal didn't work. The body seals around the windows are showing signs of age and wear. This includes the doors, windows, trunk, and other miscellaneous body seals. They will need replacement. I checked the vehicle with a magnet and found it to stick all around but was weaker in the lower panels. Not excessive.
Inside I noted the sun visors shows wear and tear. The seats show moderate wear. The inner door panels show heavy wear. See pictures. Drivers side feels a little skip when cranking down The dash shows cracks due to age and mileage. The heater system is not blowing as hot as it should. This may be a sign that the thermostat has failed or is starting to fail. There are other more serious issues that could cause this as well. More diagnosis is necessary. The headliner shows miscellaneous smudge marks from normal use. The blower only works on high speed.
The power steering pump is making noise. The power steering system has a leak. The area should be cleaned off and rechecked to find the source of the leak. The engine shows active oil leaks. The engine should be pressure washed off and rechecked to verify source of the leak or all leaks. Visibly noted worn shock bushing in front through wheel well.
Starter made a grinding noise upon application. It was hard to get into 4th gear on the test drive. The engine never came up to temperature during the test drive per the gauge. The vehicle wanders while driving on the road. This is due to loose steering components.
