A couple of months ago, I bought a 93 Mark from a lady which had been in her family since her dad bought it new. When I saw it, the car was slammed, and had been sitting for 4 months. I initially offered her $200, but she countered with $350, and I gave her $360 in all $20's. I told her keep the change.
The car was in pretty bad shape. No more than any other Mark we all happen across these days. Hell, for $360, not bad. The seals on the tranny got weak, and most of the transmission fluid leaked out. So I needed to do a tranny service. The suspension was so far compressed, that when I jacked up the car. The wheels stayed tucked.
The first thing I did was do the whole front end suspension. They were all shot.
On the passenger side, the bolt that held the air strut to the LCA was seized, and I had to take them out as an assembly.
The rest of the suspension came out with no problem. They were really compressed.
After I was done, the car was back to normal height.
