Ford Probe The Probe appeared in 1988 and lasted until 1997 in the United States. It was based on a series of futuristic concept cars of the early 1980s, the likes of which have been seen in films like Judge Dredd, Back to the Future Part II and Total Recall. It was a coupe based on the Mazda GD platform, and was powered by a 2.2 L SOHC I4 cylinder Mazda F2 engine.

You need to look at the...

Tires
shocks
struts
tie rod ends
engine's front seal
CV axle seals
amount of rust under the car
oil leaks on the engine
fluid levels
door gaps


I also like to check if someone has destroyed the stereo wiring, trashed the interior, dented up the exterior, and what care they have taken of the car. If you consider most of these items and that earlier list you can figure how much you will have to invest in the car over the near future, and what the car is worth.

Question is do you want an auto tranny? If not it's not too hard to swap to a manual... just saying dont get it if you're not going to enjoy it.
