Morning,
I own a 1989 Ford Probe, it has 70,000 miles on it. I owned one years ago and enjoyed it so much, I actually searched and found this one a couple years ago. Since then, I have realized that one of the things I liked about the other one, was all the extras, including power windows, power locks, cruise control, power driver's seat and sun roof. I am thinking about installing those on my new one which brings me to my question. I just found a 1990 ford probe that has the power locks, windows, cruise, power driver's seat, sun roof plus a digital dash (gauges), the indash trip computer and a rear wiper. I have a few problems with my car which include the exterior driver side door handle is broken, the windshield wipers stop when they are up instead of going into their park position, there is a small dent in the passenger side front fender (above and in front of the wheel) and I seem to have some sort of water getting in somewhere which causes the windows to fog. The good things are low mileage for a 20 year old car and no rust. My question is Would it be an insane idea to buy the 1990 probe as a parts car with the idea of moving the digital dash, sun roof, cruise control, locks, windows etc. from that one to mine. Buying the 1990 probe would cost a little over $100. and probably a couple hundred to bring it home. The cost of buying all those goodies separately is a lot more than that.
Am I crazy to try it?
Thanks,
Sherry
