1998 F-150 here.  150K w/ no major problems so far.  (knock wood)  ;)

That's a tough one.... hard to dump a 3 or 4 year old car, but who's to say something else won't go wrong if you spring for a new motor.   :-\

I have a 2000 Tacoma.  The water pump leaked a little and had to be replaced while still under warranty, but I haven't had a problem with it since... there's definitely something to the reliability reputations.

I've been the owner of a Ford Scorpio and a Ford Mondeo and both served me well. The Scorpio (European "goggle eye" model) had a lrage design flaw though. The fusebox was built right under the water drain. Instead of correcting the flaw they put a plastic cap over it which after some years would crack allowing water to seep into the fusebox shorting the whole system. No idea why they put something like that on the market. And then they talk about Chinese design being bad... :badmood:

I would never buy any car built after 1970 as they aren't made to last.

You don't live in New England, do you?  There are no cars here built before 1980 that aren't restoration toys.  Cars here last 8 years max.  After that the best built car is falling apart in rusty chunks on the road.  Hell, you'd be hard pressed to find a car built before 1985 that is still running without major restoration work on the undercarriage.

I'd say it's a sign, cut your losses and sell it for parts.
