hi guys new to the forum and i'm looking to buy a 1990 xr3i have you got any info on them that will help me buy . this is going to be an every day car so was wondering what are they like to live with on a day to day basis. thanks in advance for any info you all can give me

3 main things to look out for are rust,rust and more rust! Boot floors battery trays inner wings and sills are classic Mk 3 and 4 Escort weak spots. A smoking engine usually points to worn valve stem seals on a CVH engine. It should make for some cheap motoring though
