Ford Escort and Mercury Tracer Automotive Repair Manual by Alan Ahlstrand, John Harold Haynes (2000, Paperback, Illustrated)

Lets face it.... cars are a luxury, therefore an expense. The simple fact is, no matter how you look at it, even if your car runs perfect all the time, you still have to put gas in it to make it go. Expense! But who's car runs perfect all the time? If you have one, let me know so I can get one too! But honestly, at some point in time your car needs some attention. Whether it is the simple oil change, brakes, or something more difficult, wouldn't it be nice to do it yourself as opposed to shelling out a bunch of cash to have someone else do it for you? The Haynes line of repair manuals are perfect for the novice level and up do it yourselfers! Not only do they put the tasks in an easy to understand text, they use excellent photographs to accompany the written repair. Making this a extremely valuable asset to someone with a little motivation to save themselves some hard earned money!

I like this particular manual because it is fairly comprehensive and can be a help if the repair is covered. It's easy to read and the instructions are clear and easy to understand. The only thing I didn't like about it was that, although it does cover upkeep and minor repairs, anything more would require a trained mechanic. Guess I just expected too much.
I bought the book because my daughter has a '95 Escort that she'd hoped to repair and I thought it might be of some help.

It was a good product but felt like bids were artificially made to raise price but enjoyed it nether the less
