I made the bad decision ov owning a '96 Ford Probe GT with the 2.5 V6 "interference" engine. The car LOOKED good, black, leather, loaded, 5 speed, aftermarket exhaust. However, I had to do major engine repairs twice in the two years I had it. The last disaster was the engine jumped time and the pistons beat all 24 valves to death before I could shut it off. I sold it for less than it cost me to fix to sell!
I hope the kid that bought it has better luck with it.
