Why don't you swap a Diesel into the Scorpio?

HELL NO!!! it aint woth it, plus the car is way to heavy and big anyway.
car is actually for sale right now, and since i work at mazda i am looking for a cheap little mazda car for me.
i dont really do ford in general, the scorpio was just dead cheap from the car dealer i worked at and i needed something to drive when i bought it..but it is gone soon. monday i get the benz wich will be my commuter car until i sell it, aproximatly 4-6 weeks, and i am pretty sure during that time i will find a suitable car!

You just need a good car to get around...
This might just be it!

Welcome to the forums, sorry that Mazda didn't work out for you. I hope you find something in better shape soon.

I figured this was essentially an MX3 (US), but seems a bit different.
