Test Drove (Need Advice) 98 Mountaineer V8

The radio display is a simple fix. Send it to Trevor at www.pacificaudiotech.com. E-mail him and he'll send you the specific instructions. For $60, he repairs the display, re-seals the potentiometer for the volume control, cleans, lubes, and adjusts and tests everything, and covers return shipping.

The rear wiper could be the motor, the relays, or the switch. More than likely, it's the motor. Replacement from Advance Auto as around $35 IIRC, and it's a 10-minute job to swap it out.

The trunk lock could be one of the linkages just rattling around in there.... if it works, I wouldn't worry about it.

For the trans, I can't help.... not my area of expertise.

The trans is of course a big question, but as a 98 model of an excellent design, it should be minor. Have a valve body kit installed, TransGo specializes in kits to fix factory quirks.

Good prices, jump on it. Good luck,
