Question about installing stereo
Hello, i just purchased a '96 Ford Escort LX 1.9L station wagon, and I
noticed it only has an am/fm radio in it. How hard is it to install a
CD stereo in this car?, and also which CD stereo would be a good one
to go with?. I am a tight budget, so I really can't afford to get
something really expensive although I do want one with good quality.
Also I noticed that the radio antenna is a power one. Although I don't
really think it works as far as the power part goes, you have to pull
the antenna part out all the way to get good reception by hand. The
car is in really good shape except for the front bumper which is
cracked, but other than that it seems to run fine. I bought this at a
dealer for $1,400.00 and it has 100K miles on it. Did I get a good
deal?. What are your thoughts?

Probably a normal deal.
Just shop around. DO NOT try to save money by wiring your new stereo
directly into the Ford wiring. Buy a Harness adapter.
Better yet, - since you only need "good" - go to Ebay and look for factory
CD/stereo.
All you have to do is look at the seller's feedback and make sure he's got a
very good track record

Re: Question about installing stereo
Chris, any DIN style CD player will fit with no kit. You do need special
keys to remove the radio. The radio should have two sets of holes on each
side of it. The keys slide into these holes and release the radio from the
dash. There is no factory cd player that was offered for the Escort that
I'm aware of. Besides that you said you were on a budget and factory radios
are expensive.
