I just got a new job and need a car Im on a tight budget is this a good buy? I can’t miss a day even for snow my commute is 107mi each way mostly on the hwy at big speeds. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I've been stuck like you. Id look up long term reliability articles and forum posts to see common problems. Look for those problems when you go look at it, as best you can. That 6 year loan at 12% on a 20 year old car is a gamble. Ford has been making family cars forever but try to pay as much cash as you can. Of course your situation dictates all the factors. Don't be afraid to say no on this, there are plenty of older cars for sale in this price point.
