184000 mileage. is that good?
Hello everyone,
I wanna buy a preowned 2005 ford mustang convertible. Everything seems to be fine with it, the only thing that i am wondering about is that it has a mileage of 184000.
Is that still good? What things do i need to take into account taking in consideration that mileage?
Thanks for your answers

Welcome to the forum.
184,000 isn't *good* but I don't know if that qualifies for being "bad." It's guaranteed that things will start to fail no matter what brand of vehicle it is.
Take into account the price. If you aren't qualified to assess the mechanical condition then it would be wise to hire someone to do so for you. This is all common sense stuff as with any vehicle purchase.
I wouldn't touch it, buy my financial situation and yours are likely different. Only you can answer that.

Just because you want a "new" car doesn't mean you *have to* buy the first one you see. If this doesn't feel right keep up the search - you'll find the right one.
I don't know what your situation is but maybe you could save up a bit more so something with lower mileage would fit your budget better.

That is a lot of miles. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. I can give you an example though.
I just bought my 06 GT about 6 months ago. I got it for right around 14,000 with 59,000 miles on it. One owner, no accidents. There is a small dealership in town selling a 2005 convertible v6 with 29,000 miles on it for 13 grand, and another dealership had a 2007 GT for 10 grand and it had 100,000 miles on it. I live in Texas.
I do not know what your price range is but there are some great car buying sources on the web like kelly blue book and consumer reports.
