96 OR 98
alright guys im stuck between two cars one has looks and high milage and the other has low milage and not so much of look as the other....
here it is the 98 is yellow with black drift r rims and baer brake kit that is fully loaded with black leather and is a stick but it has 185,000 on the clock but doesnt look like it at all because it looks brand new and same with the leather also it has the mach sound system and its selling for $5200.......
the 96 is orange/redish and it is an auto leather and is also loaded its an auto and it has 80,000 on the clock with the tan leather and also looks super clean and is going for 5500 obo.....
i love the yellow and the look its so sick and how clean it is but the mileage is holding me back
and i like the 96 because of the low mileage and also the how clean it is
any imput would be great thanks guys!!!!!

RE: 96 OR 98
Personally, I do not think rims and a brake kit and a few other things are worth giving up 100,000 miles. The 96's engine is PROBABLY in better condition. It would suck to get the high mileage motor, suspension, electrical system, etc. and always have to replace things every other week, it adds up...been there...done that.

RE: 96 OR 98
not everybody has enough money to get a 99, everytime people ask a question about non pi mustangs everybody thinks they are junk and just not waste your money on them, well cobras are better than pi 4.6 so should you guys just not waste your money on the gt's, 96 sounds like it's better b/c of the miles, i wouldn't buy a car withover 150,000 miles on, keep looking around you should be able to find a low mileage 5 speed for about 5k-6k, and if you have enough money 8k would probably buy you a 99 with 75k-100k miles on it with the pi engine which adds 45 hp but 96-98 are nice too

RE: 96 OR 98
i would keep looking around. you can find better deals. i bought my 98 triple black vert with 115 on the clock for 5500. the deals are out there, you just have to find them. don't rush into buying a car that you're not 100% happy with.
as for the 180xxx miles, think of it this way. you're going to take a loan out for let's say 4 years. so in four years how many miles are you going to put on that car? if it's you're daily driver, you'll probably put on a good bit. you'll never be able to sell that car for enough to pay off you're loan and there's a good chance it will die on you in 4 years. i don't think that car is worth that much money at all.
