Default Buying a Mustang with 120K miles

Hi guys

My car just died on me beyond repair. Ive been saving up because I want a mustang. Most of what I can find in my area are mustangs (looking for a 00-04) that have upwards of 110K miles and as Ive never owned a Mustang before, I'm not sure if thats a great move or not. I really needed to get a car within the next few days and I've seen some really clean ones - its just that they have a lot of miles. I know its impossible for anyone to give me an accurate answer unless they see the car personally, but just an opinion is all that Im really asking for. Thanks for any help.

as long as it was taken care of, fluids changed regularly, and maintained than it could go from well over 120k, upwards of 200k plus. so just make sure it was taken care of and you should be fine

I'd say its a hit or miss, I bought my GT at 121k and I had $7,100 in repairs within the first month, but I know a guy at my school who has one with I beleieve 157k (had it sense he was 16) and it still runs perfectly fine.
