Hi im looking to buy a cheap car for the winter and I found a nice 96 gt.. it says it has no power windows, no power locks and no spoiler.. Is that from the factory?

Yup that sounds like a Mustang 248A package (Light weight) or also referred to as a Mustang GTS

ok thanks, just making sure the car wasnt like put together or some ****.. does a 1 owner 96gt with 81k 5 speed in good condition for 4k sound good?

Not too bad, offer 3500 and go from there
Do some searching on this forum to learn about the 96-98 power differences from the 99-04

see the thing is, i had a 93 lx5.0, a 99gt, and a 99z28 camaro... Im currently looking for a c5 vette but im going to wait till spring to buy one, so i just want to get a cheap car for the winter. Im not concerned on the speed of it, more concerned of reliability and this car seems to be pretty good.

I know NY gets snow, shouldn't you be looking for some sort of fwd or awd car or 4x4 truck?

yes longisland gets snow, but im still gunna get a mustang for the winter.. I would be getting a c5 vette but its gotta be a dd so im just gunna wait till spring for that and drive a cheap mustang for the winter. and i go to school and lets just say the kids there dont really know to how drive so its one less thing to worry about.

^^^^ Sooooooo your going to buy a Mustang for the winter when it snows because it is cheap? You do know AWD/4x4>FWD>RWD, right? And you do know a Mustang is RWD, right?

I guess I'm just lost and confused as to why you would want to buy a Mustang for winter driving when you can get a cheap fwd car that would do better in the snow then the mustang.

I know the difference between them.. Ive been driving rwd cars in the snow for the last 4 years here.... I am in the market for a c5 corvette, but i decided to wait till spring because I have no garage right now and i dont want to ruin it from the winter months.. Im not buying a mustang for the snow, im buying one because I dont want to ruin the corvette
