I would think it would be used.
I think that these cars are money pits and to get it as a first car.......but hey to each their own. I love building up mine though,
How are they money pits? A 93 GT 5.0 gets like up to 22 mpg? Are there other factors, besides upgrades, I can handle those types of things.

I get about 25mpg in my car, also they are called money pits, because these are 20+ year old 80s american build quality rides, you fix one thing something else breaks, its a never ending battle to keep these cars in running order
Umm, first off I'm pretty sure I was just asking him if it was real advice. I am a, "newbie", which is why I made this post, so you are the one who is quick to call anyone anything. I appreciate his comment and know that he wasn't being a dick, which is exactly why I asked. Also, mstngsule68, I thought you were telling me to look for a car with those things in it, that's why I thought you were being a dick, but I see that you were telling me to stay away from it. Thank you much and I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.

settle down noob, and welcome to the forum....don't take this the wrong way but if your dad had any sense he wouldn't be giving a 16 year old kid any keys to a 5.0 but if he does hopefully you'll be responsible

Yeah, I was raised a lot different than most teens out there trust me, my mom and my dad will and don't ever have to worry about me being responsible, but yeah I completely understand and thank you, hopefully when I get my car next year I can post some pic's and details. Thanks for all the help!
I agree with 86...a 5.0 is a huge money pit and not the wisest choice for a first car... I say get a beat up pos for like 200 bucks and learn how to drive in that... that way if you wreck it, no worries... its just a pos... not something nice...
and in the 1 year and 9 months Ive owned my mustang, Ive put nearly what I paid for the car in maintenance/replacement parts and I bought a fox that was in good shape... keep that in mind sensors burn out, gaskets crack, seals dry out, vacuum lines break, parts break, some vandal cuts a hole in your convertible top unless you pull the car apart (like some members have) its a never ending cycle of fix this, replace that.... I was talking with my mom today... every "mod" Ive done to the car was because something broke or was worn out the only thing I did to the car so far that I "didnt" need was the Cobra grille and my subframe connectors... my newer catback= PO did nasty sidepipes, my new clutch= I burned out the old SPEC stage II that was in it...and it goes on...
and remember, you never get back what you put into them...ever....
