Arrow need advice soon

Hello all, I need your advice. I have an opportunity to purchase a 94 Mustang. It has the 5.0 with a 5 speed stick. The guy is wanting $3000 for it. The motor and transmission feel very strong on the test drive. He said it has the 3.73 gears in it. Says it gets about 22mpg. Body is in very good shape. What can go wrong with this year car that I need to be aware of. I am planning on talking to him this monday so any quick advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

anything that can go wrong with any other car.....what is specific to one car isn't always the norm for another nor does it mean the same will happen to your car

true. when dealing with a fifteen year old car theres always the chance of having a prob. if the car wasnt dogged then you have found a pretty good deal.

Just because its 15 years old doesn't mean its going to have problems either. Sounds like a good deal, go for it.

I guess I am looking for problems that pertain to the 94 model specifically. Such as motor problems, transmission, or cooling system problems. Any thing such as recalls also. Thanks for any help.
