my rear away bar broke on my 95. Overall, I love the car. I have had some probs, but I can also say that a lot of them weren't the car's fault. It just seems like mustangs are high maintenence. I had an 89 and it needed for attention that the average woman......

in my experience the 5.0 is incredibly reliable. i have an 89 with 215k on it. i'm kind of new to this, so i don't know if anything was changed about the engine by 95. but thats my opinion

4k is a good price if the miles are low and its been well taken care of. so far i think 5.0s are very reliable, iv had my 93 5.0 for over a year, about to hit 100k on the odo and she has never let me walk or had any problems and runs and drives like new. its a great car and engine.
