Hi From the u.k!!
Because most cars sold here are trash, decided to import a Mustang, to the u.k, which is best, manual or auto? will be aquiring a v6 because dont have the pleasure of cheap gas like you guys, looking for maybe a 2001 2002 model, is there anything i should be looking for? i.e any problems need to look for?

Thanks guys and girls!!

no v6....get a gt which has the v8...the gas difference isn't gonna make a huge impact...and get a manual...do you want to DRIVE!!!!! or do you want to drive?

Thanks! so what sort of return in mpg's can i expect from a v8? wouldnt be going crazy were we live thanks to all the speed cameras our city is just installing! the car i am currently driving is an opel vectra gsi v6 i get around 24 mpg taking it steady around the town.

Ok! so now you've converted me! just gotta find one now! got a budget of around $12,500 to spend, but then i have to get it over here. Will probably ship from new york, or baltimore.

Thanks!!!!

How much Is Gas over there???? My first Mustang was a GT and My Daughter had a V6 @ the time,and We went through a Tank of Gas about the same time,GT will hold it's value better than the V6.Good Luck,and Welcome to the Forums.[sm=icon_rock.gif]

The price of fuel here!!!!!!!!!!! are you sitting down? here goes, unleaded is hovering around £4.40 per gallon or in your money about $8.22, diesel around $8.00 per gallon.

We also have to pay £186.00 or $345.00 road fund licence every year this entitles you to drive on u.k roads. not bad eh!!! but it does depend on the size of engine you run, im currently running a 2.2 4cyl, knocking out around 187bhp, mind you the way this place is going we might as well all be driving mini's, a mate of mine driving a Vauxhall Omega 3.2 v6, same as your Cadilac Catera, managed to loose his licence whils on his way to work, he passed 4 Gatso's "speed cameras" totted up 12 points on his licence in 3 hours, fortunatly the judge was a really good bloke and let him off with 8 of the points, seeing as how the feds had not properly marked the cameras.

Anyway Juy 2005 Florida here we come, just come on holiday to drive the cars,
1999 drove sebring convert, 2001 Mustang v6 convert, 2003 sebring convert, next year Crysler 300m or concorde, by then Ill have 6 or 8cyl's of muscle sat on my drive.

catch yeh later!!!
