Default New to Mustangs. How Long do they Last?

I am new to mustangs, and I want to pick up a used one for the daily commute to work.

How many miles do the engines and transmissions last? What years are good? What years are bad? Etc.?



I am looking at probably buying a 1998 or newer car. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

They last a long time if you maintain them. If not they won't last.

I would look for a 2005 and newer if I were you. The V-6 motor is fine. Has plenty of power.
