Someday

Hi, all! I'm a service member recently stationed in Italy. My wife and I brought her Subaru Forester with us and left my Dieselgate Jetta Sportwagen (JSW) behind in the States to sell it back to VW.


We return to the States in 18-19 months and I'll need a car. So I'm looking to fulfill my childhood dream of owning a Mustang. I created this account so that I can learn exactly what I'm getting myself into!


I wrench. I am technically inclined. But my cars have been pretty bland. I've gone from a '74 Olds Toronado (I miss her ) to a '99 Ford Contour Sport to an '02 Saturn to the '11 JSW I have today. I'm looking to spice things up with a red '94 convertible with a manual transmission.


I'm looking forward to digging in and learning what to look out for before I make my big buy. Thanks in advance for the help.

Welcome to the forum and thanks for your service to this country.

Good luck with the search when you get back....

Thank you! I know the SN95 isn't the favorite of most Mustang fans but she came out when I was in high school and it was love at first sight.


As far as Mustangs go I've only ever driven two. A '66 I took on a test drive when I was a teen and a '16 vert that I rented for a day this past summer as a little reward for myself after finishing a three-week class. I drove it with the top down most of the way from Virginia Beach, VA to Fort Meade, MD by way of Silver Spring and Annapolis. That was the day I realized I really need to buy my own.
