Hey guys i found this 99gt and it looks good, cept it has 135k. Anybody on here have experience with these engines with high miles? When do you guys usually replace them?

I have an 02 with 100k on it. I put almost 70 miles a day on it for over a year because of my job. The car still runs great, I'm a little more cautious now. If the car was taken care of, I don't see a problem other than just being aware of the miles.Have you had a chance to drive the car? If you have a buddy who knows a little about these cars, have him go with you to check it out.

u cant really pound on it like u could with one with low miles. and probably dont want to do any upgrades because most likely u wont have the car that long. thats my 2 cents.

these engines can last a long time if taken care of. When you check out the car look for the little things. See how the engine bay looks. Check out the paint job. Check to see if the door jams and running boards are clean. Also make sure to ask him whats been replaced on the car. Coil packs are a problem on stangs so see if they were replaced. Maybe see if he will let your mechanic take a look at the car before you buy. When you are test driving the car check and see how the tranny feels.

when i bought my car ive never seen a more clean engine bay in my life. it was like if the car was brand new, everything worked on it.

165K on the clock. I bought my car when it had 100K on it, and I've beat the **** out of it for the past two years. All I do is keep up on the maintenance. It's great.

I bought my stang with 79,000 Miles on it and i just crossed the 100,000 mark, ha kinda depressing but really i keep up on all the maintence and it runs better then i bought it. I still beat on it when needed ha never hurts. So i say if the body is good. You should get it, you always can drop a new engine into it.
