Getting my first mustang, please read
I am looking at getting my first mustang gt and this is the one I am thinking of getting . what do you guys think about it? I have about $8,000 to spend and everything around that price range has 80,000 plus miles on it. does this seem like a good one to you guys? what should I be looking for when I look at the car

the car is nice the milage is good but its very ugly its green and it has cloth seat and it auto trans
when looking for a stang try to stay away from ones that have any mods at all
Listen for engine ticks
check all the body gaps
take it to a good mechanic and get i checked out
check wheel up in the wells for rubber chunks
(from doing burnouts ect.) THIS IS A BIG ONE!!
theres probably alot more i just cant think of them all lol

^ +1 private seller ftw, you can get it for less, just make sure it was someone who cared about their car... check the site there are quite a few people who sell their stangs on here. there is a for sale section.

you don't need an auto, go get you ***** from your moms purse, man up, and get a manual lol. When I got mine, that was the requirement of the next car that it be manual. You will be overall more happy, and the manuals are better trannys.

Get a manual Mustang. I have an auto and it makes the car boring to drive. The Ford auto's are dumb and give you slow granny shifts(without a tuner). BTW, I learned to drive a manual in 30 minutes and perfected it within a month. As for the color, pick the one you want and don't let us tell you otherwise. Good luck with the stang search.
