Well guys i've almost got my license. My parents are ok with me getting a mustang. Anything in the 14-15 grand range. I really like the 2004 body styles but i'm really not sure. Any advice on which year model to get would be great! Looking to get some dencent HP out of it.

Are you dead set on the 99 - 04 style? If so there really ISNT that much of a difference between those years, some minor things but its all about what you like.

I am guessing you're wanting a GT? Or a Cobra? I'd assume so for that price range. I've seen a few 2005 and up V6 Mustangs for right around your ball park as well. One couldn't not tell you which year model would be best for YOU.

I recommend you doing quite a bit of searching in your area for Mustangs, and visit the tech sections of that specific model that you are looking for.

Welcome. Let me make a suggestion, don't try for good HP right off the bat, learn to drive it properly with stock power, then move up. I would stick with the 96-04 GT with an auto, or an 05+ V6 or GT if you can find it.

Do yourself a favor. Take your time and find the nicest and most well kept Mach1 that you can find.
