well if I did this I would have to give up my 99 v6 with only 45k on it! So since im going off to college I want a GT sure but I want a reliable car as well....but I heard if you take care of small block fords how they should be they will last 200k plus miles.

"new baby" seems to be the reason all guys sell their 5.0's. My ex manager sold his 10 sec mustang back in 1996 i believe for under 6k because of an unexpected kid =/ I'd do what pro50 did, slap that child seat in the back and go for it

theres no vin

i would run a carfax before buying it

mustangs only have 5 digit odometers

i drove a 91 GT and the guy said it was LOW MILEAGE 89k all original

BULL****! ran a carfax turns out the odometer had rolled over 7 years ago and was really a 190k mile car. guy wanted $3000 for it and it looked like a real 89k mile. (nice paint, good interior).

motor was throwing oil codes but he said the sensors were bad (yea ok..)

do your research before you buy
