Yesterday a friend informed me to be careful when buying 91-93 stangs because of a defect that causes the engine's milage to turnover after 100,000 miles.

Anyone can confrim this?

Im looking at a 91 5.0 with 67k miles

I don't have a 91-93 mustang but I know someone who does and he never has mentioned anything to me about his odometer turning over after 100,000.

if uve ever been inside of a fox then u would notice its a 5 digit odo not a 6 digit so when u hit 99,999 ur odo goes back to 1. And its not a defect.

i was just gunna say its not a defect most cars from the 80's and early 90's only had a 5 digit odo just run a carfax on the car it will tell you how many miles are on it

Just out of curiousity.....how is all this reported back to where carfax gets their info?

when you register the car, you generally have to include current mileage. Same thing goes for insurance (usually.)

zero for u i see ur looking at a car with 61k well do a car fax for this vehicle and im sure ur not the second owner prop been passed around a few times so just look at car fax and if someone reg this vehicle in 2005 with 98k then u would know he has lied and that the odo has rolled. Plus if it has 61k then u shouldbe able to tell alsoif it has 161k then u should be able to tell.

my car already rolled over once and its on its way to a second one nothing wrong with a stang with 160k on it these cars last for ever as long as you treat them right(oil changes and matanance when it needs it)
