Default Newbie here, need some advice

hey there, i was thinking about getting a 88-93 302 stang. i have wanted one for a couple years, but i am in college and short on cash. i had a 94 f150 with a 302 in it and it ran great, never had any major problems. i am wondering if the mustangs with 302 are going to be low mainentance like my f150, or is it going to be a high mainentance vehicle. I was hoping to find one that was mostly stock, previously a daily driver car, and thats what i would need it for as well. i love the look and sound and performance of the fox body mustangs and can't wait to have one. but i just don't have any friends who have had one, and i can't really ask the person who is selling it how reliable it will be, because obviously, they have their own agenda. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In Christ,
Dan W.
