Default Is this a good first Mustang??

Hello everyone,

I'm Taylor, and I have always dreamed of having a Mustang. I've finally reached the age and financial status where my dream is possible! My budget still remains low, but I was wondering if this is a good Mustang for a good price.

http://tradesnsales.com/1997-ford-mustang-v6

I found this car on a local classifieds site, based out of Payson, AZ, that I've had a lot of success on recently! What kind of things should I be looking for in a Mustang? What should I be wary of that could significantly lower the value of a Mustang? Where are the best places to buy a Mustang? What can I do to make sure I get a Mustang of good value?

Thank you all so much for your help,

I've never had any experience with Mustangs, but ever since childhood, have always dreamed of having one!

" removed A/c for more horsepower" lol

Id get something with a/c but thats me.

Looks like a nice car but it is only a 6 cylinder nothing special..$2000 is a good price but how many miles?

Your right. It's easy these days to take decent pictures, even by accident. Seems strange.

I agree with domindart. A/C is a must have for me. 67 degrees in the middle of December over here right now

V-6 is the girls model.
Unless you are a homo get a V-8.
Much more enjoyable car.........

Is this gonna be a DD or project? What are your goals? V6..v8 whatever, a homo is somebody who can't appreciate the Heritage behind just having a mustang. 4cyl. V6 or v8 you can have fun in any of them. We have 6s and 8s and I have just as much fun in either because its the time spent, stories, and again history put into these car.

Sorry for the rambling I just get sick of mustang ppl mouthin about other mustangs in the "cylinder war game".

To be honest you need to spend like 4-5 thousand for a nice V8 but if you cant you can get a nicer high mileage car, older.
