Ok and what are the common problems with the fox style stangs? And what are the common problems with the 94/95s?

 

what area are you in, since prices vary. And why not get a 6-8grand Fox thats in great condition/lower miles. or is there a reason you cant spend all 8grand.

like in so cal you could get this, its nice for that price id say. with only 40k miles.

2000 mustang

 

A lot of the foxes are trashed or just worn out from being old, usually the interior goes first with the center armrest breaking and the seats fading.
Problems with the 94-95's is that they are harder to modify because of the computer and parts are harder to find.

 

I would buy that 2.3 if you are looking for a project. Also, if it's still available. That way you can go nuts with a build. Make some carbuerated monster, or run a 5.0 FI swap on it. Just don't try to swap a 6 cyl 87-93 to an 8 cyl as the K member is different. Not impossible, but it turns out to be a pain, and probably cost you more time and money. Personally, I think that 94-98 are the ****tiest looking Mustangs ever made, but you could probably invest some of that cash into a 95 Cobra if you like that style. I have a friend with one, and it goes pretty good. Nothing like my built fox, but for a mostly stock car it is not bad.

 

Thats what I think too. I really love the older stangs. They will be easier to work on, cheaper, and they just look better! So if I find one in good condition I'll probably go for that.
And I dont want to spend all 8 grand on the car because I have to pay for insurance and any mods that I have in mind.
I live in Saskatchewan, Canada and cars seem to be a bit more expensive here than they are in the states =/

 

5.0 cars arent slow and for 8k buy a 4th gen

 

Ah i see, Canada, the country of expensive cars[8D] well then yeah those cars should be good for what yourlooking for if you include taxes,insurance, and mods as long as they run fine

 

The problem with a typical 20 year old Canadian car is they are usually rusty from road salt.

Check the floors and front frame.

 

After looking at those Cobras, that 260hp seems very tempting. Are the cobra's a good car?

 

I've heard the 99 Cobras suck but other than that I have not heard anything at all about poor reliability or anything like that on Cobras.
