Default Hello from Arizona! Help please?

I'm shipping out to camp for Air Force in not to long and I'm going to need a vehicle. I'm a Ford guy no matter what and I have set my mind on a Mustang. I love the looks of the 1999-2004, but i love the 5.0 engine. Of course I'm getting a 5speed and id like to have a V8. Any suggestions?? All advice welcome!

Welcome to MF! .... you could always get a 2003-04 Cobra with a 6 speed!! The new 5.0's also have a 6 speed!!

Good luck

A foxbody mustang would probably be more in line with your budget with the 5.0 HO. Welcome to the forum.

There's no way I could afford a newer model Mustang. Haha I wish I could though. But I would love to have a cobra. Is there any known major problems with the Fox Body years?
Thanks!
