Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy a 95 Mustang GT and had a question about the reliability of the engine and transmission.

The car is a 95 Mustang GT (5.0, 5 speed manual) which is being sold by the original owner. The car has 202,000 miles on it, which has me a bit worried, but the owner has all the records of service done at the Ford dealership. Would this be a good buy? I've talked him down to $2100, which seems fair.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

 

welcome to the forums....

 

the price is great, but 202k would worry me. I dont know much about that generation of 5.0, but i would assume parts would be easy to find due to how popular it was. I could be wrong, maybe someone else can chime in.

personally, i would save the $ and save more to buy something with under 150k

 

That a lot of wear and tear on a car not only engine but suspension, look to do a lot of work

 

Welcome.

 

welcome.

Miles are high, but being that the seller is the original owner is nice. I'd suggest looking around at others to see what you're getting for the money as a comparison.

Good Luck.

 

Welcome

 

Thanks for all of the welcomes, and sorry for the late replies, I've been pretty busy with school and work.

So I ended up buying the car. The owner was able to provide me with all the service records back to the day he bought it (the folder is about 4 inches thick). The engine runs smooth but if you run it hard, you can tell that it's got some miles on it. Other than that, there are some minor issues with paint, but no dents.

I'll try to get some pictures up as soon as I clean it up.

 

post pics for sure.....good price...and as far as putting money into it...of course it's a mustang, we all put money into our rides...why buy a stang to leave it as is ?

 

Well put! I'm not afraid throw money at it, I saw a good deal and took it. Pics should be up later today.
