I recently was looking through the trader and found a 99 ford mustang v6 5-speed 108,xxx miles on it and it was pretty much stock with the exeption of dual exhaust. They want $5500 for it. Ive got the money, and i could buy it right now. I just was wondering if there are any high priced problems i would have to worry about. And from experience does anyone know what would need to be replaced when dealing with a mustang with high miles. Any transmission problems?? i would greatly appreciate some advice. [sm=feedback.gif]

holy cow that is alot of miles. i have a 2000 V6 with 75k on it now and i havent had any major troubles.
good luck on the purchase. just and FYI
i bought my stang last July for 6,000 and it only had 64k on it.
so thats a bit steep for that 99 i think IMHO

 

yeah i figured the price was a little steep. im gonna call the guy and see if he will bring it down to 5 or 4500. i know the guy so that might be a little advantage. im just worried about miles. ive rebuilt motors before so that wouldnt be a problem. but the tranny i dunno about it. is yours a 5 speed or an auto babygurl2000??

 

o my bad...nvm...is your 5-speed holding up pretty good???

 

yep my 5 speed is going strong. i dont drive my stang in the winter here in michigan.
i havent had any problems other than my entire brake system had to replaced in the spring but it was from moisture ( stored all winter)
that 99 shoudlnt run you more than 5k IMHO. thats alot of miles. why is he selling it?

 

I wouldn't bother man, there are plenty of good deals out there....I got my 02' v6 auto with 55K miles for $6500.
If you can talk him down a lot and your willing to maybe replace a few things overtime go for it.
The only problem I have with high mileage cars is, you can have a car last for many many miles if you take care of it right, but you have no idea how that guy treated the car, that would be my concern.

 

definately don't do it, i shopped around for months and got myself a 99 v6 coupe jet black with blue pinstripping on the sides 5spd for 4750 with 76k miles mint condition

 

I dunno I paid 10k for my 97 six in november.

It is in perfect condition top to bottom.

Came with a mach 460, K&N intake, aftermarket $300 CD player, spoiler, new spark plug wires, new plugs, and a new clutch. The car only had 75 thou miles on it.

I think I should have only paid like 7.5 for it though.

Oh and is this going to be a daily driver??

 

Ck looks like you overpayed a lot, a 97 is worth a little over 5K with that mileage with pretty much every option and in excellent condition.

 

yea the price is high. i got my 99 with 80k miles on it last october for 5grand. i have had no problems with the car except replacing the alternator when i got it.

edit: after the 05's are out now, you should be paying around 4500 for that 99, maybe less. and that is if it is in perfect condition
