nice car, no doubt about it. but if thats the exact one you're looking at i would say forget it. you're paying so much for an insane amount of miles already on it to start. for that many miles you could get a car for 1,500. but if its not, then i like it. but then again, i still don't have a car so i like alot of things.

Whoa whoa whoa...that's some pretty high mileage. The car looks clean, but imagine how much wear and tear is that car. That price says alot too. Its pretty cheap. I have a 96 escort that I could sell for that price. I don't know. I wouldn't trust this one. Plus, its only a 4-cylinder and its suppose to be a sporty car.

This is my 3rd car....It ISNT that car the one I got is red...Pretty descent...

my 1st car-1989 mustang owned it less than one day transmission went out and just returned it
2nd car-1993 ford probe-Still runs just currently wrecked it and cheaper to get a newer car
3rd car-1999 hyundai tiburon just got it love it but cant afford the payments :(

Some people have said it is pretty cool but today as I got out of my car told me it was gay and it looked like a can opener...Whatever looks cool to me :).

Plus I got an awesome warranty
3 years/36000 miles on everything major on the car and little things as well so if anything goes wrong im set.

good point there jdelts...i always got a kick out of those kids who thought they were hardcore with their 4 cylinder automatic mustangs and would peel out everywhere and always made sure they reached 40mph within 20ft of hitting the gas

4 cylinder mustangs? I may be too young for this, but as long as ive worked with cars, ive only seen mustangs with 6 or 8 cylinders mang....maybe you're talking about hondas and acuras...but like i said any mustang i've seen wouldn't dare dream of being 4 cylinder

tex-80's-early 90's mustangs were majority 4 cylinders.

To bad im not one of those kids who think they are bad ass....It gets great gas mileage and thats all I need....Im driving about 60-80 miles a day for school so I dont need anything big...Suits me fine w/ the $1.89 gas prices.

you're right...i have never worked with a mustang from then...i worked with one from 67, and even one in the seventies. I owned one that was a 99. my friend owns a 94. All that i've touched never were a 4 cylinder...guess i just hadnt come in contact with one thats why i wasn't sure

side note: also, when i raced my M3, i'd go to car shows, and there you'd only see V8 mustangs...heh..guess i was right when i said 'i may be too young for this'. Granted i was born in the eighties, but i didn't work on cars till i was 16..and even then it was only working on friends cars, or cars that i own

Yeah 80-94 I think were 4 cylinders they did have the 5.0 but majority rules in that case which explains why mustangs sucked back then....

Some 4 cylinders can kick the schiznit out of 6 cylinder cars a$$. It's all in the way they were made to perform, and what modifications (in some cars cases) you have made to the engine. My dream though would be to own a 12 cylinder austin martin Vanquish (the newer one they came out with), that car is sweet.

acura integra type R, or an acura RSX type S, or an acura integra GSR (all inline fours) always beat the 6 cylinder mustangs when id go racing (back when i owned a GSR), Then i got the I6 (M3) and i didn't really focus on the I4s unless they tried to race me.

Yeah, ive seen a couple 5.0Ls which is what my friend has, so yeah. Alright well i learned something new lol...

I still want a viper, no matter what anyone says about them...i still used to drool over them when i was little....not much has changed...it was my original dream car.

Hey, the Viper was my first dream car. I wouldn't complain about having one in the driveway either, probably would drop dead of a heart attack if I got one.:)

Technically I bought it $5400 but I got a 2 year warranty on it that cost almost 2 grand so that boosted it around $8000 I sold it for $7500 and got a free golf membership tot he country club here in my town (which usually goes for like 6 grand) :big_smile:
