ok guys.. this has nothing to do with tractors at all, but I thought I would ask anyhow.. my dad is looking to get a new/newer car, and is really thinking about getting a mustang.. nothing over $15,000.. from a 95'-01'.. or whenever they went to the new style.. but is there anything wrong with these cars? anything to look at real close? anything at all that you can tell me would be great, so I can pass it on to him.. he is replacing a 94' nissan Altima. thanks!

I wouldn"t mind getting one, even the 90"s Mustangs are much better looking than most of the new cars today. Most of their running gear is the same as a 4.6 truck (engine, tranny and rear axle with some tweeks), so it is made to last. I do like the newer 99-04 style better but I wouldn"t call the previous style bad looking. I would give up a couple mpg for a decent looking car, 20-25 isn"t that bad.

The mustang v8s are fun to drive little cars....my family has always been into performance and speed....building some round track, but mostly drag racing cars.....If you keep the mustang in top condition they will last for ever.....we have a street driven '87...that has been at the strip almost all its life.....guess what...187,000 miles ...a '99 with 80,000 and a '92 that has been modified ,...cant count that one,we hall it to the strip,turns mid 12s..... do I need to say more.....

I have had my share of Fords, including one Mustang with it not being a true Mustang. After Ford dropped the production in the mid 70's I think 72 was last, and brought them back, never were the same. I believe in buying American, but check B4 your buy ANY newer car to see where assembled, let alone where the parts were produced. My 3/4 ton 4x4 is Chevy, but my mail route car is a 95 Toyota Corolla, my wifes is a 99. My 95 I retired B4 I bought this one had 473+ K miles on it. Would still be running it, but it took to eating alternators, IE, not an easily traceable electical problem. Best part is, many are produced with American labor. Just check the origin tag first. With fuel prices, why not consider a hybrid? If Ford is your preference, they have some now, but will admit will likely be more than 15K

A hybred costs more to operate then a car that gets even average fuel mileage, not to mention the fact your limited to the dealership for any kind of service.

The Mustang has been in continuous production since 1964. The first generation was based on the Falcon platform 64-73, the second generation was based on the Pinto platform 74-78, the third was based on the Fox (Granada) platform 79-93, the fourth generation was based on a redesigned Fox platform 94-04, and the current generation is based on a redesigned Lincoln LS platform.

The 94-2004 Mustang GTs are pretty good cars, the 4.6 engine (96-04) is tough enough to take the abuse from hot rodder drivers but was always considered underpowered compared to other manufacturers offerings. The weak point in the power train has been the 5 speed Borge/Warner, thye just could handle being abused. The 94-04 V6 Mustangs have the old Ford 3.8 and with it came the head gasket problem that was supposedly solved around 1997 or so.

you can find some pretty cheap mustangs, but seriously, you"re better off buying something that does a little better on gas. Not to mention most "stangs don"t really last 130,000 miles before major problems surface. If you get one, you are much better off buying a "00 or "01, beacuse the "95-"97s are just plain ugly.
