Ok, so it looks like in the near future i'm going to be picking up a used 02-03 GT, what is the average milage that should be on one for that age? Hope this makes sense.

 

just figure out wut ur willing to spend and find the car with least mileage on it, dont worry about the average mileage some people drive there mustangs every day and can put on 50k in that time and some people rarely drive there mustang and only put on 10k, that averages out to 30k (which might be a pretty good esitmate too)

 

True, and remeber that a car that has seen mostly freeway miles may be a much better buy than one that is just driven around town. I don't know where you are, but in California that is a consideration.

Good luck.

 

Thanks for the info. I live in Long Island NY, so its a lot of traffic.

 

just do some reasearch for cars in your area. compare the prices for the mileage given. and decide if you want to pay alittle more for a car w/ 15-20k or pay a little less for one with 50-60k. weve had our 04 since the begining of april. and just broke 5k

 

The national average is 12-15K miles per year. So based on that, a higher mileage one would have 45K miles and up. A late 2002 model with low mileage might have ~ 20K miles.

Look at the overall condition of the car as well and not just the miles. I've seen 100K mile cars look better than 20K mile ones.

Brad's vert is a great example of an extremely clean higher mileage car that has been well kept.

Good Luck!
