Well my search is over. I'd like to thank everyone in this forum for giving their advice and sharing their experiences.

Each had their advantages and disadvantages. For what I was looking for I had narrowed my choices to the 94-95s and 99-00s.
I had actually found this Mustang by a mistake. I was looking through the classifieds at a site called "Lone Star Stangs". Later I fell upon a topic mentioning that a website called "Austin Area Stangs" was boycotting a business for some reason. I decided to check out the "Austin Area Stangs" site, and saw the classified and BOOM
I knew that was the Mustang I wanted.
It was priced around KBB value, plus a upgraded stereo, SCT tune, exhaust, and lowered. It was a private seller who was the original owner. He's in the military so the car wasn't being used that much. My friend who was a car dealer for 20 years gave me the
. So I made a pitch, and it was done!
My First: American, V8, Ford, Red, 5 speed(I own a 6 speed), Mustang, GT car. Killed a lot of birds with that stone.
Now to avoid a:

He had some small Superman stickers under the GT logos.......those were a pain to remove.
Like I said, he had it listed below KBB value(clear title...no wrecks/accidents). Since there was tree sap all over the right headlight, he knocked some more off the price. So now I'm looking at a new set of GT headlights. Not sure if I want GT, clear, or smoked headlights.
Here are some more pics:

81K....apparently he only put 2K within the last year. Most were highway from Austin TX to Yuma AZ...between military locations. His wife had a car, and the military gave him a rental car......so the Stang just sat there. That's why he needed to sell.
