Sorry if mis catagorized but im lookin for.my first car and i really want a mustang but my budget is 7k and i found this http://collegestation.craigslist.org...761017800.html idk if i should just keep looking or go for this one cause its hard to find a mstang under 7k thats actually looks really good

 

130,000 miles is a lot. If I were you, I'd look for an sn95. You can find a V6 with less miles or a GT with around the same mileage both for around $7k.

 

I agree with Skylar. I know it's difficult, but take some time the find the right car. There're out there, in good condition, and at a good price.

 

Avoid these mistakes: do not get a v6. Do not get an auto. Try not to buy one that's heavily modified. I would suggest a 96-98 cobra. That's definitely in your budget. The mod bug will almost definitely hit you and you won't want to get stuck in a slow boring turd. Miles aren't too big a deal. Just go over it and you might need to spend like $500 to make it a reliable daily drive ie: brakes, hoses, thermostat, belts, etc. just my two cents.

 

5 grand and you can have my car. I'm in Denton tx

 

I'll give you a 100 GRAND for it

 

There's nothing wrong with a V6. In my experience, a extremely reliable, strong motor with a lot of potential.

But a 96-98 Cobra is a great choice

Personally, I would buy modded though. A lot cheaper in the long run.

 

I really never like the mustangs before 99 i think that the changes they did made it look alot better never really the 96 or 98

 

Then you wont like my car lol... Still first 5 grand gets it!

 

There is if you like to go fast. And buying someone else's heavily modded car usually turns out to be a nightmare. Buy one and find out.

 

Why are you selling it?

 

Cant afford it no mo.... Hate to see simple thing that need fixin that i cant afford.. Like foggy headlights.. Easy fix.. But i cant afford it. Not for a few years anyway. Then i can get a new toy once the wife graduates college and starts workin.

 

Ahh thats weak. Sorry to hear that. If they totaled my car I'd consider making the drive. Good luck selling it though.

 

Haven't bought one, but have had friend who did with no problems. You just have to look over it carefully and scrutinize it.

 

I dont hide stuff when i sell a car. If there is an issue i tell you

 

Yea I hear ya. You really have to know what you're looking at though.

 

I do buy here pay here lol

 

Never settle. Get what you want. I also feel that mileage on the CL car is too high and there will be problems sooner than you think. You want the Mustang ownership experience to be a pleasant one, not one filled with repairs and downtime, never mind the expensive bills. Save up if you have to. You get what you pay for 99 out of 100 times. Best of luck!
