Opinion on Mustang GTs?
« on: May 12, 2003, 08:14:18 PM »
I'm considering buying a new Mustang GT with the 4.6L engine. Has anyone had one for a period of time? I'm interested in reliability, gas mileage, maintenance, etc.

I have a 99 V6 and I dont think the car is builtb that well at all - my cousind 1995 integra is holding up better.  I like my car because i wanted a mustang for a long time but its really not that great a product from ford.  Soon they will come out with a 100% brand new stang based on modern components and technologies. The current mustang is built on a development of a cheap 1970s family sedan frame.. :eek:  I think the new models will be much better. :D

MSRP:
$18,320 - $39,405

From base V6 to Cobra.

Figure a GT coupe in the 24K plus area.

Don't.

"New" means you lose 3 grand off the lot IF you get it in the sweet spot below sticker, and a Mustang isn't really a Toyota Camry for instance in reliabilty, mtx, or mileage. Just start a thread in the FGB forum, my brother will get you anything from a low miles 5 series BMW, to a 4Runner for dealer cost trade-in rip-off goodness, far
less than a GT. Ive had my GTP for over a year, and it still blue books $2000 over what I paid and beat it for all this time.

RX7 <----- Mustang killer :D :D

Don't buy a stang. They're so TYPICAL!

if you're gonna spend the money go all out and buy an 4WD Mitsubishi Evo VIII. I guarantee you'll be happy.

Get a Mini Cooper S.  Its cheaper, quicker (well... not close, but I can pretend) and chicks dig it.  Plus, it will take corners so hard you can actually eject passengers through the drivers side window.

The Evo VIII is tasty if you're into real driving. The Scooby Doo is looking better these days too.

I already have a turbo charged Euro car that's expensive to maintain ;) I'm looking for something American that goes thru tires really fast and won't break my bank :)

The Mustangs are great... had 2 of em and they were relatively troublefree..  Ask any mechanic about mustangs..  they are one of the most reliable cars out there... that's why you see so many of em .. that, and the fact that they are fast... very fast... and rear wheel drive with bulletproof suspensions and and transmissions... no wimpy cv joints or front wheel drive bull..

Mustangs are cheap hop ups... they can be made even faster and better handling.   Way more bang for the buck than any other car out there.   You will probly have to put a battery in every 3 years and replace rear tires every 5-10 thousand miles... the cars will spin the tires in third.    you can replace the shocks every 5 years or so... or not.   Smog crap needs replacing every smog check... that gets annoying.
