Personally, i wouldnt buy a Mustang with a V-6 (actually, i wouldnt buy a mustang at all). It's just not right. If you are going to buy a mustang, get it with a V-8.

It'd be a reliable car, I mean the 2004 was the most reliable American made vehicle (according to test data yada yada yada). V6 is a sin though, pretty pointless without the 4.6L.

I dunno lol. I've owned for myself a '79 Ford Pinto and a '89 Honda Civic. I don't think I should be stepping up from a Dinky lil 1.6L 4 Cyclinder Civic engine to an 8 Cylinder 4.8L. Probably should work my way up slowly so I don't kill myself.

It would be a good car and pretty good on gas. Not a bad deal, I'd think you could find one cheaper than that, though. The new 2005/06 models go for right at $20k with the 4.0L V6.

A used 2002 Mustang generally goes around $10,000 US for the options you're looking at. At least, that's what I see them selling for all the time around here. You won't get that from a dealer, though.

I just bought a car so Ive been watching the prices of them.
That is ridiculous to spend almost $14K american on a car with that many miles!
I just bought an 2000 Olds Alero wit 53K miles on it for half that. The car is clean as hell also. Just a few minor dings (not fixable)...
If you are really interested I would start scouring the internet car finders. Thats how I found mine.

that is very high for that car....one of our good customers here just bought an 02 mustang gt with 43000 miles on it and it is exceptionally clean for 11000.......a v-6 mustang qutie honestly may as well be any other v-6 car....taurus, malibu, alero whatever..........we bought a malibu earlier this year for 5000 with 60000 on it and it runs great.....if you want a mustang though you can find a gt for less or about the same as that....

That mustang is 50k Miles... thats 81k Kilometers. I'm sure I could haggle the price down on that, I'm gonna hit up the Ford Dealership one of these days tho and see what they got for used Mustangs. I guess I failed to even think about other mustangs in the city rofl. This is just one that I found at a Honda dealer when I was looking at Preludes.
