As strange as it sounds, I need a car for only the next 3-4 months. With that, Im looking @ a 99 GT coupe w/ 145K miles on it. Granted Im only going to have it for a few months....but how reliable are the 4.6's with that many miles????
my opinion is reliability would be pot luck. it could be OK but that's a lot of mileage. if you need a temp car look for anything with less miles and as cheap as possible. Good luck
Yeah, not sure I'd go with a Stang for that short of time. Be more hassle than its worth making sure its in decent shape. Why not just pick up an older compact car with less than 100k for much cheaper. You paying cash....or will you just be trying to sell it in a few months? Talk with Hertz....might be easier and cheaper just to rent a car for a few months.
The 4.6 motor is very reliable and 145k is not a lot of miles for it, BUT the fact that it is in a mustang, it is much more likely that it has been beaten on. If it was a crown vic, or a tbird, I'd feel more secure about it.

If you get a mustang and drive it for 3 or 4 months you would not want to get rid of it. I would go with a cheaper gas saver for something to drive around!
