i thought sn 95 means 94-04? not just the 94-98s. my fox was taken care of and its never given me a lick of trouble its got 105k and doesn't burn any oil or anything. my friends have cars with 116, 132ish and they all burn oil and stuff. just gotta take care of what you got. even doing a head cam intake on a 150k mile 5.0 doesent scare me, do it. just dont beat the hell out of it (over revving, missing oil changes, ect) they are made to go and they dont mind doing it.

check for rust too, and talk to the owner about his beliefs in takin care of cars. if he says something like i change my oil ever 10k because i use castrol syntec, skip that car. take the oil cap off and look in there, if it looks not terrible and he says he changes his oil allot do it. check other fluids. just use your head.

there is no doubt in my mind that it is true thest Mustangs are very durable cars they hold up well and will last a long time if given the proper care especially the 5.0. which has a reputation.
