Hello, i have about decided my new vehicle will be a mustang, late 90's model. I have a 1990 gmc right now, 172000 miles, and it has had the motor blow (then rebuilt) and 2 transmissions go out (also had them rebuilt). I am selling it to get something else. I DO NOT want another vehicle that will do that. I know mine isnt a lemon either, all are like that. I am just curious to see the mileage on your cars, and list any problems you have had (for example, blown motor or transmission). Thanks.
Post mileage and any problems you have had

Almost 60k and for the most part only the normal TR-3650 stuff, a squeaky ToB, and some minor interior issues. Not too bad IMO considering I beat the piss out of this car.
2002 - 46,000 miles
At 10,000 the rear tail shaft seal went (warranty)
At 42,000 the cam shaft position sensor sent an error code. Needed a new sensor and a new alternator (apparantly there was some intereference between the reprogrammed ECU and the old alternator) (warranty).
I drive like a grandma 80% of the time.

-No mechanical issues
-Had a bad tire- under warranty
-Convertible top leaked- under warranty
Otherwise, I love this car. The only thing I would trade it for is an '03/'04 Cobra, or a new convertible (Mustang, of course).
I will drive a car with minor annoyances before I ever settle for import cr*p...
(hmm, I was going to use another word for import, but it is censored... )

2002 GT
so far it has:
1) loud drivers side window motor, but it only makes noise coming down.
2) Strange moan from rear during initial takeoff (either rear brakes or rear end needs work)
3) Squeaky TOB thats too common with stangs
4) replaced alternator twice, though once you switch over to the reman's its rule of thumb they usually only last a few months, which is why they come with lifetime warranty.

150k or so on the 98.
I've had the intake crack (which was a recall though I replaced it myself.
Transmission needed rebuilt after 125k miles or so. I lost 1st and 2nd gear though automatics aren't going to last forever so it wasn't too bad. Runs great now
Most of the items that I had to replace were items that eventually do wear done. I replaced motor mounts since they began to go bad. I will need to do some front suspension bushings eventually since I am getting some popping finally. I have replaced the fuel pump as well.
It has been a pretty good car that hasn't left me stranded but once, which was when the fuel pump just shut off when I was driving

99 GT-82k miles
Cracked Intake
Power Steering Pump went
Clutch
Idler Pulley started shooting sparks (too tight)
Rear End needed all new bearings
All of the neglect-everything except for the intake was caused by miscare by the former owner who I know and took it to a local dealer to get everything replaced and it looks like they overdid a few things.......
The intakes crack at the crossover and puke coolant everywhere.....A simple $200 part for a stock replacement.
