Just joined the forum because I'm contemplating purchasing a 2000 Mustang V6. The last Mustang I owned was a 1977 Mustang Mach I, V6, w/ 4spd. and dual exhaust (see avatar). Lots of fun as a kid and now my Daughter, who is a new driver, loves Mustangs...so here we go.

I would be interested in hearing about the pro's and con's of this car particularly the 2000 model year with a v6 ( Hopefully it is a little more sprited than my 1977). I'm pretty handy with a wrench so I'm not afraid of tackling just about anything. The car has 150K miles on it, it has an automatic transmission and its a convertable.

Known issues with this particular car as identified by seller:
Starter is intermitent
Shifting cable needs to be replaced
Everything else is reported to be in good working condition aside.
Exterior condition of vehicle is typical for a 12 year old urban car, a couple of bumper scapes and a couple surface rust spots on winshield frame above the windsheild.

I would greatly appreciate any comments and recommendations.

as in spirited im assuming you're referring to some pick up in go. You won't find that in many v6 mustangs, with that said if it's going to be for your daughter it wouldn't be a bad choice

If you want a V6 Mustang with any power you have to go with 2011 and up. But, like LAVA said, if it's for your daughter and she's a new driver it'll be a good starter car and a good looking one too. The V6 Mustangs are pretty damn unreliable too though, while V8's last forever.
