Sold my 92 LX hatch a few weeks back and im looking for a 94-95 5.0. I came across this car for sale, the price is right and it looks nice, motor looks stock. I dont have any specifics on it yet but from what you can see what do you think, would this make a nice first SN95 5.0?

oh wow, a stock 5.0...

I bet that strut tower brace hasn't even been off that thing.

looks pretty clean. As long as it runs ok I'd say that's a deal for 5 grand

I bought my 95 GT in 2003 for $6500 from a dealer with 60k on the clock. Now i realize its 4 years later so all 94-95's are gonna have more mileage....but 132k seems like a lot. But then again, $600 can get you a 70k mile Explorer motor.


Did u notice its a GTS? Are your familiar with that model?

it is a gts (cool factor), but that seems like too many miles for that price.

that price seems a little high. when i bought my GTS about 1.5 years ago it had 140k on it and i paid $3800 for it. and it was as mint as you could get.

Thats a little closer to what i'd expect to see price wise for those miles....

Ok. On this one ..you should get them down and leave unless you get your preset price (in your mind). I bought my vert a coupla years ago for $4200 with about the same mileage...leather. o yea and GTS is cool.

I paid $3300 for my car with a broken odometer. It was estimated at around 115K though.

And another thing. It says it has anti-lock brakes. If it is a GTS then it does not have anti-lock brakes. That is the ONLY option you could not get with a GTS.

How can I tell that it is a real GTS? im not to concerend with the milage as it wont be a daily driver, really a weekend car. 132k is really nothing for a 5.0 its like half its life.

I say its a little high too. They'd probably take less though.

the steering wheel is not wrapped in leather, and it looks like it has manual windows to me.

Unless the paint was flawless, which it is probably not, that is a rip off.

ha! point blank statement right there. you can't even argue a point like that.

I just don't understand everyone's love for gts' - unless you're deliberately buying a stang to make it go 8 seconds in the 1/4 mile, i bought my stang on the fact that it was absolutely fully loaded... hell, if you get a gts - might as well buy one that isn't stock, i would think.

point i'm trying to make, bone stock mustangs are the worst money pits.
for what you want to spend, you can get one that should have all, if not some, of the toys with it already. only buy a stock mustang if you're planning on putting the car on blocks when it already has no miles, throw it in your grandma's garage and come back 31 years later.

132k is nothing for a stang YOU've owned its whole life and kept care of.....


But for a mustang with a unknown previous owner....i would not say thats its halfway point.....

I am with you on this one. granted i have one, but the only reason i bought mine was because it had power window, locks, and defrost. had it been crank windows i would of walked right away. IMHO for something that i am going to just drive around i would want it to be loaded out.
