hey thanks..
the guy selling this is going to take care of all that before he passes it on to us.
is there anything else i should be aware of ... is it expensive/reliable - compared to a civic ? (this is the car that i currently own)
The 3.8L V6 Ford Mustang is the most reliable, most durable car Ford Makes.
It beat Civic last year with only 5 problems per 100 cars. And beats civic for in any durability measure.
Look on the road. you'll see a lot more old Mustangs than old Civics. The technology is 25 year old, and all the bugs have been worked out. It's cheaper to service, and while the stick axle can get annoying, it's more durable and easier to align than an IRS.
It uses U-Joints, which are more durable and less expensive to repair than CV joints, and you don't have to take off the fender & front suspension to change the starter, alternator, etc.
