Do yourself a big favor and look for better condition, lower mileage Mustangs.

Based on this thread and the pics, I think it is safe to assume you are on a limited budget. Been there, done that. I lived on rice, beans, hot dogs, bread, peanut butter and eggs in a tiny apartment for a VERY long time.

You do not want to purchase anything even remotely like the ones you referenced here. Those two were basket cases.

When you find a better example, perhaps when you can afford something better, please take the vehicle to a shop for a pre-purchase inspection. That will cost you no more than 2 hrs of shop labor.

I disdain being a broken record here, because I've posted this so many times. If you cringe at the thought of the cost of a pre-purchase inspection, you cannot afford the vehicle in the first place.

Best Wishes

Reading all of these comments gives me the information i need to know about looking for a new mustang... For this I very much appreciate all of your guys tips and suggestions.. To respond to your statement it's not that I'm persay in a budget when looking for a new pony as much as I'm trying to find the best bang for my buck.. I just finished my last project car and it's time for me to find something new for me to work on.. I am looking for a fixer upper mustang that's not in 100% condition so I have some things to work on.. Only reason why I'm asking so much questions, is with my previous project I was told a simple engine tune up would make it the ultimate off roading beast (upgraded nissan xterra).. Yea well turns out the engine was held up by a thread and i had to do a whole engine rebuild on it.. spent way to much money and time on that suv.. What I am hopefully trying to do is get me a good looking pony with some minor problems so I can spend a lower amount and fix me up a good working car.. Once again I appreciate all the tips you guys have suggested me and hope to get more from yall!
Thanks!

I'll definitely keep my eye out for better condition Mustangs.. I wasn't real fond of these two myself but the price they were offering seemed good for what the car is..

Hello yall! I found another mustang I'm hoping you guys could give me your opinion on.. Keep in mind i am looking for something not In 100% condition so I can get a good deal on it..This car had 135,000 miles and according to the owner runs perfectly.. Only problem is it got in a little fender bender and bent the hood back.. Here's the deal though, is it possible for the hood to he bent back into shape? Because I don't wanna spend 600$ on a new hood for me to have to paint match it and put a new stripe on it.. does it look repairable? Anything else I should look into just going off of looks? Any tips would be appreciated!

Hello yall still looking for another deal but got to talking with the owner of the Grey and green mustang and the lady showed me that's it's been getting it's service done at a shop and has the carfax of the previous owners service history.. I learned more that it's the 4.0 v6 and the fender bender was due to the owner not paying attention while in rush hour traffic and rear ended a suv.. from what the owner said and I'm not taking their word on it it's only the grills and bumper/hood that got damaged.. all the internal supports are still in tact.. didn't know if this info changes thing but if it seems like a good deal then I'll schedule to take a very careful detail look at it...

Look, there's no way for anyone to know how bad the damage is until the front end is taken apart. What she's telling you is what she wants you to think. She has no idea. I can tell you that it's not going to be as minor as you think it is. Nor will it be as cheap to fix unless you do it all yourself but you'd still need someone to paint. The hood is probably toast. The bumper impact absorber is at the very least broken and guaranteed there are other parts unseen that also need to be replaced. Even then it's a only a v6 and not a GT. It doesn't have the value there to fix it unless you get it dirt cheap.
