Talking New Member! Looking for advice on first Mustang purchase!

Hey guys! Just stumbled across your forums and thought I would sign up! Been looking for some new wheels lately, and have always been in love with Mustangs I had a few ideas, as money is always an issue nowadays I didn't wanna go to gung ho with my first stang, and spend 15 - 20 grand so I thought "I love the old foxbody's", (90 - 93 Mainly), and the late 90's Cobra's as well. Any thoughts on purchasing something along these lines!? Thanks!!

Welcome aboard. Looking for a 90-93 Stang is a great idea as they have tons of potential and can be had for a reasonable price. Good luck with your search.

Welcome dude. Not to be all negative, but if money is an issue, buying a Mustang is never a good idea, it's a money pit fo-sho. Case in point, there's a dude on here that spent over $100g's on his 2000-something convertible, and he's selling it for $25,000 or so.(been sitting on it for a few months too). That being said, you don't do it for the return on the money, and I think if you're spending 15 to 20 grand you'll get a nice Fox for the money. Better yet, offer dude $20,000 and see if he takes it. lol

Thanks for all the welcomes guys!! Sorry Apocalypse Pony, I meant that 15 - 20G is not what I wanted to spend on the first purchase. Overall Income is not bad at all, I just need a set of wheels ASAP to get to work, so right now I got a budget of about 6500 - 7000 for the car. Money wise in the future though im not worried price wise for mods/engine and rebuilds! My real question is, would it be worth getting an older 5.0 and putting a new engine into it? Or an old Cobra?

I think if you're spending that much on a Mustang, try to get a New Edge (99-04). You can find them in that price range, and remember if you're able to spend 7000, you can talk a guy down from 8000 to 7000 fairly easily, so look at some priced between 7000 and 8000, and get the best deal you can. Here's a couple examples I found on Kijiji in BC.

2002 Ford Mustang GT Coupe - British Columbia Cars For Sale - Kijiji British Columbia Canada.

2000 Ford Mustang GT Supercharged - British Columbia Cars For Sale - Kijiji British Columbia Canada.

2000 Ford Mustang Convertible - Campbell River Cars For Sale - Kijiji Campbell River Canada.

There was as of last week a 2008 Mustang 4.0 for sale at Orchard Park Ford in Kelowna. $16000.00. Pretty good shape. Sonic Blue. Look up Orchard Ford on your browser.
