Hi,

They are good vehicles, but this one has a lot of miles. All vehicles begin to have problems after they have that many miles. Also, because it is a Mustang, there is a chance the prior owner was hard on it. It's just the nature of owning one. Not all people are like that, but there are many.

Next, do you know the engine size? Also, if you live in an area where you get snow, these are not good in snow. They are a traditional rear-wheel drive vehicle with a light back end.

Let me know if you have specific questions and if this helps.

Hi,

I would be happy to but let me know if you live in an area where snow is a concern or AWD is needed.

Also, please keep in mind, I will tell you what I consider a good vehicle, but all cars can fail and if it is used, we won't know its history.

Let me know what type of conditions you will experience. Also, how sporty do you want to get?

Take care,

Joe
