And I really want it but everyone tells me to stay away from Fords. It's a Mustang 2002 and appears to be in great condition. Are Mustangs an exception to the don't buy Ford rule? What should I listen for? It's a 3.8L V6 SFI OHV, Rear Wheel Drive with no ...  

And that this version is not the most exciting one. Body and engine, I mean... BUT if you love it, why not!!! Best, Nicolas

It's pristine. My first car was a sleek, red '67 Cougar; this car wells up great memories of those fun days. However, sentiment is not a good reason to buy a car. I've done research on buying used cars and what to look for, and this one is has everything ... 

If it has any flaw at all, walk away now so you don't have to deal with it. Find another. Cars are not like watches ... They are much more expensive to "flip". My two cents, Cazalea

to buy a car. Maybe the best! OK, not economically spoken. But for the mind: yes! Cars that you shouldn't have bought are often the most fun to drive. Experience talking and I will prove it: This has got to be one of the most ridiculous cars a man can buy...  

This is probably the 1967 Continental, (we were a Mercury family). It reminds me much of my '67 red Cougar with the white vinyl tip, the sleep front, hidden headlights and directional blinkers. It had some unique extra's on the inside. What extras does yo... 

Still 100% original. Not many tricks though. The highbeams are activated by a button on the floor. And the horn is activated by squeezing the steering wheel. Had to ask a classic car mechanic cause I couldn\'t find it myself

I've been reading on what to look out for when buying a used car so I know enough to beware of what isn't said or seen. - I've driven the car three times and know how it handles; it only has a v6 and it's a heavy vehicle so it feels like I'm driving in a ... 

Having said that-a car with 92000 miles and no service records would scare me away. Do not buy this car without having a trusted mechanic look it over.

But I've been surprised by the resale price of others I have seen, they hold their value well. The car had a CARFAX but I did notice there were a few red flags. Thank you for helping me think through this situation. Helen

Buying from the heart is a subject "dear to my heart" as I\'ve done it plenty of times. Let\'s say 50 times, or 60. It works best when the "beauty" is not your only car, and when you have lots of friends who can work on it, or give you rides home. Or if y... 

I have read your posts over and over and am taking everything into consideration. This whole process is emotionally draining. So in the meantime I look at all the pictures of the beautiful cars on the forum admiring their classic , unique beauty. Then I r... 

Many tend to be a lot less comprehensive than first thought. And if you read up on the reviews of other users of the company\'s warranties, you should be able to judge better if it is money well spent.

I heard from a few people, then a friend who used to sell cars, said that they were the worst dealership in the city, to do business with. I feel fortunate things have worked out the way they have. Helen

Usually not worth it. Too many loopholes and flaky insurers. Too much profit margin for the dealer. Sorry. Mike

Since the first time I drove the car someone put five thousand miles on it. I take it one of the employees was using it as their personal vehicle. It was definitely a nice car. Thanks for your wise advice. Graciously, Helen

... To other Mustangs of a similar vintage and with the same engine? May well give you the added assurance of \'they all do that\'. Otherwise nothing to add to Cazalea\'s comprehensive advice

But it turns out to be a stick. I don't mind a stick but I don't want to put too much stress on my arm since I'm recovering nicely from a rotator cuff injury. I am looking though. Thank you for your suggestion and emotional support. Helen

To your satisfaction!

But that's fine, I've heard some pretty scary things about this dealerships tactics, and I've been very hesitant to go back even though I like the car so much.

So I hope you find another at a decent dealership soon!

I ventured out of my comfort zone. The kids were suggesting a nondescript vehicle; reliable, good gas mileage, vanilla. After seeing the Mustang, my daughters are all for me getting something fun. The search will continue. Good night, Helen

While riding my bicycle around my neighborhood! MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE

If they were running free on the range, I would learn how to use a lasso, buy a cowgirl hat and boots , find a friend with a off road Jeep and go out and catch me one of those Mustangs. Out of curiosity, is photographing cars your hobby? Thanks for sharin... 

Blogging seems to be my hobby. Back in 2013 I was trying to ride my bike every day, which becomes incredibly boring... The Mustangs just showed up on the roadside, I took pics - and you\'ve now seen some of them.. I\'m tracking Fiat 500s now... Here\'s a ...  

In the U.S. as well. The Abarths are quite good fun to drive, in a raw, boisterous kind of way. More like riding a terrier than a precision tool but good old school fun

Would need to pass the question on to the US based members - they were never sold here, so I really have no idea...

I thought my response posted under Mike's response. It was too late to change it when I noticed it posted under you. But thank you for your input! Helen

That's for sure. They are attractive! Thanks for the thumbs up! Helen
