First car with 150k miles?

I asked a similar question a while back. That didn't work out but now I have another friend whose neighbor is selling a 2001 mustang. He sent me pictures and I could see some spot rust. I figured if I brought my uncle who is a mechanic to take a look that it would help me decide. It also have 145k miles and it's a ford. My family has always said that American made vehicles tended to have shorter life. Is it worth making a date to go see it?

How much is he asking? I wold advise not to because mustangs are very unreliable and it could be coming to the ends of its life it depends on a lot of things tho. Like if it was maintained very well if is a manual and if the clutch had been replaced i'm assuming its an automatic though but that being said a 2001 with a 145k miles would be very good if it was a japanese car i have never bought american cars and never will because they are very unreliable and you will be working on it ALOT its always one thing or another but they are pretty easy to work on if you don't mind getting your hands dirty and have the money to put in. BOTOM LINE ITS YOUR CHOICE BUT I WOULDN'T if i were you i would look for something with around 140k on craigslist Toyotas are the best possible car you can get reliability wise I've had Toyota trucks go 340k on original engine transmission and 2 clutches. But besides that anything from Japan is good. And then german cars are good but not as good as japense cars

I don't think so. Usually cars with 100K don't last long, even with the help of mechanics. I took my car to 3 different mechanics and my car had 143K on it. 100 miles later, and the car was junked. It just all started falling apart and it was more money to fix than it would be to make a down payment on a new car.

Short term, it may work for you if you stay local, but I would highly highly recommend not getting the car just because it's in it's peak lifetime expectancy.
