First time buyer- purchasing a ford mustang its automatic 150,000 miles year is 2000 v6 engine, for 3200 dollars- is this good?

What should I look for?

Nope.

Google Kelly blue book or other car value site.

is it from a reputable dealer WITH a warranty? Maybe pay that much, if a private person offer 2,200 - 2,400

Nope. Mustangs are actually the worst car that you could buy used. Excluding the classic Mustangs of the 60's and early 70's of course

Make sure YOUR mechanic checks it out first.

It's old and worn out. Expect frequent repairs because it is old and worn out. When you buy a car that old, you're buying someone else's problem child.

It's awful. An 18 year old Mustang will have been beaten to death. Even more so for the V6 where the driver has to keep the engine working hard to get any performance. And it's been doing that for 150,000 miles.
Why, oh why do people buy automatic Mustangs?

  • Is it a good idea for an 18 year old to buy a $20,000 Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Mustang or a challenger? I just graduated HS getting into college and I'm thinking of buying a used or brand new car ( listed above) I have about 5000 for down payment. But I'm just not sure if it's a good financial decision, but at the same time I really want the car. Please leave your opinion below! My credit score is like 650!
  • Is purchasing a Ford with 80,000 miles a good choice? So basically my boyfriend and I have been looking for a perfect van to road trip in, and we saw this absolutely perfect Ford Econoline 150 that is cutom made. The interior is in mint condition as well as the exterior and as far as I know the engine and everything is in perfect shape. Basically my question today is if this purchase would be worth it or do fords burn out quickly? The van is 1995 with 80,000 miles and it is $11,000. I think it is pretty good deal but I need a second opinion.
  • Do you think buying a 2000 ford focus with 161,000 miles a good car purchase? For 1,000? I'm wondering if anyone will recommend, a 2000 ford focuse with 161,000 mileage as my first car, I recently got my drivers permit I want a car to practice my driving skills and I stubbled into the 2000 ford focus.
  • First time car buyer: need advice? I would like to buy a car with the following conditions: safe, good gas mileage, easy for me to move seats down in case I move (I don't own much but two furniture pieces I have to put seats down), certified preowned. My family runs within the Toyota, ford and Chevy business but I'm willing to look beyond those as long as the cars aren t notorious for being a lemon. And how much would be good to put down?
