Is this Ford Mustang worth buying?

So I'm looking at a used 2010 mustang coupe automatic 4.0L V-6 cyl with 87,500 miles. It cost $9,000. Do you think it has too many miles? I just want to hear other people's thoughts.

Yeah, that's a lot of miles for a nine year old car.

Let your heart decide and the way gas is going up today you may think of buying a good gas miser car…

That's a normal amount of miles for the year and is no cause for concern unless it hasd been driven by someone under age 25, in which case those could be hard miles. It's not a screaming good deal, but it isn't a bad price either. The question is - is it a one owner car and does it have good maintenance records showing regular oil changes and other periodic recommended maintenance? Before buying, pay an independent shop to do a prebuy evaluation.

[p.s. You wouldn't be looking at a NEW 2010, would you? It's obvious that it is used and is redundant to say so. ]

I wouldn't worry so much about the mileage as I would the actual condition of the car, as determined by a mechanic's inspection. Regardless of mileage, a used car can be in great condition and worth buying, or it can be in poor condition with problems and not worth buying.

  • What to look for when buying a used 2004 Ford Mustang? I'm going to look at a 2004 Ford Mustang this week. It has 101,000 miles on it. If I but it it will be my first car, so I want to make sure that it is in great shape and won't break down in me. Check the link and tell me if it is a good deal. What do I look for when inspecting it? Thanks! http://maine.craigslist.org/cto/4454973116.html
