newb from CO!
 

hey everyone, just wanted to introduce myself, i currently have a slightly beefed up 96 Bronco with a 351W but i'm thinking about buying a used 94-04 GT 5-speed. any suggestions for a good starter Mustang? 94-95 with the 302? 96-99? 99-04? thanks for your input, i dont want any of that V6 or auto crap. thanks

01+ GT, Cobra, Mach 1, or Bullitt are deffinetly great choices.

Do not get the 96-98.

I went from a 97 GMC SUV to a 2002 GT and I can't be happier (unless I got the Cobra) :laughing6

isnt that what you have? or is that a 94-95 302? i cant see the badging

why not 96-98?

Its the slowest stang and yes I have a 98 but doing an engine swap to a 98 cobra block with new internals.

He was recommending the 96-98 "don't not" double negative :glasses11

Thanks for pointing that out,last thing I want to do is post with double negatives.

how about the 94-95 w/the 302 or the 99-04 GTs?

Id probably stick with a 01 or newer.

Sup buddy. Welcome. Im up here in littleton myself.
My advice, is go for the most powerful you have the means to obtain. After all, we get robbed of power here in this altitude.

the only problem i have is funds....

my Bronco is in showroow condition, blue book value is 8,400
so i'll let that go for 8k probably

then i can scrape another 2k, but what can you get for that? 01+ GT's are too much

what are some going prices elsewhere for say 94-95 GTs, 96-98 GTs, and 01+ GTs, i've checked around here, and have had no luck, maybe i could drive to Arizona or something to pcik up a better deal?

thanks

Depends on location, condition, and mileage.
Mine at 43k is KBB'd at 12,800. I wouldnt pay anything over KBB Private from anywhere. V6's are a dime a dozen. Finding a nice GT or even a nice cobra takes a little time. It took me 3 months to find the one I wanted but patience pays off. Also dont jump on the first one you see...
Good luck in your search.

what's the car for? I assume it'll be your daily driver?
how much HP do you need?
