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.

 

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?
