the following things will not match together:

- your desired car
- your price range
- your financing strategy
- the quality of car you're checking (due to your price range), look at those odometer's fam

Don't mustangs die around 200k anyways? Or am I way off with this?

I think you meant rear wheel drive breh, that's all they come in.
And you're exactly right - if you're not a pro with driving a RWD vehicle in inclement weather then you WILL end up wrapped around a tree sooner than later :mjlol:
:whoa:Yea, meant rear-wheel drive. My mom had a lil Pontiac thing that used to ZOOM in the spring and summer.

Could not get that bytch out of the parking spot if there were 2 inches of snow:what:Not to mention how fukked up our roads are...a Mustang would be foolish to buy in this city.:mjcry:

Don't get me started on the Potholes fukking up my suspension.

Honestly dont ever finance anything more than 1-2 yrs old. A car thats over 70k miles = major maintenance is right around the corner so you will have a car note ON TOP of having major repairs.

When you used thats 10 or more yrs old ALWAYS buy a car that has over 100k on the dash because the major maintenance would have been done AND you better be buying it cash.

You would be better off buying an Asian car for 2k cash and stack your bread and or get your credit up so you can finance a newer car. With a old car dont matter if the tranny blows you still have a car note if you are financing.

Not to discredit anything you've said :whoa: and I appreciate the input, but, I financed my current car and I am very happy with my decision to do so :o:

It's an '02, by the way.

Bought it in 2014 and I'll have it paid off in about 2 weeks. A Ford. Zero problems with it other than routine maintenance (oil changes, etc) and normal wear and tear(replaced serpentine belt, systems flushed, replaced a ball joint).

I thought you were going to allude to more financially sound reasons not to go in, but you're leaning more towards mechanical.. Idk.. I kinda think that the important thing when financing an older vehicle is to just make sure you're not financing a piece of sh!t. And that's what I'm worried about with the Mustangs.
I'm not too sure about their reliability, never heard much about them...although I'm sure we all always see Mustangs still on the road from various years. :lupe:

TOO MANY MILES!!!! :mindblown:

Which ones?
I know, of course, the ones like 120,000+ need to be taken with caution.. but if they're reliable cars, then anything under 120k shouldn't be too bad breh :lupe:

The financial part is a given, its idiotic to finance a car more than 2 yrs old, no reputable bank would even do it and if they do the terms would not be for more than 1-2 yrs and if it is the interest rates are probably insane.

the cars you are posting are 10+ yrs old with 100k+ miles and with interest you will be paying 11-12k easy. What sense does that make?

you nikkas think driving stick is so hard :dame: but it really isnt

It's not hard at all. I drive manual just as good as auto, matter of fact(thanks to driving dump trucks for a few years at a past job)
I've just always found it to be a complete and absolutely unnecessary nuisance that I'd rather not deal with when all I'm trying to do is drive :heh:
Driving manual trans cars is definitely an acquired preference. And so I definitely respect those who prefer 'em. I just prefer auto.

First of all, lol @ wanting a shytstang.

If you're gonna get one, get the one with lowest miles. Keep in mind this isn't a Honda, where 100k miles plus isn't a problem.

the the older your car is the shorter terms you want to do. I`m just speaking on a 4-5 yr term it would be wise to do more than 1-2 yrs old. 3-4 yr old cars you should do 1-3 yr terms, but IMO financing a car thats more than 4 yrs old for more than 12 months is dumb.

I dont think stick is difficult I've just never learned....throughout the years the people I knew who had manual wouldn't teach me on their car

Did you miss the part where I said that I literally just did that :heh:
And I'll be done paying for it in under 3 yrs :myman:
Not sure whether the company that financed me or not is 'reputable' or not but I've never had a prob with them so I don't give a sh!t :heh:
I don't even know what my interest rates were all this time :lupe:
But I don't give a sh!t :pachaha: because I'm almost free :blessed:
Which kinda makes me not want to get another whip just yet, wanna see a few of these checks looking like when there AINT car payments coming outta them :patrice:

It does sound kind of bass ackwards though when you put it like that breh :mjcry:
