Used Cars: ford mustang, west palm beach, ford mustang

Question
hello,
i am looking to buy a used ford mustang. my price range is around 5000 to
7500. i have been looking at adds on craigslist, and i see many 2000-2004 in
my price range. many with around 70000 miles. now i live in cleveland, and i
have been looking for them in the florida area (miami, west palm beach,
orlando). i was hoping to learn more about these cars, and their reliability, is
60000 a good amount of miles? will i be able to get 2-3 years more off this
car? thanks for your time.

Hello Morgan,

The price is not to bad with the amount of miles on it, the mustangs can be reliable and would last you a decent amount of time only if they have been heavily maintained. I have come across a few and some with low mileage have been worst kept then some with higher, this will effect its durability in the long run. I would suggest taking a few extra steps before purchase (carfax, history of maintenance, etc..) one other thing is to get the compression tested be a trusted mechanic!
