Buying that Stang

ace2600 · 06-25-2001, 11:30 PM

Well looks like I am going to trade my Jeep in for a mustang. I am looking at a 94 or a 95 GT. Some quick questions are what is the mpg. Is there any reason to pay more for a 95? Are there any defects or anything I should be aware of. How much (est) would each year cost? Does the 94 and 95 GT come with the 5 liter? Thanx a lot!

yes, the 94 and 95 were the last years for the 5.0L

you are probably gonna be looking at about 18mpg +- depending on your driving habits, as for things to look for, do not buy an automatic if you are wanting even a little performance out of it, the SN95's are heavy and therefore slower, the auto makes it quite a bit worse, not too sure about problems with the car as a whole though, good luck with it, hurry up and get a real car!

In my area most '94-'95 GT's are in the 8,000 to 10,000 dollar range depending on condition and go up from there on newer ones. The problem with buying a '94 is that it was the first year of that body style so it's more likely you'll have rattles, miscellaneous production problems that would normally be solved as the cars evolved through their production life. '96 and up GT's with 4.6's are usually in the 12,000 and up range. Good luck!
