Hey everyone, I'm out there lookin' for a 5.0 of my own. I was on here earlier in the year planning out a 'stang build-up, and I bought an MR2 turbo about 2 1/2 months ago. Now I'm ready to sell that and get a 5.0. I saw my ideal 5.0 today, black LX 5.0 coupe for sale at a lot. I will call tomorrow. But I want to know how these are on repairs. Do any of you feel like you own a money-pit? I have had this MR2 and a Nissan 240sx before that, so I'm used to good reliable Japanese cars. But when they do need to be fixed, it costs 2x since it's not American. That's why I'm wanting to switch over... I want to be able to walk into a shop with a car prob., and walk out happy, since I barely spent any money. Is a Mustang the answer? Thanks for the help.
