88-93's look similar I agree, but how does a 94 look similar? Nobody has said anything about getting a 94 convertible, which I think is the best(though I could be biased). Getting a decent one is out of your price range though.

i'm actually in newyork (upstate) and our winter wasn't too bad ...although i have another car. i just leave the mustang on the insurance. Also, i think i can say i am the only person who had his convertable out on Christmas eve day this past year.............WITH THE TOP DOWN...i was about to replace it when the season came in, so with 65 degree weather i popped the top and cruised for the day ...LOL i got more looks from people than i knew what to do with. But it was one of those freak winter days, so now i can say i did it....as soon as the 5.0 is in it i don't know what i will do next.

I live in Switzerland and my 92 LX convertible auto is just fine in Snow with snow tires. Never ever got stuck.

I was lucky found one with just 4K miles and now I got it up 35K miles.

Good luck

Is milage a big concern when buying a 5.0?
I haven't seen any vets with under 60,000 miles on it. Do you think 75k, or even 100+ is safe?

Many also have leather seats, which are always cracked up and down. Is this expensive to fix or replace? I could always replace the front and back with cloth, if it was alot cheaper.....
That is, If I bought a car with leather seats.
I got my 92 LX 5.0 Vert with about 60k on it. I now have 140K and it runs just as good today as it did when I bought it. You could tell the previous owner took good care of it. I have taken good care of it since although I have been known to give it hell once in a while.

One thing you want to look at when buying a car that age is check the muffler bearings, and look at the blinker fluid if that is low then DO NOT BUY IT. just a few things to look at.
