It's true, you can get a decent Mustang for a lot cheaper with a lot more miles on it. However, plan on spending a lot of time searching and rumaging through ads to find the one you want. Anyway, $9000 sounds reasonable to me for a 93 notch with that few miles on it. Heck, 4-5 years ago, I paid $8000 for one with 80,000 miles on it.

If I were in your shoes and could afford it, I would buy that car in a heartbeat. It is very rare to find a completely stock Mustang with mint interior and all documents. I know; I searched for a year and a half for mine. It was completely stock with a perfect interior when I bought it. By buying a stock car, you know exactly what is done to it and when. Also, you can't measure the satisfaction you get from a perfect interior. I've gotten more complements on the interior of my car (all black) than I have on the car or engine.

Anyway, if you can afford it, I would do it. Sounds like a sweet deal to me. Others are going to tell you that you can find a decent Mustang for under $5000, and that's completely true. However, chances are it will not be stock, it will have many miles on it, and it will not be in as good shape.

Your decision.
