Hi,
In a few days, i'll arrive in the US for a half-year long internship. As for my future car, I have decided to indulge myself with some fine piece of american car: the Ford Mustang.
I have already sorted out I wanted a '99, probably convertible to enjoy the summer months, and most likely a 3.8 V6 since I cannot afford the V8's MPG.
Now I wanted to know if you guys would recommend this car. Relaibility is my main concern, yet I will take no jap-crap.
I don't know much of Ford's V6 engine and for that matter I hesitate between GM's excellent 3800 Series II on a Camaro or Firebird.
Another issue is the mileage. I have found some of these cars with around 80,000 miles onboard. I have heard that some American cars have major breakdowns around 100,000 miles. Is it a good idea to buy a car under 100,000 since necessary major repairs might not have been made yet?
So what do you think?
