$5k 10 years ago was a steal. These things still sell for $5k all day.

Scotty just made the 4th gen Mustang value go up.

AC blowing freezing cold
Shifts like a dream
Handles quite well

"That's why you don't wanna buy cheap crap". Best don't buy expensive crap either.

When I was 15 my older brother bought a 1996 Mustang Cobra brand new off the lot, I used to get him to drop me off at girls houses to make me seem more cool to the girl I was visiting lol

I have a ford mustang 2000 v6 325, 000 milles drives like a dream

[victorloeza]

I’ve had 4 of those mustangs and each and everyone of them was loyal all the way only put gas and did oil changes and never game me problems

[dragoncrackers]

Reminds me of my old 01 Mustang. That was a good car. I bought it in 2011 with 200k on it. I got it cheap because it wasnt running at an auction but to my surprise nothing was wrong with it. We changed the battery, flushed the fluids and fiddled with some fuses when we got it home. It was running like a champ by the end of the day. I had it a few years and gave it to my cousin. It has well over 300k and she still has it as a back-up car.

My first car is a 2000 Mustang. Sold at 185k and still running strong. It has the most user-friendly ways of making modifications. The headlamps, for example, are held down by 2 L shaped brackets which is a brilliant design. Way better than the modern cars which held down by screws. Missing it now.

4.6, same as the Crown Vic so ultra reliable and parts are a dime a dozen!

[elgranfreezer]

I think is about how you treat the car, because I have a 2010 Mustang GT and it looks like the first day. The headlights and paint aren't even damaged although is 10 years old.

[johnalvea.r]

Mine has 203, 000 miles and runs amazingly. The transmission is just starting to give out but I have had zero dash lights pop up. Fortunately my father is a mechanic and we maintain it regularly, so this car has treated me well even though the person before me didn’t treat it will. I appreciate this video Scotty.

[marvinolvera]

I just got my aunts 2001 V6 Mustang, I really like it. Since she was the only owner it’s really taken care of.

[EricFortuneJr.]

I actually like this body style Mustang, especially the Terminator. Those actually made closer to 415 horsepower, not the 380 it’s rated. SVT was the way to go if you wanted speed.

[willjam]

Still handles quite well, unless you hit a big bump mid-corner...

[carlosbeltran]

I've got a 2004 Mustang GT Auto, has 152, 000 miles and never an issue with the engine or trans. Baught it used in 05 and has been very reliable, change oil every 5k miles, atf every 30k, coolant every 50-60k, rear diff oil every 50k, still runs and drives like new. These cars are underrated as far as dependability goes provided they're well maintained.

@Scotty Kilmer, that 385 hp motor was the 5.4, only found in the 2000 Cobra R, and they only produced 300 of those. You made it out to be like it's a regular option you can find when shopping for New Edge Mustangs. The real options were:

'99-'04 GT = 4.6 SOHC 2v v8 (260/300)

'00 Cobra R = 5.4 DOHC 4v v8 (385/385) BUT YOU'LL NEVER SEE ONE

'99/'01 Cobra = 4.6 DOHC v8 4v (320/317)

'03-'04 Cobra = 4.6 DOHC v8 4v supercharged (390/390)

The Mach 1 was about the same as the '99'01 cobra but had a live rear axle.

My '03 Expedition with 216, 000 miles has the 4.6 with the 4 speed with OD. Still runs like a champ. No engine or trans problems. AC stills chills.

$500 a year for a Mustang? Ya, I'd say he got his moneys worth! Great deal for a nice little hot rod!
