It all depends on how it has been cared for. It could be only a couple years old with low mileage but if it hasn’t been taken care of it won’t last long. This holds true for any car. You have not mentioned what year car and how many miles specifically. It’s a pretty broad question as it is currently asked.

If the mustang is a gt (v8 engine) and was built in 1998 or newer, you will get many miles out of a mustang. You are safe to about 150,000-250,000 miles without worrying about having to replace the engine. If the car has been beat on, then you will get closer to the 150k mark, if it has been well taken car of, then you will get 250k or more out of it. The same rules apply when buying a mustang, first and foremost, make sure it is a v8 mustang (prior to 1994, there were not only gt v8 mustangs, but you could also buy a lx v8 mustang). The second rule of thumb is try to buy 1998 or newer. You can go all the way back to 1988 and still get a quality mustang but ford really started to make an extremely reliable v8 mustang in 1998. As far as “how much mileage is too much when buying a used mustang gt?” This just depends on the history of the car. If you are buying it from a older man or woman and they were the only owner, you can bet that more then likely it hasnt been beat on too badly and you can probally buy one with as much as 130k miles on it and still have a lot of life left. If you buy a mustang from a older man or woman and they are the 5th owner of the car or you are buying from a 20 year old kid, then chances are that the car probally has been driven rough. In that case I would either look for another one to buy or not buy one with more then 75,000 miles on it.

That is like asking “How long am I going to live?”
It depends mostly on how well the car is cared for. If the car was well cared for, it could go over 200,000 miles easy. if the car was treated like crap, don’t expect any miracles.

I love mustangs and one of my high school teachers used to have a 19641/2 mustang that the miles stop recording at 350000 in 1999, when i buy my stang a 1999 mustang gt 35th brand new and now it has 85000 on it but it runs the same as new and both cars are stick shift

the mustang gt is a great car. be aware though. if it s a standard transmission and used you probally dont want it. if it has some bolt ons for performance its probally been driven hard. look at hte tires, body and interior if it looks like they cared for it they probally did care for it. interior is the key if it looks ragged it probally is. i have a 91 and 02 gt my 9 has 280,000 miles on it and i bet i can get 100000 more . my 02 only has 47000 on it drives like a champ. 100000 would not be bad if the car has been cared for.

You don’t want a rustang. All they are is an easy way out of your miserable life. they are to boxy on turns and lose control. only good thing is straight line drag racing and you still have to spend even for a new one $5000 - $8000 in engine upgrades just to stay up to my stock 00 Transam WS6 ram air. Plus, maybe you want to buy this car to get a rich white girl in the burbs or something. nothing wrong with that considering they are chick cars.
