Question on the Mustang!

[Craig.]

Not likely. And the price on one would be close to

[Craig.]

while yes the mustang is more powerful. the BMW is a better ride overall. Trust me i hate the things, but they dont break down in tears at a sharp corner

dont let my comments on the mustag put ya off. I personally love the car, although i like the 90's model more, has a sporty look to it. If i were to go with the original style i would by the original mustang. Its just personal preferances. best bet is to look through the auto trader website and get an idea of prices near you.
I sent you a PM about your insurance aswell.

don't go for an auto GT

and we won't be getting the shelby model till next year

i am sorry to say, but i have never heard of any right hand drive mustangs of any year (except a few old race cars)

[RichieB16]

Have there been any reports on the reliability of the new mustangs?

I haven't heard much either way.  They haven't been out long enough to discover what kind of problems they may have as they get older and more worn out.  Thusfar there has been no major problems brought up and they sure are a nice looking car (and thats hard for a Camaro guy to say).  But, nothing has been released that say they are unreliable.

you'll get used to the right hand no problem. i ran an e30 bmw m3 for 2 years, which were only made in lhd, and after a short while it was ok. overtaking can be a bit dodgy, but apart from that it was fine  :)

Ok, as a Mustang enthusiest, I feel compelled to say something.

No chance of you buying a GT500 (especially in the UK)

little chance of you buying a right seat '05.

Mustangs are reliable from 1996-present

I love my 1998, but if you don't like the looks, go for a 2000-2004 model(if you like those)


Why do people not like the 1994-1998 models?  I love them!  The only beef I have with them, is they don't quite look like a race car, unless you try to make an RS.  

may I recommend a Ford Ka, or a Toyota Prius if you are thinking about a new car.  Trust me, in 3 years, you will know why.

Yes the 2000-2004 models are more agressive looking, and they look more like real road racers.  Thats why the Cobra R was developed.

Oh, I fergot to mention something about buying a Mustang.  Good luke parking it in the tight streets in the UK

[Craig.]

the standard mustang is no problem on our streets really. my uncles rover 75 is bigger and they are a very common car round here. Our streets arnt as small and tight as people think. And anything you saw round London is not a common thing round the country. Villages can be a problem some times but Jeremy clarkson managed to get the Hummer H1 through some tight streets once so again not a huge problem.

My personal fav, theres a place about 10 miles from here thats an american car specialist has a lot full of camaros both 96 style and 2000 style onwards. Mustangs old and new style Dodge rams firebirds allsorts. Again though both cost (a 96 mustang here is about ($8000+) and insurance (i was quoted best $6000) a year. makes owning one before turning 25 almost impossible. And with gas being $7 a gallon almost they arnt great commuting cars.
