Mustang V6

I'm thinking of getting a new mustang V6. I would get the V8 but can't afford it cause i'm still in college. How does the V6 run? I was planning on getting the V6 now and then later on dropping a V8 into it. Is this smart? I think the V6 mustang goes for about 16000 if I am not mistaken which is what I plan on spending. Is there something better I could get for this price that is new? I'm looking for something sporty with decent speed. Thanks in advance.
 
You'll get assraped on insurance either way. You could probably pick up a 2001-02 V8 for right around 14,000. If you want a new one, then yeah, it's gonna be around 20-22K, last I checked.
 
i have a 2000 v6 stang
it is decently fast, decent gas mileage, cerrtainly nothing special
just your average american "sports car" ....
if you demand alot out of a car, speed, handling, something specific, you may look elsewhere
but for just the normal driver , it is FINE. the interior is plastic
mine doesn't have ABS either, woopdy do, its not hard to get used to that, just be careful in the rain or whenever it is slick, it WILL get out from under you if you do not pay attention in turns

i have not had ANY problems with my car,.. it has been totally reliable for me thus far, I am a college student also, so I expect it to last me as long as i need it to. regular maintenance/fluid change will make enough difference that I recommend it

I dont know pricing of new v6 stangs, I got mine on a dealer discount through my dad anyway.

overall, I say it is a good car, if that is all you want. Like I said, if you demand good handling or something, you can modify it as much as you want, sway bars, the works. (I have not because I can't afford it)
But do NOT drop a v8 in it. If you want a v8, BUY a v8, trust me, it is not worth sinking the money in a v6
 
Thanks for the replies. I think I am just going to try and find a used v8. I'm looking for something that is going to be fast and I do not think I will be satisfied with the v6. I'm just going to have to shop around and hopefully find an older v8 with a decent price. Thanks again.
 
keep in mind, most people with a v8 (camaro, stang, etc) drive the shit out of it, this I know from experience

If you can buy it from someone you know didn't drive it hard, or say, some older individual that had a mid-life crisis, go for it. but the insurance is going to be killer.
 
Seriously, buy something a year or two old, you'll save a ton on depreciation and still have warrantee (unless you're hoping for payment plans/lease)

As for new, Dodge has something realy quick coming out soon that I've seen advertised under $20,000

The Subaru WRX and the Acura RS are also pretty good bang for the bucks at near $20K
 
the insurance a killer? mm ok, my brother has a 95 gt mustang and the insurance is 2100$ a year and he has had 5 tickets

I guess you get better rates in Tenessee than in SoCal. It would cost me $3200 annual for the same vehicle and I have 1 ticket on my record (in 4 1/2 years of being liscensed)

LOL. No way. God I hate the sport compact phase.

You are right, they do have some power now. Bout time Ford did something correctly. I just don't like any style of body since 1970. I think it totally went downhill.

I'd suggest, for the money of a new V6, get a used SS Camaro or WS6 Trans Am.
 
Talking used sports cars, I'll take a 1993 Mustang Cobra. I'm not a big fan of the body change that occurred after that year though.

Wouldn't drive a camaro or trans am. I always get the image of some dude with a mullett driving that type of car.

v6 mustang

The v6 mustang is a pretty good value. The ones with the sport package are attractive and sporty. However, I would strongly recommend you get a 5 speed transmission and NOT the automatic. The automatics don't seem to be geared properly and the resulting performance is rather disappointing. The 5 speed on the other hand has fairly spirited performance and is less expensive than its automatic counterpart.
 
I meant to mention something about that..
I have an automatic, never drove a manual, so I don't have an opinion on that
Hollywood is right that the gearing on the automatics is lagging compared to other cars in the simmilar price range.

I had a '00 Hyundai Tiburon prior to getting the Mustang, and that thing was geared GREAT, had good handling as well. it was a 4 cylinder, but I believe it's top speed was still faster than the Mustang (which has a limiter thing). That's about the only real comparison I have, but I would tthink the manual transmission mustang for the price is not too bad of a deal.

and for fucks sake, DON'T GET A YELLOW MUSTANG

I agree with both of these statements.

I've had 3 V8 Mustangs. 88 LX hatchback, 88 GT convert, and a 94 Cobra. Loved them all, but if I had a choice I'd get a 93 Cobra.

And as far as the V6's go. I've never driven one, but I've got a bunch of mustang mags where they beef up the V6 to run 13's in the 1/4. I imagine it would cost ya, but it is possible.
 
I love mine. I got it for the looks because I really didn't care one way or the other if it was a V6 or V8. It runs great...or it did last time I drove it. It's on loan to a friend of mine who had her minivan reposessed (someone's gotta look out for making sure she can take care of her kids since the daddies sure as hell don't).
