15-16 MPG is not bad for a V-8 Mustang. My '84 F150 only gets 10-12MPG, and as low as 7MPG when on the road pulling the trailer. I have considered a new truck, but I know this truck inside and out and there is nothing on it I cannot work on. On MsPriss's '95, I can work on the lower end of the engine and drive train, and most of the chasis, but can do little on the top, which is all computer controlled. The one thing to remember with the older cars is that they are heavier than their modern day counterparts. They do not always stop as fast, and respond a lot differently on wet or icy road conditions. Some of them also have a lot more rear torque than modern cars, so you have to watch take offs from lights and stop signs, especially if a cop is around.  |

I want a Woody myself. I was dying to get a Jeep Grand Wagoneer with wood paneling.... but they were all junk and not worth the "collector" price.  |

what I know from my high school boyfriend who owned a 1964 and 1/2 mustang-- the classic mustangs are far superior to the modern day ones. They're large, unwieldly beasts composed of lots of metal and gigantic engines, so if you want a big car that makes impressive noises and goes really fast a straightaway, this is the car for you. Also, old cars generally require a lot of maintenence, so someone who's going to buy one really has to be sort of a mechanic, or at least be prepared to become one-- if you're sure you can get your boyfriend's mom to teach you how to fix it, then I say go for it-- it's always cool to have more girls in the world who know something about mechanics. Older engines are, of course, easier to work on than modern day ones that are full of electronics and computerized elements.  |

let me tell ya, there is no other feeling than driving an old muscle car especially if it in good working order. besides the fact that it may get low gas milage the parts are far more cheaper and repairs are made more easily. i own a 1983 pontiac firebird trans-am with a 305 v-8 and boys it goes. the power, the sound, the feel of it just driving down the street is like no other. people look, some try to race against you. you can have alot of fun, but you also have to be careful. with all that power under the hood you can get into a reck real quick or picked up by the cops. my trouble i have with my firebird, i cant keep it under 65mph. it just wants to go go go. with todays gas prices i would usually go through about $60.00 or more in gas a week. so now i dont drive it very much.
my personal opinion, go check out some of the newer cars, test drive them see if you like them. it just as easy to fall in love with a newer car too. some have just as much power or look just as cool but gas milage and insurance is alot cheaper.plus if you buy brand new, you have a warrenty, this is good too. hope this helps and good luck to you |

My heart has always been with the older mustangs...my dream car is a 1966 Shelby mustang...I think the older ones were built better...and much easier to work on.  |

The old classic car would be better! Though my wife would disagree with that statement(nobody really knows why she does though). LOL --  |

forget what the guys think. i've done it both ways and new is better. my dad got me a 57 chevy when i was eight years old. it was ready for me to drive at 16 and most times when i took it out i had trouble. plus, it was cold in the winter. being a convertable, summer is ok! then we got my daughter a 68 mustang. we had to keep a case of oil in the trunk! it drank almost as much oil as gas! cold in the winter and way too hot in the summer. and my kid had been begging for a mustang since she was about 12 years old!. the day i bought my new car she came home from work, asked to try it out and i didn't see it for about five months! it had heat and air and she took a liking to it! she finally decided to sell it and get a new one. she wanted the little things that come with a new car---heat---air---warranty!! she still wants an old mustang but now she says she will wait and buy one later when her car is paid for and she will have something to fall back on if it tears up!!  |

No I got it...buy both...and just sit in the mustang...don't worry about fixing it up...just keep it in your garage and sit in it for fun. Lol! Then get a cheapish newer car too. Save on gas, and get both woo! Again...no logic here either...lol...well...it is almost midnight... |
