I would murder literally any of you to drive off in this.

A V8 with only 150bhp lmao

Yeah but it still has torque

And low output v8's are super low maintenance.

Yup.

Spoiler

Thats not a 917k

They're not worth much more than that.
At that price, don't get it unless everything is in good condition, and it's manual.

I wouldn't spend more than $1500usd ($2000) on a Mustang more than ten and less than thirty years old.

it fits those requirements perfectly

the guy selling it is my coworker and he's a good guy. car is in mint condition except for the breaks which he's fixing before he sells it to me.

6 speed manual transmission, v6 rear wheel drive.

If you wanna trick something out you should buy it.

There are a lot of aftermarket options for mustangs and you can easily turn it into something cool.

like what

i've been looking at some custom mustangs in the style but i can't really find anything i like

Increase the wheel size (means getting new wheel wells too), lift the rear suspension, add a new spoiler, put either a scoop or a peak hood on it, and you have yourself a classic dragster.

Get new, flatter bumpers, a hood that matches, chrome grill, replace the headlights with round ones, and (this will cost you trunk space) get a trunk lid that angles down into the rear bumper to give it a hatchback feel, and you've got a sporty yet full length derby style car.

The possibilites are endless because there are just so many aftermarket mods.

I haven't even got a full license yet, cars are expensive to maintain, particularly when your only source of income is a government university loan.

I'd be happy with an Austin Mini Cooper or a Morris Minor to putter around in.

imagine me having a dream car

Alfa Romeo Giulia or Volvo XC90

Safest cars on the road with like 98% of all tested crashes leaving the driver fine and all kinds of fancy shit to minimize damage to people you hit or prevent accidents in the first place (autonomous e-break, lane departure warning systems, blind spot alarms, etc)


That's what I imagine you would drive if money didn't matter

I'd see Verb's dream car being a Honda FZX or a Toyota Mirai tbh. Zero-emission cars ftw

He'll drive a Nissan Leaf

Naaaaaaaaah.

You don't buy a gremlin for the performance. You buy it because it's called the gremlin and it's weird as fuck.
