Just be sure to drive whatever you're interested in. If you feel comfortable with it and the price is right, go for it. Personally, one with over 150,000 WOULD NOT bother me. But I'd buy it cheap enough KNOWING that I'm probably going to be doing some maintenance on it in the near future. I mean, who buys a sports car to leave stock parts on it anyways lol

Mustangs are just as bad, except they're fords which makes them worse lol

There are so man readily available, cheap aftermarket parts for mustangs that it's just stupid. That's why you see so many of them at the drag strip

It's all bolt on stuff any more so there should be any need to have someone do it.

Yeah it's hit or miss. I've had two and they both fell apart. My current Camaro is an 02 with only 60k on it and the interior is literally falling apart.

Dude just go drive some cars. Drive a 350z and an s2000 or even a lexus is300. Mustangs are way over rated and they are every where. Vettes that are any good are going to be out of your price range. F-bodys. well engines are great. Also whatever car you decide on visit that particular cars forum to find out what will go wrong with the. Drive a bunch of different cars before making a decision.
