I have been buying/selling old mustangs since when these "Fox Bodies" were the "new" mustangs I would drool over at the dealership. 20 years ago, when I went to buy a 20 year old Mustang, I never asked, "so, how many miles are on the car?" Nor was it common for the seller to advertise it or even know for sure. The old 60's mustangs as well as these Fox's only have XX,XXX positions on the odometer. Milage plays no part in determining the value of 99% of the Mustangs being sold today. It only applies to 10 year old and younger models (which I do not buy) and specialty cars such as Shelbys, Saleen, Roush, etc. Then, the milage would have to be documented and certified to be used as a basis for determining value. Therefore, if Billy Bob says his 1990 Mustang GT 25th Annaversary Edition has 25K miles on it and has been sitting in the garage since his brother died in Desert Storm, I respectfully say that I'm sorry about your brother but can you prove that odometer has not flipped once ore twice? Probably not, and then the "claimed" milage is worthless. Bottom line, on a plane Jane Mustang, who cares how many miles are on it? Only the guy that thinks he can squeeze another buck out of it.
