Advice Needed

Im looking at two mustangs to buy. There's a 5.0L V8 manual soft top that has 130k miles. But then there's a 5.0L V8 Automatic hardtop with 90k miles. I dont know what to get. Both are 4500 and I want them but would anyone else spend 4500 on them?

What year are you looking at?
You may be in the wrong forums, 96 thru 04 didn't come with 5.0's

I didn't read. I didn't see a '95 at first and so just went to '96

No worries, I can move it.
We do need a little more info the cars your looking at, mileage, modifications, that kind of thing.

No need. I've already posted again on the correct forum

I think convertibles are for those who want convertabiles. Do you want a vert?

Honestly, I like the hardtop, but i dont know if there's more value in a softtop manual or more possibilities towards it. They both have the same engine but I don't know if having a manual softtop is more valuable than a automatic hardtop

When in doubt, go for the stick car
Girls like a man that can handel a stick car.



Yes, I chose my words carefully

Good point. But the automatic is REALLY ING FAST

Personally, I am not a convertible guy. More problems than there worth. I like riding in them, but not having to own one.

I love my convertible. And I love my coupe. And I also love my hatchback. If I had to choose one it would be my coupe. The thing to remember is don't get too hung up on the trans. An automatic can be swapped to a 5 speed very easily. But a convertible can't become a hardtop....at least not easily.
