- A subscriber asked if a Mustang would be a good first car for a new driver. I discuss the pros and cons of SN95 and S197 Mustangs in this video.
Yes, I'm aware the sound quality at the beginning is poor. Turn up your volume and stick with it; it gets better.
The BEST teen driving program I've found is very affordable and even the most negative students enjoy it. Check for classes near you. putonthebrakes...

I’m 17 and I got a 2010 mustang V6 like two weeks ago, I don’t drive fast, but do drive a lot and the gas mileage is better than what I thought, I can fill it up here in Houston with only $20, which will last me a week and a half
that’s insane, i have to pay close to 60 bucks in chicago
I have a 2008 Chevy suburban and it gets 11 mpg not good at all I’m looking to get a mustang but my parents really don’t want me to cause they think I’m an inexperienced driver when I am a good driver
If you don’t mind me asking how much do you pay for insurance, I don’t know what to expect
Yea how much is it for insurance?
@@andy_johnson6357 like 90$
I’m 15 I worked my a** off all Summer to get a 2008 v6 mustang very happy I’m not even old enough to drive it yet but I can’t wait
it is a auto transmition?
@@all4lani if Is doesn’t matter
Your parents covering insurance ? And how much are you financing it for
Same here brooo
@@theheadlessstickman If he's in my situation then he probably just bought it off a previous owner. Not everything has to be financed my guy
As a Canadian living in 2023, the fact that a teenager can drive this is insane. I am 23 and grinding daily for one of these things, the cost to survive as a Canadian rn is just dumb
It’s really a terrible first car for a kid Honda civic for Corolla makes way more sense
This video deservess more views.
12:40 - So few people know how to drive a manual, that even some car thieves will straight up walk away from your car if they notice it's a manual. LMAO
A car thief that can’t drive a stick shift??😂🤣 damn our generation is fucked!
Sounds like a carpenter that doesn’t know how to use a hammer…!?😂🤣😢😢
@@patmccan414 thats a good thing, no need for extra anti theft measures
I was at a dealership about eight months ago, and no one would drive this 2006 Mustang because it was stick. So, I told them: “I can drive it.” I tried not to act too excited. I ended up buying it.
I saved up 10k and bought a wrecked 2018 gt. I’m proud of myself I came from a 2011 ram 1500, I’m 18 now. I’m going to show my uncle this video for my younger cousin because he wants a mustang
My first car in highschool was a 06 V6 Mustang convertible. I put that car through hell! 4.0, automatic. I bought it with 7k miles, and sold it with 109k. Only oil changes, 2 batteries, and tires. Never had an issue. My friends hated it, but the girls loved it! 🤣. I did all my tuneups in shop class (actually got graded on it for class projects) and I only used Motorcraft parts. Filters, oil etc.
Only oil changes ?? U probably beat the fuck out of it and became a headache for the person u sold that pos to
I just got my first mustang, an 06 at 19, I absolutely love it. I watched your video actually, showing your mustang before I bought mine. It helped ALOT, eBay is where I’m looking for modifications for interior but definitely helped a lot !
Really, dam I'm actually looking at an 05 mustang but then reconsiderd when he said the insurance is costly, if you don't mind how much do you pay for yours?
@@a.n.c.r.3564 monthly payments for insurance are just under 400, but I’m also 19 so they have me at 365, hopefully it’ll go down after my annual but that’s even with my clean driving record
I have one of these 4.0 V6s. It’s an amazing first car. I did have some trouble last winter on all seasons, so yes snow tires are a must! If you want a fun car as well, look at getting a manual. The V6 is a much more fun car with the manual in it. Great video!
I am 60. My previous Mustangs were manual. But, now, I am just tired of all of the shifting, especially when I am waiting in line at Burger King. I got an automatic. And I have fun driving my 4.0 V6. (And… I am a woman 👩 - I don’t need a manual to bolster my ego.).
I’m 17 and I got a 2006 Black manual ford mustang and I’ve loved every second of it, not unsafe and recommend highly.
I’m a 14 year old with an eye for muscle cars, and I felt everything you said about teenagers feelings was true (in my case, at least). I’m looking to buy a mustang as a first car in a couple years, and will most definitely take what you said into consideration.
Buy an GT
I got my first car at 17 a few weeks ago, V6 2008 and I must say, amazing mileage and great power for the price :)
update: i sold my 08 v6 coupe for $500 less than i bought it (about $9k) for a month after. i bought an 05 GT convertibile ($14k) now and im very happy with it!!! ❤️
Planning on buying an 07 v6 manual with my own money. Cant wait
I remember when I was 17 and I bought my first truck for 5k by myself and I’m 18 now and I absolutely apprentices it a lot
Got my first car last week. 2007 mustang v6. Saved up for months just to buy it. So far it has been a great decision.
How's it been so far? Just bought an 05 Mustang v6 in really great condition with low miles a few days ago. Always loved the stangs!
@@TAnimations how is it working? i’m about to buy an 05 V6 with 90k miles as my first car, any advice?
@@owenheinze5980 Wow only 90k miles for an 05 that's really low. Mine was 124k and that's really low for an 05. It's a great car I like it, I put a ton of money into it so far doing modifications but unfortunately I have to save my money right now because my job is giving me problems just incase I quit I can pay for the insurance (I'm 16 the insurance is $480 a month) but overall the car is awesome, very reliable and smooth.
@@owenheinze5980 - Buy it, and run.
I'm 25 but got me a 2005 mustang v6
im 60 & have an 08 pony package 4.0 manual trans.i dont rip in it.its a nice handling fairly comfortable fun car.i had several with 5.0's over the years.the 4.0 is fine for everyday driving without a big fuel & insurance penalty.will probably be my last car since my last one i drove for 27 years, it was destroyed by hitting a deer at 65 mph on the highway.but still ran great at 189k miles.it was well serviced & maintained.
Wow! Many of the points you make about a kid being vested in the car sounds exactly what my Pop did with myself back in 1977. I also remember the first set of tires I burned off in the first few months, my pop said to me "You can burn them off you can put them on" ouch that hurt for a kid working part time but the point was made in the wallet.
This is a great video, thanks. One suggestion, get a better mike setup to improve your sound when outside.
Noted. The constant battle between using a cord or not!
I bought my son an '09 4.0L 45th Anniversary manual 5-speed Mustang. It is real fun to drive. Peppy, but not a rocket. The 5-speed manual really makes it fun to drive.
Me, a 30yr old looking for my first car...
Hey I think I owe you a update on my V6 2011 Mustang I got. Thanks for helping me be ok with getting the car. It's a lot of fun to drive. A deer did end up deciding to hit my car out of nowhere in brad daylight and insurance will be fixing that soon and I can't open the door from the outside the passenger door anymore. Thanks Mongrel it's really awesome to drive. I'm using it for Jimmy John's when it's not winter I'm driving like 3k miles a month with the car and it's a lot of fun for that. I took it on a road trip a couple of times as well and it's really nice for that. I notice the elterionci governor that comes with it tops out at 118 on my car. The first time I did a 0-118 it was absolutely insane and was a ton of fun to do that. I just had to get a new set of tires for the car today so it's a good bit better now than the tires that weren't as good before. On my way home from work one day one of my tires exploaded a few days ago and got a spare on it took it home I got a new set today though and it's rated for 65k miles. I won't drive it in the winter but I had to settle for all season tires because it's all I was able to get at the time but they seam to work good. I plan on getting a detail schuded for it sometime on the outside and inside. I don't need one in the engine though because that looked like it was done when I got the car already. Thanks for making me feel better about buying that car that I really wanted. Honestly with how much I was looking for deals and couldn't find anything if I didn't find that last deal I would have honestly gave up on trying to get a Mustang because I was getting really frustrated with it. However it was worth it to be able to finally get the car. By the time I use the car again next year after I put it away I will get a new top for it sense the top was already ripped and had holes in it when I got it. The Deer would have torn that off if I wasn't driving with my top down when that happened. Oh yeah like last month I went to a Tesla show room and got a Test drive on a Standard range Model 3. That car was super fun to drive around for a little bit. Have you ever driven one? If you have not you should schedule a test drive with one. They will let anyone test drive one even if you don't have intention of wanting to get the car or can afford it or anything. My gas bill is a lot at $750 a month but I'm still saving a lot of money each month I feel guilty about the spending on the gas but I really like the car a lot though. Oh yeah the seats in the Tesla are the most comphy things I have ever sat in. Honestly as weird as it would be if it would work I might want to consider getting a Tesla seat and putting it in the driver seat of my car, depending on what I could get one of those seats for and if it would actually even work. With the road trip I took with my friend we just took that car and it ended up being tight on space but we had enough space to get by though so that worked out well for us. You know a few years ago I never thought I would make it through school, or ever get a drivers license or anything in my life or be able to ever live on my own I'm still working on that last one but I hope that does't have to happen for all that much longer and hopefully I can own a house soon and rent out one of the rooms or something or even better buy a like 150k house and put a tiny house on the land next to it and live in the tiny house and rent out the main house fully. If I do that I may end up getting the boxed 50k tiny house for that and put it on there when that time comes. That may take a little while for me to get to that point of being able to do that. but I hope to be able to get to that point as soon as I can. Thanks for everything Mongrel.
Appreciate the update. Sounds like you are on your way. Patience pays off; I just bought my next project car after shopping for nearly 2 years. When you are young it seems like 'life' takes forever but trust me, if you keep at it and are diligent and patient you will get there. I'm in my mid-50s and have a paid for house, four motorcycles and 4 vehicles, all bought with cash. Check out Dave Ramsey and follow his teachings for finances. It works!
@Mongrel Motorsports Thanks Mongrel I appreciate that. That's impressive you brought the house in cash as well? That's awesome that's really cool what cars and motorcycle do you have and what have you been shopping for, for 2 years? That's good that you got that to. I've been watching Dave Ramsey for several years actually along with some other people on TH-cam as well. That's awesome man I'm glad that you did all of that. I'm considering getting a second job if I can mentality and physically take it, in order to save up for a house faster to house hack or to save for a house and put a tiny house on it and effectively live on my own while having someone else pay a lot of the expenses of the house as well with the rent. For a while I invested everything I had into index funds and a little bit of a mutual fund in my ABLE account and Roth IRA. I'm still investing some but not much while trying to save for a house as quickly as I can. sense I last time I looked I have a little bit over 31k invested into Stuff like that and I just turned 22 If I never invest anything again at 67 if I can get 8% a year there should be a little over 1.1 million in there at that time. After I get a house I want to go carzy on investing more money after that again. I'm not sure yet if I want to follow Dave's plan of invest 15% and then pay off the house as quickly as possible with the extra money or if I will do a mix of them like invest 25% and then pay off the mortgage quickly or just invest everything I can and don't pay off the house early. I might take a 30 year mortgage so I can invest the difference and at the very least have the option if I get into a hard Finchaly time and could make that a little easier if that situation happened for the emingency fund as well. I want to have the ability to retire a lot sooner than 67 but if I can get 8% on what I have invested and never invest again I should be fine at 67 though. Thanks for everything Mongrel. I hope everything you do goes great for you.
I happen to own a 3.7L V6 Mustang for my first car, it is truly a great car! In drive mode it feels just like any other car and drives great just about anywhere, sport mode holds gears longer and feels faster off the line, there are things to learn about the car such as the fact that the rear wheels spin like crazy on a rainy day, but overall it is amazing and I feel like the power is perfectly balanced.
This is great. Didnt realize the hood for one of those is $1k!! Yikes!!! I was secretly hoping for some sort of old Audi to make an appearance at the end :)
Thank you for making this video
I’m 17 and got a 2007 mustang v6 and I live it
Completely agree on not buying the car for your kid. When I was younger, I took my parents' cars for joy rides(even have the videos on my channel lol) but I was pissed when my mom moved my car 10ft when I wasn't home. You definitely respect your own car more than you respect your parents cars.
my first car was a 93 volvo 240. Im going to look at 2006 mustang v6 next week lmao
Turn your mic up brother
Just financed a 2010 GT 5 speed for my 17yr old son. He has to pay the note and full coverage insurance on it. All the minor fixes it needs, he's also responsible for paying for that as well.
I bought my uncles 450hp '99 z28 for my first car and its tons of fun haha
worked 12 hour days 5 days a week at my dads plant all summer for it
Wrong thread.
I got a 03 v6 at 16. I love the car! I live in MA, so daily driving in the winter can be a bit sketchy. But you just gotta learn to control in. My next plan for a car in a couple of years is a new edge GT. Get that v8 sound but still not making too crazy of power. I definitely recommend a v6 stang from 99-07 as a good first car if you learn to respect it. Great video, keep up the work
I have an 05 mustang and it handles great
Hey man I’m buying my first car soon gonna be a 05 mustang, I’m learning how to drive right now.
I was wondering any tips on what to look for when inspecting the car?
@@icyzombies5281 always look for any rust under the car and shit and see if there isn’t any holes of molding and always check the dash if it has a engine service light and also look under the hood if there’s anything messed up and take it for a test run if they let you and listen for any rattling just in case
@@icyzombies5281 check the doors and the hood for the space ibetween if the panels don’t match and fit up perfectly they were replaced or changed out probably indicating the cat had been in an accident also check where the spare tire is for any dents to see if the cars been rear ended.
i’m a 18 year , and i’ve always been in love with stangs growing up. i previously had a 2017 passat rline with around 83k miles , but i sold it because it was just to much for me right now. but now , i’ve decided that my next car will be my dream car. i’m currently looking at a beautiful 2006 mustang v6 , light grey , pony package etc. i turn 19 in may and i know right now, a GT wouldn’t be the best option, especially having to pay for my insurance. i’ve been watching both your mustang vids on this car non stop because one, you’re mustang is absolutely sick, and two, you do such a good job explaining everything! is there any advice you could give me before i pull the trigger and make it official ?
Hi Tyler. You sound like just the person I made these videos for! My only addition to what I had in my videos is these cars are now getting a little old. Buy the nicest, lowest mileage one you can as it shouldn't cost a whole lot more. Be aware of the potential problems like the chain tensioners, look for oil leaks, etc. These are now a decade older than the VW you just sold. But, they are solid cars and not terribly hard to work on (unlike the VW-Audi stuff). Other than replacing a leaky brake caliper I haven't done anything to mine since making the videos. Parts on Rock Auto are very affordable. After a lifetime of European cars I'm really enjoying my Fords.
I just went to test drive an 06 v6. After test drive I decided not to buy. Too much car for a first vehicle
As someone who has a C6 Corvette as a young age it all comes down to respect for the vehicle if you don’t respect the car it’ll end up getting you hurt. I’ve driven Mustangs 05-10 are a lot more tame I would definitely recommend 300hp or less for 18 y/o or under in just my experience.
I’m 22 when I was 17 I bought a 78 f150 with a 351 then I had a 280z 5 speed then I had a 64 thunderbird with a 390 now I got a 78 with a 460 and a 68 falcon with a 200 inline
My first car is a 05 gt
I have 3 mustangs (S197) 2005, 2007&2009, all have be very reliable and decent, but truthfully I don't think it would be a good car for a first time driver, most (not all) younger drivers tend to be not as observant to speed or conditions of the road and frankly I've seen younger drivers driving reckless in sports cars (Camaro, mustang, challenger, Acura ECT)
Don’t tell me u have 3 v6s 😂
Hey I’m thinking ab buying the 09 model. How is it?
@@magicalpodcasts its good, got it at 59xxx from a dealer, it now has 132xxx and I haven't had any problems, no leaks, still pass smog without any problems, no smoking or any burnt fluids

I thought my first car was gonna be like a Honda civic or something, but nope I got a mustang 06 lol. It's a really nice car tho.
I really appreciate the breakdown of the video and what you are promoting. On the other hand i call bullshit on your thoughts in awd and 4x4. Yes generally speaking they help you accelerate but with throttle control and knowledge on how the system works makes a world of difference. Yes most young drivers are not going to have a clue. Yet that is where us as parents with experience have to actually help these kids nowadays. They are clueless. Please dont tell people that a first off v6 mustang is a good starting car. Its a ford fusion with a body kit. 2nd my son got his permit and the first thing i had him drive was my f250 super duty. Guess what he drives whatever he gets in like a champ..
"With throttle control and knowledge". Yes, but virtually no teens receive any training in that. I've instructed teen drivers on skid recovery among other skills. When they left my classes they had better skills than their parents...the people who would otherwise be teaching them how to drive. Judging by your handle you have more knowledge than 98% of the parents out there. Your kid is lucky if that is the case. But it is a rare exception. I'm not nearly as critical about pickups as I am parents giving their kids Jeep Wranglers or Subaru WRXs. I'd never recommend either of those to a new driver. A moderately powered V6 Mustang would be a far better choice.
great car definitely would recommend for new drives, but let's be honest get the 3.7, not the 4.0.
Can't hear you with the volume all the way up.
I have one it’s a good car
Keep it for yourself. Give your kid the Taurus. Good video!

How much you paying in insurance?
@@brandon-xc5kk I’m going to assume his insurance is like 130 almost 150 something
Always better to learn with manual trans and rwd in not so great weather. I learned on a 78 f150 4spd manual.
Nice vid. Lots of good advice for parents of teens. My kids are way past that age but at 70, I'm starting to look at 2011ish V-6's for just a hobby car. Main requirements are a stick and rag-top. Just lookin for a retro feel sports car from my youth. Like Miata's too but would probably blow out my knee bending to get in and out of one of those.
If you have bad knees, get an automatic.
It's not the shifting, it's the squatting so low to get in and out of a Miata
Even tho i have a 3v💪 sometimes i wish i would gotten a v6 just because of the gas mileage😖😖😖😖

first car I had was an 06 Grand Prix GXP at 17 It had similar power, similar weight, but it was a 4 door "family" car even with the 5.3 V8. It was FWD, though. I'm 19 with a 2010 Mustang GT PREMIUM. Great platform, and tbh.. as long as you know what you're getting into, you'll be fine. Just know you can slip, will slip, and need to take weather into account.
I know this is late but you mind me asking how your payments are on this ?
Put good tires on it.
Had a '98 v6 that was in piss poor condition. Had it for 7 years before I inevitably sold it. I restored and took great care of that car, I learned so much about cars and the auto industry, just because that car got me interested in learning about them. If it wasn't for owning a quote..."cool first car" I wouldn't have ever bothered to learn shit about cars. I now own an '05 3V S197 and I love the damn thing to death. The S197s was my dream car to have. And I am now looking to become an ASE Certified master tech.
As for owning a v6 Mustang as a first car....eh....They aren't super reliable at least not these S197's. Been told you have to rip the whole engine out of these things just to do a timing job (which they're notorious for failing), and the Autos in the S197s aren't all to great either. You're best off with a 3V with a manual.
You got a new subscriber, congrats!
This was wonderful. It's the antithesis to all the young Zoomer bros making Mustang hype videos. My kingdom for more videos of thoughtful, knowledgeable, experienced drivers giving sage wisdom on the practical considerations of owning and driving very powerful cars.
i know this is an old video, but for $6,000 with 150K miles, is that a good deal? it’s a 2007 v6

Awesome first car love it a lot
That's real good advice about perhaps matching the cost thereby giving the kid some real skin in the game. But my "spidey sense" just can't stop tingling at the thought of that blind-spot-filled brute as a "first car". From personal experience I'd say an old Honda Accord might be a good drama-free first learner and also teaching car. I taught my wife and both kids in our '96. Sadly, the so-called "Drivers Ed" courses in our schools are nothing like what I enjoyed in the '70s. There's little or no actual driving practice anymore, so it's either hire a driving school, teach 'em yourself, or a bit of both. I'm a fairly calm heart-beats-twice-a-minute sort of guy, but I won't pretend that Honda's centrally-placed emergency brake lever just there on my left wasn't a comfort or wasn't actually yanked on a couple of occasions to avert disaster. My best tip for those getting a new driver on the road is to bring them to a nice "foresty" state park on a slow weekday with its meandering bendy roads, a maybe 25 mph speed limit, and a few parking lots to practice different types of parking and other manouvers (backing, three-point turns, etc.) Go in a variety of weather conditions. As they get a handle on basic handling and operation, eventually allow them to drive part of the less trafficked way home from the park, and then the whole way home. After that, a few late morning rides out in the country, followed by trips to familiar often-visited locations in and around where you live and then a little highway/interstate practice. No radio and obviously no goddamned phone. Without being overbearing, share your observations and tips as you travel, even when you're driving: "Look well ahead into curves. It helps you get around more elegantly"..."Keep an eye on that asshole who didn't signal his lane change, he's likely to fidget again"...That sort of thing. Oh, and for you other old fossils out there: It ain't "hands on the wheel at 10 and 2" anymore. What with airbags it's now "8 and 4". But you can still wear that onion on your belt...
I'm currently 14. I'm planning on buying a 1999-04 Mustang V6. I've always had a love for them, and have been putting my all into being able to afford one when I am 16. Do you think a 1999-04 V6 could make a good first car? I'd like to see some other people opinions. Thank you for this video!
Me too man im 14 and want one of these i would say its better to get a 2005 or 2006 mustang v6 because its much more comfortable and they are very cheap i found one for 4k with no damage and good milage
I had a 2004 V6 mustang for my first car and it was a great little car. I mainly drove it to school and work so I got okay gas mileage and filled up maybe every week and a half. They do look a little more modest than the 05-09 Mustangs which is why I bought one of the older ones. Plus it was way cheaper at the time. I got a premium trim for $4750 with 130k miles in 2015 and sold it around 155k at the end of 2017 to get a Fusion. Here I am a few years later and I traded it in for a 2008 Mustang V6 last August 😂😂 I think they’re super practical for a young driver even though they’re a “sports car.” I would like to believe that the 05-09 Mustangs are a little bit more reliable but that’s just from my personal experience. Happy car hunting!
Oof is that exhaust stock? Sounds mega nice, I’m considering the V6 myself!

I would say no to that. But on the other side the average age for most accidents with mustangs are for men over the age of 40.
I gotta say your car is awesome, so is your video
Its good car for someone that works for and pays for it. Even if it's a v6, I feel like the ego of a teen owning isn't a good idea. Maybe a young adult, out of high school, has a job, and actually has matured a bit with real life experience rather than proclaiming you are 16 and mature, sorry lol. Maybe drive a beater first, and make mistakes on that first.
I bought mine at 20 after working for a year and saving the money. That sense of actually earning your car is amazing. I baby the heck out of it and it's made me a better driver too.
Just whatever you do, dont put so much cosmetic stuff on it. People really love to just add sooo many weird things on the v6 especially. Consider preserving the retro throwback look maybe with some subtle changes? it's kinda sad seeing these cars being "abused" like that lol if your going to dump money into it, spend it on a duel exhaust system instead.
My parents got me a race red 2011 v6 manual a few months ago
Great vid! Got my 18 yr old a v6 premium vert for graduating HS, 5 years and a few dings later and still runs like a top! Had 104k when bought with 1 precious owner, at 186k+ now and maintenance costs very reasonable. Now she wants my ‘14 GT vert:). Both with the manuals! That’s great advice by the way, almost no young person drives them so no worries on some other kid messing it up.
I am a 15 year old teenager and I am planning to buy a ford mustang s197 v6 manual and I am saving money to get but should I wait for be more older to buy it or should I buy it when I have the money?
I wouldn't buy one until you are of age to drive it. No sense just having it sit around. I'd also not borrow money to buy my first car, but it doesn't sound like you were going to do that. Insurance will be your biggest expense. Better price it out and budget for that.
It never hurts to call and get insurance quotes!
People out here thinking this is too much car and powerful. I’m 15 and don’t have a license or car yet, just a permit and have driven 111mph and fishtailed a Ferrari. It was my dads car tho bc I can’t afford that. I’m prob gonna get a gt
I’ve driven 550 hp as one of the first cars I’ve driven at 15

@@mroblivioustb2212 yeah lmao. I want the gt bc of sound mostly not even just speed.
@@everythingjonathan8008 True they sound Great.
Nice vid lot 2 think about
My first car was a 1982 Z28 Camaro fuel injected. I own a 2005 Ford Mustang V6. They are beautiful cars thankfully I don't have any children that being said. I think these cars probably would be good starter cars especially the V6 since it's not real powerful an insurance will be cheaper if I ever do have Children. God forbid I would probably purchase them a 2021 Corvette C8. I've always preferred Chevrolets these are truly beautiful cars. I get a lot of compliments on this car
I’m thinking about getting a mustang gt 4.6 for my first car because I would like to have it for awhile
i just turned 16 and i’m a couple days away from buying a 2006 mustang gt, should i consider other options?
I love my gt just be ready to be at the gas station a lot if u drive fast!
Thank you for this excellent video. We actually just bought a 2006 V6 Mustang convertible, a great deal and like new condition. Can you comment on safety compared to the regular roof? My wife saw a crash test video where they dinged it for the door opening in frontal crashes for the 2005 and 2006 model convertibles, so this video left her worried. Apparently a change was made in 2007 to address this.
I work in the collision repair/insurance industry. I actually see very few Mustangs in hard wrecks so can't really comment one way or the other. You give up strength in any convertible but all cars are built to a minimum standard for the year they are made. I find most Mustangs turn to scrap pretty quickly when they get crashed but they sacrifice themselves/absorb the impact to protect the occupants.
The convertible is heavier because of extra body braving, and for roof structure, there is none. It's a convertible with a few narrow strips of metal for the convertible fabric cover, but unless your driving like a madman, mustangs have a very low center of gravity and are not prone to flipping over, you can buy a after market roll bar to protect the passenger compartment in case of rollover
I’m getting a 2012 mustang passed down to me as my first car. Don’t really care about horsepower or anything. Just want something that gets me from point A to point B. Only thing I’m worried about is gas mileage since I would be using it daily.
Is a 2007 Ford Mustang convertible with 95,000 miles between 3 owners with no accidents for about 5,000 dollars a good deal?
take it for 4k
@@Scorpion_bomber do you know if i could program the key so the top goes down when i turn it on or if there is a remote i could get ?
Just bought a 2006 V6 with 50,000km (yes, really) for $9800 CDN. One previous owner and no accidents/rust. Clean as a whistle.
For $5000 US your vehicle is certainly at a good price. Especially if the engine hasn't been abused since they're bulletproof.
Just bought a 08 v6 hardtop with 180,000 for 2k. So far put 4500 into it. Harmonic balancer, random front end parts. Full fluid change. She runs like a champ though. So, 5k? Maybe. Did you buy it?
@@crisper1614 no right before i did the trans bonked out the dealer ( owned by a couple) were honest about but the price to fix it would have pushed up the price and they ened up trading it in so im looking again have a few i might be able to talk down to my price range
I have a 2005 Ford Mustang V6, it’s a very nice car In terms of power if your looking for a car that can push some power get the v8 the v6 is fairly fun to drive it feels very fast but in terms of actual power it’s got absolutely nothing but great car nun the less in my experience the gas does kinda run a bit but if your not driving fast all the time gas is no problem.
"Fairly fun" they are hella fun!
@@selfoblivionalex6262 ehh ive been driving it a lot it’s fun bro but not really that fun nothing like the v8
@@sleet4947 i know 4.0 it's like a diesel engine high torque at low revolutions per minute
Thanks to the 325 Nm of torque it feels faster than what it is and
It's enoughtly quick 0-100 in 7 seconds for his power to weight ratio, is impressive
Even a jeep compass is more lightweight
The best mod to this Mustang is weight reduction and 8.8 rear axle with 4.10 gears if u mod the engine Prioritize increasing the torque, horsepower does not increase much
My v6 Mustang does 246 HP but 392 Nm/290 Lb-ft at 3500 rpm
And feels way more faster than my v8 new edge
And remember "is more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow"
@@Vendetta_TV I’d rather drive a fast car than a slow one but the v6 mustang really isn’t slow I have a muffler delete and I feel like the car has more throttle response but barley.
@@sleet4947 i know buddy it was My first car and i love the v6 4.0 engine
Has a Lot of torque and it's enoughtly quick for a first car not slow as a corolla but not fast as a GT is the perfect balance between 8-10 seconds average Cars to 5 seconds of sport Cars like the Mustang GT or a Nissan 350z it's a 7 seconds car that enought to drive as a first car, it's the same acceleration of a Civic type R
Or a corolla t sport supercharged hahaha
Great vid, what’s your exhaust setup?? Sounds great✅
Flowmaster dual conversion kit
@@mongrelmotorsports Thanks!
How much do one of these go for? I'm looking for a decent preowned one, probably gonna buy private.
Marketplace or Craigslist. Picked me up a 2005 for 3.9k that’s in really good condition. They’re really not too expensive
I got a 2006 v6 with the pony package. Cold air intake and a flowmaster exhaust. 110000 miles and I paid 6 grand. Awesome car!!
@@SF-ho7rxI see a 2005 one as well, for $4k
Just bought my first car its an 2006 v6 mustang
yoo, im thinking about buying one rn for my first, either a 2010 or 2014, you think its worth it?
@@jskoov8624 for a first car i think its nice, i can do a lil bit too it. It doesnt have too much power which is good in my case cuz i wanna be able to hanble small amounts before i go bigger
@@tear6638 they sell fast, and used old is very expensive here in seattle, ive been trying to find one lmao, thats good to hear. how about high mileage, whats the most moleage youd buy a mustang for?
@@jskoov8624 what milage id get depends on what all im willing to do, im in college to be a technician so i dont mind getting a fixer upper, but if you not id say dont go 150k, cuz if somin like timing or head gaskets fail on a 4.0 sohc then thats a pain in the ass to fix
You could find one that needs work done like a bad trans or somin and then get it cheap, i bought one with head gaskets blown this time around n i got it for $700, im putting all new seals, and timing chains n all that to prevent any future problems
I really want a 4L paired with the 5 Speed, it sounds like a complete hoot minus having to ever to do a timing chain 😳
@toomuchdrip9054 Haha yes this one ): I really crave a Mustang but don't want Mustang problems hahaha. I've owned two SN95s GTs both convertible with the 5 shooter but one was a 5L and the other 4.6L, sadly they had their fair share of issues
i was looking at one but it was 3,000 and i dont have that but i gess i will dream
Is it me or this guy talks exactly like Ray Romano?! My God! 🤣🤣
That made me laugh. Thanks! I think.
@@mongrelmotorsports its a compliment 👍🏼😆! Nice video ! Enjoyed very much. I’m planning on getting a 2007 GT/CS this very month!
.....only if the teen's dad is a mechanic :-) or has a big budget for repairs.
I wholly disagree. Aside from a thermostat housing and some rear control arms I've had to repair nothing on mine.
I am really considering finding a 2005 v6 mustang, if I were to change gearing from 3.55 to 3.91 will it be a noticeable difference I live in Quebec and I would learn stick with that. I am 19
Makes a big difference, especially with an automatic. Your fuel mileage will suffer though. And you'll have to get the computer reprogrammed to correct the odometer.
@@mongrelmotorsports i would only get a manual and thanks for the advice appreciate your time
Opinions on ‘10 mustang v6?
Same car, just with freshened styling.
Mileage??
I wanted to know how good the gas mileage will be on the car like average how much a week I would have to put for a daily car?
Expect low 20s, like 23-24 mpg daily around town use.
I bought my 2005 Mustang 4.0L when it was only 4 years old with 36,000 miles. No matter how I drive it, I get 21-22 mpg. Lots of passing power, because they are low geared, so it tops out at 107 mph. You will need snow tires for winter, or you will whip the rear end out from under it in the winter. I love that car and it is my daily driver. I now have 166,000 miles on it. I saw one on youtube with 327,000 miles on it.
I pay $115 total for 6 months of liability insurance coverage for my 2005 Mustang, with State Farm Insurance, here in ND.
I'm thinking about buying v6 2007 convertible but many ppl tell me not to 😬 is it that bad ?
Same cautions as the coupe. The convertible top is expensive to replace, so make certain it is in good shape. I have a video about what to look for in a used one.
@@mongrelmotorsports thank you so much sir . I will check the video out 🤝🏻
I got a 2006 ford mustang hardtop automatic it’s not that bad came customized when I bought it and 60$ to fill up the tank
@@mongrelmotorsports I heard they like to leak a lot of the time. wanted a convertible but maybe it's not worth the trouble
No convertibles. I hate convertibles - too much work.

Is a 2017 v6 worth it?
I’m buying a 2002, Mustang V6 for $600 and seems like a good deal, checking it today for any frame problems and etc. Does that seem like a scam? Or is it a good deal? This is my very first car I’m thinking of buying
Seems awful cheap. Parts car price. I'd be very concerned about rust, particularly the front shock towers and frame rails.
@@mongrelmotorsports thanks, is there anything else that would cause major dents in my wallet that I would need to look for?
