Thoroughly inspect for rust, especially in the frame rails and wheel wells, as these cars are prone to corrosion.
Check for evidence of extensive modifications or botched aftermarket installations, which can indicate hard use and potential reliability issues.
Perform a comprehensive test drive to check for unusual noises from the drivetrain, suspension, and brakes.
Verify maintenance records to ensure regular oil changes and service, crucial for V8 engine longevity.
Conduct a pre-purchase inspection by a trusted mechanic familiar with Mustangs to uncover hidden problems.
Factor in insurance costs, as performance cars can be more expensive to cover, especially for younger drivers.
Be prepared for higher fuel expenses, particularly with the V8 engines, and consider premium fuel requirements for some trims.
