Could I get some advice on a 72' ford mustang?

[Johnny boi]

ok well im 17 and i was wondering is a 72' ford mustang a good buy for a first time car. the car is in good condition the engine has been rebuilt and it 98,000 miles for 6k....
also like how much would it be to maintain it as far as a yearly tune up? and like how much would it be to replace damages if i get into an accident?

you can't trust the odometer, they only go to 99,999, it could have 198k on it. If it's a v8 you wont be happy with the gas mileage for commuting. tune ups are easy if you learn how..

Could be a good first car and a good investment . not a bad price if the car is in good shape . I had a 69 mustang for a first car and it was a good one . The only down side is gas mileage if you don't live in one of the states that has way high gas prices like i do then you are set . As far as maintaining it , shouldn't cost that much for cap and rotor and spark plugs every so many thousand miles . If you wreck it however you might have a hard time finding parts for it unless you order them and that can get spendy . If the car feels comfortable and you enjoy driving it then it would be a good choice.

If you are going to pay $6,000 for a car the newer cars are much more reliable. You are also going to find that the parts are very high priced for it if you need to replace any thing. I would say mustangs don't handle as well as newer cars either so you are more apt to smash it up, if it has any kind of good engine in it.

for a fisrt car sure depends on how much it is and any body shop can fix it pricing depends on where its damaged also and i never heard of a engine rebuild for 6k? it should be less then 1k and there look nice and yearly mantinece just get th oil changed on time and thats all you should worry about!
