How much are 5.0 Fox Body Mustangs worth? (insurance, auto, best) - Ford and Lincoln -Car forums - City-Data Forum

I sorta want to get one as a daily driver. Found a 1992 fastback model that has 155k on it, fairly new exhaust and a hurst shifter. Also has power windows and locks and a Pioneer CD player. Has factory 5 star rims. Body doesn't have much rust but does have OG paint that is faded in some areas. Drivers seat has a little wear and tear. They're asking $4500 firm. It's not a GT model or a Cobra, just a basic 5.0 Mustang. Light metallic blue in color.

However I'm not sure what the market is on these cars and I don't always trust what KBB or those sites say.

I'd pass with that price. $4500 can get you a pretty nice early 4th gen and especially 3rd gen.

I myself have now decided I want a 4th gen pony with a preference towards a ram air trans am.

Agreed, the price seems high for a rust-country car. If you were looking at one that had been stored winters, maybe $4500 would be OK.

What do you mean by "OG paint"?

155K urban/suburban miles probably means it has either just got a clutch or will need one soon I would guess.

You should get a 78 King Cobra

Better off staying away from a GT and go with a LX 5.0.

Same exact engine set-up, but the GT will be higher for auto insurance.

The value of 5.0's continues to climb, but I don't think I'd pay $4500 for a 155K Fox with some rust and a worn interior. Many of these high mileage Stangs have been abused.

Unless it's in great shape, $4500 seems steep.

try to find a notchback 5.0LX they are the best bang for the buck fox body mustang and faster than the hatchback's and GT's stock for stock

When I mentioned what I did about the rust, I meant like it has almost no rust on it. maybe a speckle of surface rust in a few spots. Definitely no rot.

OG = original....it has the original paint.

LOL you mean one of those Pintostangs? I thought they died out with 8 tracks, disco and Charlie's Angels?

Seriously unless it were priced cheap I don't think I'd ever consider a Pintostang II.
