I wouldn't mind having a Mustang but right now I need a car that will go 150-200k and not be a rat trap after 100k. I have 3 friends with F-150s that are disintegrating after 120k in the salt here.
This has already been noted by my pilot buddy who bought a gorgeous Kona Blue Stang 5.0 last year. After only 20k miles the car is noticeably "looser" and developed a nifty dash rattle. He hasn't had any shifter or trans issues (6 speed) but he swears he has heard the dreaded pinion bearing noise after a high speed highway run with me in the SRT. Turns out he has a limiter that stops the fun at about 150 mph, too bad.
It's still a beautiful car but no way will it run 200k miles unless you haul it on a trailer IMO.
