1995 Mustang
I am looking at a 95 mustang hardtop right now. teh body appears to be in nice shape. its an automatic. has fancier cloth seats. i see a ton of this generation mustang on dealers lots. is there a reason for this? did they hyave a limited life span? is it just that so many of them were sold. they want 3200 for the car. no mention of what motor is in it or the miles. its just that there are so many of these around and i am wondering whats the deal?

I've had a '95 coupe for about 6 years now. 3.8 v6, 5-speed. Pretty much just a base model, but I'm tickled with it. Just turned over 100,000 miles a couple weeks ago and the only problem I've had was a camshaft position sensor, which was an easy fix. On the highway I consistently get 30mpg and the car is a "nice drive".
Sure, the V6 is no powerhouse and seems a bit on the anemic side when the A/C compressor is engaged but I'm not complaining when I can go so far between stops at the local Citgo station.
I believe that, at one time, they had issues with the head gaskets on the 3.8 but that some changes in the gasket design took care of that problem. Mine has already had them changed out and I've had zero problems.
I would think the car may feel a bit "doggier" with the auto than the 5-speed, but a good test drive should tell you if it has enough spunk for your needs. They did sell a blue-million of the things, so I s'pose that it would follow that there's a bunch of 'em around for sale. I have no plans to sell mine, that's for sure....
