So I see these "mustang" 302's for sale all the time with 20k up to 80k. I was wondering where all these low mileage mustangs are? So, who has a foxbody mustang with under a 100k? Any pics?

20-80k mileage for a foxboday is HELLA low,, where exactly are you finding these cars.. cuz i want to be one with that low mileage ASAP... because on the foxes on craigslist i see on a daily basis,, are junkies and /or have been through the ringer a couple of times.

I know...can you believe some of the shit mustang fox bodies on craigslist. I mean if the asking price matched the car then okay, but 4-5K for a stained ugly beat up mustang is outragous.

There are a number of members though that have far below 100K miles. I have 164,000 and fell that is pretty damn low hahaha

The 1 doesn't show on the odometer to mark 100k+ readings so 20k miles might actually be 120k

I meant the engines. I always see low mile engines but most of these cars have over 100k.

IMO people selling engines with that kind of mileage are either liars, or the motor came out of a wrecked mustang

low milage engines could very well have been re-built at some point. If this is what the seller claims then ask for reciepts. If the seller claims that car had that many miles on it then you can always ask to see the car it came out of or get a carfax.

If the seller doesn't have the car it came out of and doesn't have any kind of receipts for a rebuild then you are obviously taking a chance.

Your best bet is to bring a mechanic w/ you to check it out.
