Hi there Bram.

Isn´t there a local Ford car dealer where you live that can help you?

Hi Bram.

Three years ago my wife and I were in Hawaii and on one of the islands the rental car we had ordered was not available. The only thing they had ready to go for us was a Mustang. We thought "oooo, a chance to ride around in an American legend for a few days!". Anyway, just a few minutes after we had left the car lot we were regretting it. The interior was cheap and plastic, the storage space limited at best, and the performance extremely ordinary. Bottom line was that we thought it was pretty dreadful. Now, this was probably a low-end model and the newer ones may be much better, but I would certainly want to try one out before slapping my money down.

Oh, and also, I can't see the point in having a sportscar with an automatic transmission. But that's just personal opinion I guess.

The Mustangs are nice. I would not get a low end one though. I'm probably biased since I can walk to the factory where they build them from my house.  8)
Everything is better when you are wearing purple shoes.

Last June we got a Ford Focus after getting one as a rental for 3 days.  We had a 97 Taurus Wagon and it was on its last legs.  We love this one.  Its getting 30mpg and thats city driving.

Neither of those comes even close to being defined as a muscle car, lol.

You should look for a classic mustang, not the new ones.

Hi guys, and thanks for your answers.
Yes, Tjalle, here there are some dealers, but to much expensive to buy from them. Because there are too many brokers, and that mean too much money.
Finally I found an USA exporter, and believe me, I will save, minimum 4.000â,¬. But Im still considering to buy directly from some USA owners to save some money, if possible. The final price here is more or les 30.000 euros, so, considering the USA price is the half for american people, thats not a cheap price to outside USA buyers. But anyway. I like so much that car. The look and the motor powerfull are fantastics for me.
Thanks for that web Ian, I will check, of course.
You are right Hoffs, the american cars have too much plastic, but also my current car, and its a premium car, BMW 525, from 2006. I saw here and drove, just for check, some actual Mustangs, and the finishes are not too bad. So, thats not too much problem. No idea about the previous mustangs, but from 2013 the final finishes are pretty nice.
Troop, if you can steal some car from that factory we can arrange a good price for you hehe. If you need some help I can go there.  ;D
Sara, Im looking for that car in the whole american country. It seems in Texas are cheaper, but also in Florida. And also the USA exporter I found is from Miami, so, if finally I found the car close to you, probably I will go to check the car and meet you =). And probably accompanied with the girl I have in my house, as aupair (helping with my son and teaching him in english), she's from Miami, to help me there with my quite poor english.  :D
Vortex, my knowledge about muscle cars is poor, but still want the new ones, lol.
Im pretty close to finish the deal, so I will let you know when the trade is finished.
Thanks again for your help.
God save the guild.  ;D

Tjalle

Don´t let Troop steal any cars for you or you will end up with a purple car.  ;)

Oh, and once you´ve bought a car, pls post a pic of it.

If you find something in Texas, let me know, I might be able to check it out. Be very careful with anything you do, there are a lot of scams involving autos, especially on ebay motors and craigslist. I can help if you need a particular exporter or seller checked out. If the deal sounds too good to be true, it often is.

This is my summer ride :) Sorry but i'm giving my son this car.

UncleSham

wow , nice . lucky son . i hope he appreciates it . looks like ... what '69 . early '70s?
(i had a 73 camaro zrx)

the newer cars are more efficient i suppose , but also have more to go wrong . theres alot to be said for the simplicity and raw power of old heavy metal.

Plus easier to work on. I hate EFI.

Very nice car Morder!

Bram

Wow. Wonderfull car Morder. If your son dont want it ... let me know heheh  ;D
Finally I send some money to reserve the black car I posted. I can say my contact in USA is right dealer and he will check the seller is not a scamer, so, thx so much Troop for your offer , but I guess it will be not necessary your help.
I cant wait the moment having that car.
