Hey, I'm 16 years old and I'm looking at my first car. I'm interested in getting a mustang, I'm looking at a 1969 Mustang Grande right now. But my parents dont like the idea as much as I do. They haven't said no, but they arn't saying yes. I have come up with some good reasons as to why I should get one, but I need more. I need some good reasons why I should get one. Thanks

My first car was an '85 honda accord, 4 door, peeling paint, no radio or A/C and died at every stop. When I wanted to buy a 1970 skylark, I used the excuse of crash protection....my tank would saw through most plastic on the road...it worked!

Well I have about $5000, so it would be a good one, not the best but you can get a good car of that year for 5k. Im looking at a mustang grande right now, that is almost mint, but the hood needs to be replaced.

Because the grande's arn't as desirable as other mustangs, you can really nice one in good condition for a good price. Thats a reason right there. Price. and, its American!

Best reason it is easy to work on and you would like to learn to do your own repairs. Parts are fairly cheap. Imports parts are big $$$$ and most cars of today where not built to last like the cars of the 60s

Just be prepaired for every little thing to go wrong. It takes a lot of time just to deal with the needs of an older car. But once you have one everybody is jealous(well I don't know about a grande but it is a star). If you get a bad one though don't let it stop you from buying another old car in your life, because some are money pits.

Man you are still being a total pr**k JUGHEAD!!!! . I have been spending less time here and the fisrt two post I view you have some jackass response to them. If you can't add something positive to a post then why add something at all. I guess you just want everyone here to see that you are nothing but a ass hole and you can not control what or how you act.
