I'm telling you right now and people are going to hate me for this. Get the mustang. Find one an old man drove that was his baby. Look at the 99-04 models. 94-98 had electrical issues and the gauges had a tendancy to have problems. About the only issues with the 99-04's you will find are exhaust manifold leaks. Has your brother ever owned that body style mustang or is he just another Ford hater in general. The this brand is better than this brand bull**** gets old and half the people don't know what the hell they are talking about. They speak out of their ass cause they have one brand, and have no idea about the other. Cars have come along way and most cars will last forever.
