What should I do /pol/? What car should a poor man like me get while I don't have much money at all (that doesn't make me look like a total tool)

You can try to find someone that would take it as a trade. There are plenty of cheap dakotas. Wranglers occasionally. These are both known as vehicles that need TLC though.

FWIW I doubt you'll get squat for the Mustang as is so may as well just set it aside for the moment and get a driver. Come back to the Mustang when it's warmer and you can enjoy it.

Where the fuck did you get this idea?

Do me a favor and sit in the drivers seat until you realize the steering wheel and gauge cluster point out the window.

This is bait guys. Everyone go home

Like clockwork

this isnt bait, i want an actual reliable car. Dakota isn't reliable?

>>16462098
/o/ shits all over Dodges because a SRT-4 smoked their Civic. You should expect to wrench on it from time to time.
>>
>>16461956
The SN95 is one of the most reliable cars there is, it's just a 2 door Crown Victoria.
You have to maintain them though, dipshit, and that's part of owning a sports car (or any car, really).
>I've only lost to a GTR
When you race nothing but Civics I can see that, but my guess is you run your mouth about how """""""fast""""""" your Mustang is but when someone with an actual fast car wants you to nut up you find some excuse to bitch out.
>>
>>16462098
No it's not.
People are calling this bait because you didn't suggest something the likes of a Tacoma or T100.

from the same part of his brain that told him to buy a fucking abused mustang. He did join the army....OPs IQ isnt in the triple digits.

honestly many of those fixes are not to expensive if done by yourself and can be done without much hassle if you are not a retard. parts are cheap its just the work. Also you wont get shit from these things back especially if they are not running well.. My advice is get a repair manual and get wrenching yourself. You can work on it all winter, learn to work on shit by yourself. It will save you some money by the end.

Get it saleable and screw some dealer into taking it as a trade-in

>>16462120
SRT-4 is the only dodge I would ever own. Wouldn't call it reliable but at least its cool. their regular cars are garbage
>>
>>16465220
I was gonna say. Medical discharges are not dishonorable.

TOP KEK
Also how's it feel to be in a piss-ant police state where you're cucked out of making your car the way you want it?

>>16465220
as long as you've put in enough time on your contract you get it. if you don't meet the time requirement they pro-rate the benefit. i think its at least one full year of service but don't quote me.
>>
You lost me at "snow tires" on your pusstang. No wonder why you have a milky discharge
>>
You fucked up lol. I bought my mustang with 70,000 miles. The 2 owners before me babied it and had all oil change records and service records. Me I beat the shit out of it for 25,000 miles and sold it for 1000 less than what I paid. I DD'd it through a winter and smashed it up in the summer. Got the work done for cheap without going through insurance so no record of any accident. No ragrets.

How much can I transplant from a crown vic? Say I wanted such a thing (panther coupe) but wouldn't be caught dead in an SN.
>>
>>16461956
why would you knowingly buy a car that had so much wrong with it
the cost of all the shit you listed is WAY MORE than a single speeding ticket
you really shoulda been a lot smarter
this is why most people shouldnt buy pre modified cars, because they do a really half assed job inspecting it and test driving
