Hi, I'm new here. I've been looking to purchase a convertible as an extra car. This won't be my daily driver, it will be more of a car to enjoy on nice summer days. The two things that I really wanted were a manual transmission and a hard top convertible. I looked at the Infiniti G37 convertibles but there aren't many to be found throughout the country especially with a manual. And I don't have much faith in reliability of German luxury brands so I've decided to go with a Mustang. The soft top obviously isn't my preference but that's okay, I can't have everything. I've been a Mustang lover since the I was kid in the 80's but never actually owned one.
My budget is a maximum of $25,000 and I'm looking to get a used 2015 - 2019 model. Are there any major reliability issues with the Mustangs that I should know about or be on the lookout for? To be honest I'll probably end up with the Ecoboost or the V6. The V8 would be nice but considering this is just an extra car to enjoy on nice days I can't justify the large premium price of the V8.
And although it's not impossible to find these with a manual, my recent searching has shown that I'm going to have to travel fairly far from where live. The closet I'm finding right now are 2.5 to hours from here.
As I said above my question is if there is anything specific I should know about or be on the lookout for.
Thanks in advance
Brian
