#6 of 45 1992 LX Hatchback - Restore or Sell? by tibbi May 10, 2006 (4:33 pm)
I am the second owner of a '92 LX 2.3 ltr, 5 spd manual, 65K miles and am wondering if I should restore it or sell it? It's in super condition inside with no rusted out spots but has some passanger door damage (hubby backed into it ). Since the car is so sound mechanically and for the most part body-wise, I'd like opinions on whether or not it would have any value as a restored car to keep for show or if I should just sell it . I don't drive it and it's still garaged, but I am uncertain as to which avenue to take. I appreciate any advice you all could provide - thanks for any response!

Replying to: tibbi (May 10, 2006 4:33 pm) 4cyl Mustangs aren't really worth restoring for show, unless they're the rare mid-80s turbo models.   Only reason to restore would be for your use (i.e. if it were a car to which you're really attached and want to keep driving). But since it seems it's not, I'd say sell it. Get yourself a '06 Mustang! Replies to this message: tibbi (May 11, 2006 6:08 pm)

Replying to: john_324 (May 11, 2006 11:30 am) Thanks John and I'm not that attached to it, except for the fact it gets better milage than anything else I own and it's in such good shape I almost hate to drive it :0. Appreciate your advice and I'll take it to heart! Now my former 'Stang, a '67 fastback, I should have restored but hindsight is so good isn't it?
#9 of 45 Please Keep your 1992 Mustang LX Hatchback by gtgtcobra May 11, 2006 (6:24 pm)
If I were you, I would keep the 1992 Mustang LX 4 cylinder hatchback. Even if you are not attached to it, if it's in good condition, you should keep it and just drive it. It's economical and you don't have a car payment. These are 2 things which you should take into consideration. If there's nothing wrong with your 92 Mustang LX, keep it and drive it. You may want to take it to Maaco and have the door fixed and the car repainted for a few hundred dollars. Then your 92 LX will look like brand new and you can keep driving it like a new car and have excellent fuel economy with it and NO car payments. That's what I would do. Take my advice. Keep it!

Replying to: gtgtcobra (May 11, 2006 6:24 pm) gtgtcobra, Thanks for the advice - it really is economical and with the price of gas these days it makes a lot of sense! Tibbi
#11 of 45 So, are you Going to Keep you 1992 LX Hatchback now? by gtgtcobra May 13, 2006 (10:22 am)

#12 of 45 Should I sell? by gnr331 May 15, 2006 (6:52 am)
I have a 93' 4cyl LX.   exterior is in very good shape..paint still shines but the end of the bumper is cracked and a small paint chip on the hood. Rims are in bad shape.   interior is also in very good shape except for the storage compartment on the driver door is torn.   The engine rattles when idle, no AC, needs new antenna wiring & scrapes on the ground with 4-5 people.   I was asking for $1500 but someone is offering $1000 but now I'm considering not selling it. I mean what am I going to do with $1000? I'll just by a new car and keep the stang and fix it up someday.   Do you agree or does any think I should just sell it?

Replying to: gnr331 (May 15, 2006 6:52 am) Well, Mustang parts (like new wheels, springs, etc.) are widely available, so you'll have no trouble getting her back in shape (assuming no major engine problems).   If you're thinking of keeping her for a fun weekend car, then I'd say why not. Is it a 5-spd?   Also depends on what sort of new car you're planning to get as well... Replies to this message: gtgtcobra (May 16, 2006 2:37 pm)

Replying to: john_324 (May 16, 2006 6:40 am) Keep it. You are stupid if you sell it. Fix it up and drive it. That's what I would do. An old Mustang is a too good thing to give up.
