Yup. Same thing I did.

I remember my 1999 GT i bought in 2002, 3 year old car with 39,000 miles on it, bought it for $13,000.
A 2019 GT right now with those miles are going for mid to high $30Ks, as much as they were new. Insane times.

I wonder what my 1 owner 18k mile mystic would go for?

If I lived down south, I'd have a >1998 Mustang GT w/manual as my daily driver. IMHO, Mustangs have been one of the consistently best built vehicles America has ever produced.
I've owned a 1980, a couple 2001's, a 2005, and the current 2020. All very dependable vehicles. Somewhere around 240,000 miles between them all. Only new one I've ever owned is the 2020. Loved them all.
Thanks Flat Rock!

But the 96-98 GTs were the turds of the bunch.
Time to put the garage dust collector up and see what a lowly 2v with 60k can get nowadays.
Nope. Not even close
This is not a good time for younger people to get into the car scene. Prices of everything went to the moon. Back in 1995, I was a 22 year old kid and got my first real job. A few months later I bought a used 91 coupe in mint condition with 19K miles on it for $8500. I don't think today's generation will have any chance at doing something similar.
Not gonna lie, I would enjoy tinkering on a Shitbox SN95 again
And that’s partly in my opinion why the car scene is dying and/ or why kids have switched over to a lot of rust rockets with loud exhaust and vendor stickers.
It’s not reasonable for kids for affordability as it once was, car : parts: gas: insurance.
No wonder kids lock themselves inside and play video games like forza. Heck of a lot cheaper.
In 1999 I was able to buy myself a 1970 Camaro that was in pretty good shape. I also was able to mod it, all on a high school budget, paid $5,500 for it. I couldn’t even think about the possibility of buying one in today’s market. Even rust buckets are going for high dollars. The car flippers/investors in my opinion killed the car scene for the future generation of upcoming gear heads.

What was bad about them? Serious question as i dont know. I thought 94/95 were the ones to avoid? Is 99-04 that much better?
I drove a couple 98 GTs and they seemed ok to me. they sure looked good.

94-95 still used the 5.0.
96-98 GT went to 4.6 2v rated at 215-225hp.
99-04 GT was also 4.6 2v, but with PI (performance improved) heads, cams, and intake. I thought they had a different compression ratio too thanks to different pistons.
Even though the 94-95 GT didn't really make any more power than the 96-98, they had the more desirable 5.0 which seems to have saved them from falling into the same "turd" category as far as I can tell.
Keep context... I graduated in 99 also... I made like $5 an hour... now I make closer to $30
I had a 1989 black mustang gt 5.0 I bought for $4300... I could probably buy an even nicer one than I had, today for 20-25k.
So nothing actually changed.
People post ads from the 60s muscle cars for 3 or 4k... I'm like.. of course... they made 1 dollar an hour.
Context.
That said I'm expecting my next raise to be SIGNIFICANT.
