I wonder if you bought that Mustang new? I had a 80 Pinto that was made in Michigan, my girlfriend at the time had one that was made in Canada, and a friend had one that was made in Mexico. None of them had any problems while we owned them. Mine had 119K miles on it when I sold it. You can always get a lemon, hopefully when you do you live in a state with anti-lemon laws.
I have had problems with almost all the cars I bought used. Most owners do not seem to get the idea of maintenance. They are like Paul and his lease cars. The only car I bought new that I had problems with was the Escort, it ate tie rods and rear axle bearings; but the diesel drive train was sweet, if only I could have had that in a diver car...
