Unless you are specifically looking for a project or a classic and
do not want to worry about repairs I always recommend the newer the
better. For instance, my modified 89 just shy of 400HP will get 12MPG,
on the sticker it says IIRC 13 or 14 and was subject to a "gas guzzler"
tax in the 80s and 90s. The current GT rolls off the lot with 420 HP and
can get 26MPG on the highway. The refinements on cars are better every
year as well.
