Man Doubles Value of Cheapest V8 Ford Mustang in Australia

A YouTuber named Matty Willo bought a cheap V8 Ford Mustang in Australia. The car was from 2016 and had some damage when it arrived at a salvage (damaged goods) auction. The car had a broken front bumper and was hard to look at.

Matty paid $17,250 AUD for the Mustang, plus extra fees. After everything, the total cost was $20,000 AUD. This was a risky choice, but the car still had some good points. It had a powerful V8 engine and low mileage of just 34,092 miles.

The car needed repairs to make it safe and usable. The damage was mostly in the front, with missing parts and a bent frame. Luckily, the main structure of the car was fine. Matty ordered new parts that cost about $2,500 AUD.

After fixing the car and adding new wheels, Matty spent around $26,000 AUD in total. This is a good price compared to other V8 Mustangs in Australia. Matty made a good investment.
