This car was used by Meadow Soprano (Jamie-Lynn Sigler) appearing in episodes 4.13, 5.01 and 5.09 (in that episode it is used by her boyfriend Finn DeTrolio (Will Janowitz)). -- Last edit: 2012-10-23 22:21:31 |

Why does Meadow drive a filthy old heap? You'd think Tony would buy her something nicer. Her car is much worse than AJ's. -- Last edit: 2013-12-07 06:42:38 |

Maybe it's her boyfriend Finn's car. It's still much cooler than what she'd get to drive at her age if she lived in Britain (wouldn't be something with a 5 litre engine!) |

In the UK can't you buy a 2nd hand German limo (S-Class) for peanuts? That would be far better than a Mustang. |

Buy? yes. Insure? No. If insurance wasn't such a gutsache I'd be driving an XJR right now. |

How much is insurance? |

These days, for somebody who is just starting to drive it would be at least £2,000, even on something like a Fiesta. Though some people I know have been quoted even more. More for cars that are seen as a higher risk, or areas with lots of accidents/thefts. They would probably be refused cover on an XJR or something like that. I do wonder how a lot of footballers get cover for the flash sports cars and Range Rovers they tend to drive. |

That's quite a bit, but Meadow was 21 in this episode so she's hardly "just starting" to drive. Also whatever car she does drive would likely be insured in her father's name, reducing the premium substantially. Also G-MANN, this generation Mustang had a 4.6L V8, not 5.0L. It only put out 260 hp which is less than today's Honda Accord V6. -- Last edit: 2013-12-08 00:51:40 |

In Britain car insurance is very prohibitive and expensive when you're a young driver. A 21 year old student would surely have to pay thousands to insure a 260bhp car (which is quite powerful really) I wonder as well, but when money's no object... -- Last edit: 2013-12-09 20:04:40 |

He's already paying a fortune for her to go to Columbia university, wasn't there one episode where they got roped into donating 50 grand to the place? |

Not that I like this Mustang, I think it is crap. But most of us consider newer/flashier cars much more uninteresting than this car. -- Last edit: 2013-12-09 20:37:35 |

Was probably nicer when she got it, probably didn't take care of it |
