    Should I pass this up or not?

    If the drivetrain and interior are really nice it will be mine. Paint is easily fixable for me since i go to school for autobody and my dad runs one. I read earlier that the mach's get the same gas mileage as the gt, is this true or should i really care since i get 8-12mpg right now? sorry for...

    Should I pass this up or not?

    I dont plan on driving it near as hard as i did my gt. It will be used for a couple months of driving 170 miles roundtrip daily on the interstate then it will be sitting quite a bit as i ride my gsxr. If all goes well, ill be the proud owner of a mach tomorrow.

    Think your local dealer's markup is bad? Lucky you live Hawaii!!

    Thats pretty big markup. A dealership around here sold one for i think 200k and it was the only one they sold. whoever bought it was letting them keep it in the showroom for some reason. Whoever bought it has to much money to buy a car then keep it at the dealer and not drive it.

    Should I pass this up or not?

    lol i dont know about that one. For some reason mustangs seem to be selling high over by st.louis for some reason. Normally i wouldnt get to go look, but with the hail and very hard rain yesterday i got the rest of the week off and getting paid to sit on my ass and do nothing. If i had a carfax...

    Should I pass this up or not?

    im about 30 minutes away from it, im going to go look at it 1st thing in the morning. hopefully it was used as a show car or something and hasnt been abused. who knows. but with the mileage and price its really hard to pass up.

    Should I pass this up or not?

    I think im going to try to get this tomorrow. The dealer said it was bought by some 16 year old that his gma bought it for him and he's 19 now and traded it off for a lifted 4x4. been there done that. He said it looks absolutely perfect and it appears to still have the stock goodyears. Here is...

    What to look for

    Well went to look at the mach today. the vinyl on the hood was almost completely ripped off, chin spoiler has seen about 3-4 curbs. cobra r's with absolutely no tread on the back, and i could barely push the clutch in. the throwout bearing was whining enough i couldnt hear the motor. Pretty much...

    What to look for

    Alright, thanks for the tips on what to look for. I drove a yellow mach that the synchro going into 3rd didnt like me and grinded a little. I'm used to bad synchro's, i used to have to force my chevy 1500 into 4th, luckily i wasnt going for speed so i skipped and went to 5th. I think they will...

    Ok.....crazy question about import muffler placement....

    from what ive heard from a buddy of mine that has a honda, is that the angle of it creates less of a bend or something in the exhaust to get it out faster..who knows but makes them look even worse imo

    What to look for

    Well, I'm going to look at an 04 mach 1 tomorrow. What should i look for as signs its been beat on? Most of the time i pay attention to what the motor sounds like, but i dont know for sure what to do. My only concern is that i dont want to buy another vehicle that has been raped in the past. Its...

    Ugh, somebody messed with my Mustang...

    It really sucks when people mess with nice cars. when i had my 02 gt i got egged 3 times in 1 week by the same kid. i figured he got enough payback from people messing up his rims, kicking out his billet grille, then stealing his subs and crap. now good ole mother nature decided to vandalize my...

    How hard is it to Straighten out the Front Frame Rail and/or Core Support?

    If you want your car fixed at cost, try a local autobody school. I go to school for auto and the only thing the customer pays for is supplies. Kinda sucks because we fix some nasty crap and have to pay to do it. If you were in southern illinois i'd have you bring it to our school, we've painted...

    I guess I won't be lurking around here anymore..

    I havent seen a black one, but the local dealer here just got a white one in last week. It looks pretty good but i wont go in the showroom to see what they want for it, since they want 16k for a 00 gt with 90k miles on it.

    What do you think of my custom grille? (pics)

    Looks very nice, gotta say it is better than stock. I actually kinda like the cobra emblem offset, its different and unique. good work

    Here's the link for it. Ive been harassed several times for selling my mustang to get this truck, but at the time i needed it for work and since ive moved its time to step up to another stang. I really guess gas mileage isnt to big of a factor, im buying a friends honda crx off of him for the...
