Hate to bother again, but what do you think about this?

mineralgray2002 · Dec 17, 2006

Here we go again, As some as you know im on the search for another stang. I found this one in stl and if i do buy it im going to get the loan higher and do some mods to it as soon as i get it home. the rims wont stay and i want to get a mongoose kit for it. Is this price good?

sorry my bad

whats your price range?

mineralgray2002 · Dec 17, 2006

up to about 17-18k, not alot but it will have to do to get rid of the truck

I think it looks nice, but I would hate to have the looks of a Mach 1 without the performance to back it up...nevertheless, a mongoose kit will clear that up :tup:

But since someone modified it to look like a Mach 1, be weary that it may have been beaten on (although it's like that for any used car)..

I can run a carfax for you if you'd like.

mineralgray2002 · Dec 17, 2006

I ran a carfax on it and it says its clean. If i get it im going to paint the spoiler back to normal, put on fr500's, and paint the piece around the skaker. Pretty much make it look like a gt again just with a shaker hood.

Smeech · Dec 17, 2006

Yeah I saw it also...one owner, and it looks good...seeing how you can make some money on the wheels, etc. I think it's a good deal.

mineralgray2002 · Dec 17, 2006

yeah, since the price is low compared to most in my area, i plan on getting enough money for a mongoose kit, fr500s, tires, and h&r springs once i order it. It does help that i love mineral gray. Only problem is i dont know how much to ask for the loan and i dont know of any places in my general area that will install it and has a dyno and what not. I plan on going over to stl tomorrow and will probably go check it out and possibly go drive an 03 cobra that they want 25k for, high i think but o well. What mongoose kit do you guys recommend?

mineralgray2002 · Dec 18, 2006

any ideas anyone? i'm not do good with the whole supercharger stuff, i can go carb'd motors, race cars, and stuff like that but im not the greatest with forced induction. Anyone have any ideas which would be the best bet for a daily driver and minimal strip time.

thomas91169 · Dec 18, 2006

if the market is low youre not gonna get much of a loan. If the car books for 13k youre gonna get a loan for 13k. the bank is not going to add on top of the loan so you can do mods, because if you default theyre left with a 17k loan and a car worth 13k.

i bought my GT for 17k out the door, and through my bank i couldnt get a loan for more than 13k. btw you can get alot better than a wannabe Mach1 with 18k. prolly find a 99-01 cobra with less miles and better condition than the linked GT.

mineralgray2002 · Dec 18, 2006

There isnt a whole lot of mustangs around here for sale, it wouldnt be a wannabe mach 1 if i bought it, im going to paint the spoiler and put on fr500s to make it look like a gt again, i just like the look of the shakers.
I found an 01 mineral gray cobra for 16k but it has 63k miles on it so iono. it kinda sucks i owe money on my truck

I have to buy from a dealership, making it harder to find one in my area. If i was smart i wouldnt have gotten rid of my gt.i regret it more everyday

tjmaxx · Dec 18, 2006

Just so you know aronstang from the 5.0 forums is taking offers on his supercharged 5.0 coupe and lives just over the border into Wisconsin I dont know if your interested in a 5.0 but it is a sick coupe.

geoffsgt · Dec 18, 2006

Listed as stock, but clearly has a shaker hood scoop? Thats a pretty big mod. Does anyone actually do all that and leave the rest of the motor stock?

Seems to me like he's tryin to sucker someone who doesn't know much about mustangs into buying one that has clearly been modded and beaten on. If it doesn't have anything but the shaker on it, I'm sure it did at one point.

mineralgray2002 · Dec 18, 2006

there's alot of people around here that only do mods like that and leave hte motor completely stock. In my town there isnt one car that has mods done to the motor

the98stang · Dec 18, 2006

goto www.kbb.com to get some pricing.

Pay no more than private party, excellent condition.

I would buy a used car from a private party, not a dealer. If you buy from a dealer, the car better have a FATTY warrenty.

mineralgray2002 · Dec 18, 2006

i dont have much of a choice on this one, it has to be from a dealer unless i can sell my truck asap. Ive never had a problem with used cars from a dealer, my stang came from one and so did my truck. This time around ill get a warranty, last time icouldnt afford one

mineralgray2002 · Dec 18, 2006

Well i just got off the phone with the dealership that has that fake mach 1 and they refuse to even take a look at my truck. His exact words was its to customized for us and i cant trust the work done to it, so your out of luck. damn dealerships

Hate to bother again, but what do you think about this?
