This is a 2001 5 speed mustang im thinkin about buying an i loveee the color of it but it dosent look factory. An i looked up 2001 colors an the only 2 they had red that year is performance red an laser tint red. Ive looked at both colors an it dosent seem to match! soooo if anyone knows what color this car is would you please let me know! I need to know if its been repainted or not an obviously if its not factory then of course its been repainted.

I don't know many people that would go out of their way to change the color of a sixer. Especially if they did the door jambs, engine bay, etc.

yea, well i just wasnt sure. i mean if it was repainted they did an amazinggggg job. but the only reason i thought it might have been is bc...the 2 colors from 2001 (laser tint red, performance red) didnt have an orange tint like this one does.

Just kep going to them and looking at it and build a good relationship with the dealership. You can normally tell if the people are sketch but then again they are used car salesmen haha
