CuddaWuddaShuda said:Depends on your perspective. Personally, I would be embarassed if I had put those miles on. If you really need to put 25,000 miles per year on a car, get an old Caprice or something. Don't drive a 2001 Mustang GT into the ground like that.
On the other hand, I think that the 4.6L motor will typically be OK at 70,000 miles. Obviously you will need to pay close attention to the maintenance records, get the car checked out, etc., but it would not surprise me if you were able to get another 50,000 miles out of the car before it really needed an engine overhaul.
Personally, when I look at a car, the things that turn me off are the little things that seem insignificant, but will probably never get fixed. For example, cracked dashboards, expensive accessories that don't work, dingy upholstery, otherwise decent original paint with door dings or scratches, etc.
If the car is all original, and everything works, my advice is thus to use the 70,000 miles as a bargaining point, but within your own head to pay little attention to it.
first off if you traded a 00 GToogtdude said:if it was perfect there wouldnt be 70k on it...i just traded my 00gt that had 29k miles on most wanted to give me 9k ..i made this mistake in the past by rushing and getting somewhat higher mileage cars..and those where the worst i have had
I totally agreeDaNd4Speed said:My 2000 GT has over 76k miles on it. I bought it 2 years ago with 44k miles and since have drove it less and less due to the increased mileage. The only thing that has gone wrong with the car is a faulty driver side window regulator. Other than that, the car runs like a champ! I take EXCELLENT care of it, and still looks like it came off the showroom. Kinda sucks that resale of the car is really bad, most people are too quick to judge a car on mileage alone, and dont look at the whole picture.

Xanax said:first off if you traded a 00 GT
in great condition for 9K you are a fool because you could have got 12K+
for it selling it private owner.I would never make the mistake trading or selling
a stang to any dealership.Most dealerships' are there to rip you off for your
stang and then selling it for alot more after you sell it to them
SVT STANG 03 the 2001 Mustang GT you are looking at is not worth 9,540Edmund and kbb don't reflect the true value of any stang.11,500
would be a great price to pay for a 01 GT because it's worth more than that
with 70K miles.Plus if you drive 25K miles a year get a old caprice or some
beater.Why drive a 2001 Mustang GT into the dirt like that?SVT STANG 03
if you are don't like 00 Toyota Tacoma sell it for a F150The 01 GT
sounds like it's been we'll maintaned and tooken care of for 70K miles as you
say.Even if the rear end whines you can always rebuild it with the 4.10's you have and just get a master bearing and shim kit. Good Luck! I hope everything
go's we'll.
I'm sorry to hear the dealer's are cheap in your area.12.485 soundsoogtdude said:i said most..i got 12.485 ..everyother dealer "like 4-5" offered 9-9.5 i took that as an insult ...i tried selling it for dealer trade in and nobody wanted it..they where cheaper around here
Xanax said:I'm sorry to hear the dealer's are cheap in your area.12.485 sounds
like a good deal in your case.I would sell private owner only because
some dealerships' like to take advantage of sometimes.
Best of luck to you 00gtdude
the modular is good for 250.000 miles with no trouble. I have 100.000 on my car and I svo heads and Shm Cam. Pro-Charger is on the way if i blow the motor I will do a rebuiled. But I think it should be ok I drive easy on my car and shift at 2.500rpms. Any way check the car out from top to bottom you should be ok. But I would try to find one with less miles on it.
