Looking at a 2000 gt with about 88k on it for really cheap. They have a set of lifters and say they need to be changed? and that's the only thing wrong with it, but its so cheap it makes me wonder. He says its a clean title with 88k. White car with a grey hood, manual.
Curious if there's anything special i should be looking/listening for? I've owned 3-4 SN stangs, so i know the basics and i'm sure i could do the lifters myself. I just don't want a turd! Any input is appreciated!
