I'm going to check this convertible out today. From the pics, it looks like a pretty good deal. What do you guys think?

I'd ask lots of questions about the auto tranny. After 17 years it's either on its way out or the owner has got a rebuilt in it. If it had a 5 speed that's not a bad deal at all. Remember the automatics aren't cheap to replace but the 5-speeds are affordable. You can blow $2200-$3000 on an auto tranny. You could always swap it to a 5-speed car if the auto does go out. Looks clean but get a carfax.

Thanks for the tip on the tranny. So if it's had a rebuild, then it would be ok but if it's original, then be wary?

$3,900,00 - seems kinda high................. looks like a $3k - $2,900 type of car to me - ask and make sure it's a true AZ car - w/103,000.00 miles on it - it seems high priced ( I know if u divide the years it's like only 6k a yr) - I know cars with 'low' mileage are hard to find out here in AZ - it's an automatic though - and that light grey interior is goofy to me - but it looks like a clean car - run a carfax on it (like Vibrant red said) - look at the factory welds - seams in the trunk -underneath - run it and let it idle while you look and then after it warms up - look underneath for leaks - look for 'dry-rot' on rubber hoses in engine bay / by gas tank - make sure it passed emmisions here in AZ or your troubles may start that quick - even w/plates-

Thanks chgovfk. I saw the tags on his plates and it said Jun 12 so if those are the real plates, then emmissions are up and he hasn't gotten his new tags. Will definitely ask why he hasn't gotten them renewed by now.

Ah such a nice virgin car. It would be so fun to tear into that thing and start modding!

Well, that yellow 95 GT vert didn't seem like a serious seller. Never returned my calls or emails.

So instead, I'm now a proud owner of a 2001 GT (just got it home about 30 minutes ago). Only pic I have right now is from the ad but I'll take my own pics in the next few weeks.

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.
