I live in Rio Rancho, NM (near Albuquerque) and am preparing to buy my first 'Stang. I found one that I am in love with in Phoenix. It is a 2000 Silver GT Coupe with all black leather interior. Mods are : Full Kenny Brown suspension, full Bassani exhaust, 3.73's, Pro 5.0 Shifter, cool air intake, and a TB. The car is going for 12,900. Does this sound to good to be true. Should I be weary about buying a car i have never seen in person?

Depending on miles it doesnt sound too bad. New GT's are going for around 20 with rebates and low prices. Talk them down a bit if you can and have fun.

same here i bought my 2000 with around 16000 miles and paid 15,000. i would also make sure if you do plan on purchasing it check to make sure the mods that are done to it arent half assed done or anything like that because you'll always take a risk with buying cars that already have mods done to them. but that sounds like a real good price.

I'd definately go see it in person and I'd even take a mechanic with you or take it some where and have it looked over 1st before you lay your hard earned $ down.

My wife's 01 had, among other things, aftermarket control arms (gone now), off road H, flows into dumps (also gone now) and apparently had been a wreck of some sort - new tire purchase and alignment alerted us to this(CarFax, by the way, is useless). The front bumper had been replaced with a Cobra model, but once wrecked, cars are usually never the same...hers is a good example of a modded car that seemed to be a great buy until little by little its flaws began to surface. We've spent a lot of money just getting back to the state it is in now, but it will never be perfect. My 02 was a virgin and it behaves exactly as I expect. Between the two we have a good comparision.
My 2 cents? Buy a virgin.
