Purple?

[tjmaxx]

I am looking at a 95 gt that has 78k on it 5spd. cloth interior. they want $6500 for it and it is a dealer. the car is located in chicago which is about an hour from where I live. The only down side to the car is it is purple and I am unsure if I want a car in that color. I like the color but dont know if it fits me I dont know is it kind of girly? This seems like a good price to me as long as there is nothing wrong with it and it is still for sale, what do you guys think? Also what are the chances they would take $5500 for it? I would probably get it then. How are these cars in the winter because I dont know much about the 94-95 mustangs.

if it is a 95 and its purple get it. I've got a 95 sapphire blue which is what your talkin about kinda blue purple. They only made 2600 of them in 95 and that color was only on GT and GTS's. 95 was the only year that paint is on the mustang. I bought mine in 04 with 36,000 on it and kinda didnt like the color but it was 9 years old and a lot faster than my old ranger. Look it up on www.yellowmustangregistry.com and you can see the numbers. If its in good shape it will turn heads my friend.

i like the color. one of my favorite blues.


btw, stangs suck in the snow--all of them.

thanks for the reply's. Yeah I was thinking it was a pretty rare color. I thought it might look nice with Cobra R's. What kind of times do these mustangs run in the 1/4 mile and what speed do they trap? with a decent driver? I emailed them and plan on calling in the morning. Can someone run a carfax please.

fwiw i live in the chicago area and i have seen that car on autotrader for a long time. i would say that it has been for sale for a couple of months. it might not mean anything but i would be a little skeptical of something that has been forsale for that long.

Thats a great color blue they look really good when cleaned up. It reminds me of Stangfreak's car

 

[tjmaxx]

That looks so nice I am thinking since they have been sitting on it for a while that they might let it go for $5k. That would be nice. I need to get a stang so I can make it a GTO killer lol hey I can dream lol.

 

[94gts]

definately get on that

I too like saphire blue. In certain light it does look a little "girlie" but for the most part it just looks mean.

As for 1/4 times, a stock 94-95 coupe with a good driver is capable of 14.7-14.8 at ~93mph, though most drivers run 15.0-14.9 in them.

Hey thats my stang in there !
I personally like the color. And most people do. And yes, since its a pretty rare color, when the car is nice and clean, it gets a LOT of attention on the streets. First I thought it was only because of the rims and bodykit, but to my surprise, after Iremoved everything and I looked totally stock, I still got complimented at a red light by people all the time.

Kelly Blue Book is only a couple hundred dollars cheaper than the asking price, so go for it. Try to knock off a few hundred, cause they'll probably do it. As long as the car test drives ok and doesn't have any obvious major problems, you're probably alright.

Absulutely beautiful color! StangFreak95's pics are unreal.

I think I gave 8,000 for mine 2 years ago with 36,000 on it. 75,000 miles isnt not bad at all if you look around most stangs have had the **** run out of them and 120,000. Great starter (rare color, only 2 years of the big body style with the 5.0). Go test drive that thing. I love my sapphire blue!!!

 

[tjmaxx]

Well I called them and they said nothing is wrong with it. They said I could test drive it and come down and check for myself. They said something about how they take all there cars over to a mechanic which I doubt, but I will have to find a day off of work so I can go check it out.

 

[tjmaxx]

If I do get this car what are some good basic upgrades to get for it? I like the Mustang Gt decals for the rear bumper and maybe pullies or something since I wont have a ton of cash after I get a stang.

 

[fgtmustang95]

A 95 with 78K is pretty good I think. I bought mine two years ago with 77k. I say if everything checks out then go for it. I've read this posted on a thread here somewhere and I agree, the the best thing you can start off with is a real good tune up. Oil change, plugs, etc. Get the car running great before you start modding. You might even find a thing or two that needs replacing. And dont worry too much about the color, even if you think its a girlie color, that means a lot more girlies will be looking your way

I like that colour and no they are no good in the winter not even with good snow tires.

 

[tjmaxx]

Is there anyone who can do a carfax for me? I was just wondering because of how long it has been for sale.
