Hi everybody,
I am new to this community. Reason why I signed up is cause I am about to buy a used Mustang 1991 GT 5.0 Convertible 2D, fair condition, 98000 miles. This car has leather seats, power stearing, and power windows. Thats about it. The paint job is in a nice condition, but there are a few things broken on this baby, so I am battling right now with the desicion, if I should buy this car or not. Maybe you guys can help me.
1) The most important issue is that the windows don't line up with the roof top which causes a small gap where water can run into.
2) One metal beam of the back window is bend to the inside, so the rear window won't go all the way up. Again water can run into the car.
3) Parts of the electric interior are broken, like the electronic mirrors, the radio and the car won't show me the correct speed I am goin at. I think some spring is broken cause it bounces around.
4) The glass of the headlights are realy bad and water is running into it, plus the fog lights are broken and are about to fall out of the body.
5) Well and the roof is realy not in a good condition. Parts are hanging off and fly around. But it seems like the roof is water proof so far.
The car runs fine, the power steering is causing weird sounds, but other then that this car is pretty much fun to drive around.
Now to my actual problem: The owner wants to sell it for 6500, but since I know this guy he wants to sell it for 5500, maybe 5000 dollars. I looked it up in the the bluebook and it shows half of the price he wants, which is 2500. He tells me that this car is very rare and that makes the price go up. Since I posted the situation of the car, what price is fair and right?
Next question: I am concerned about the water leaking issue on this car. How much would it cost to fix the problems by a ford dealer or shop and how much would it be if I order the parts and repair it myself?
Buttom line: What do you guys think? Is this a deal? Should I buy the car? I need this car on daily bases, so it has to be relyable!
Thank you so much for your help. I am a huge Mustang fan and I would love to get this car, if it is worth it!
Thx,
Marc
