I have a 92 lx notch 5.0 with 5speed stock exept 3:73's and has 200,000kms on it. There's a guy that wants to trade me for a 99 GT. Has 144,000kms. automatic trans, cobra front bumper, has cold air intake and a sub in the trunk. I'll be using it as a daily driver/weekend toy.What would you guys do? should I or shouldent I?

If it wasn't an auto I'd say give it a hard look, but I don't know. Depends, do you really want a new edge GT? 5 speed notches are pretty hot.

If you drive alot and you really use it as a daily driver, the 99 is probably the better car.
Not as much fun, but more comfortable for sure.

Well I normally take the bus to school as its free so I only use the car on the weekends in the summer. So not alot of driving. Just that my 5.0 is worth around $5000-$6000 and the 99 is worth about $9000-$10,000. My 92 have never been winter driven but the 99 has been winter driven since new. I'm not really a fan of the automatic either... Just the price diffrence is tempting me! But anothing thing is, in my town there isnt a single fox for miles, but there is 3 Gt's of the same body style and about 3 more v6 stangs of that stlye. So the fox definatly stands out a little from the crowd.

which town? near WPG?

Trust me that 99 will soon be a rust bucket, manitoba salt is gonna eat that baby up..........and even though they are asking 9-10000 around here they aren't worth it especially with that many kms

it wouldn't happen to be white would it?

Good choice. I'd never swap a nice fox for a winter driven Mustang.

Click to expand...

I think the price gap might be closer than that.

I've frequently seen 99 GT's selling for $4000-5000 or so. A cleaner example might go for 6000-7000.

Hell, i only got $9500 for my 2003 GT. Price is falling on the 99-04's so quick that in a year or so, i bet you can pick one up for $3000.

Potent little car though. I had an 03 GT and loved it. Ran a 14.1 with it bone stock, and it was confortable as hell to drive an handled much better....granted...i did buy it with 5 miles on the clock.

it's where he's located. I'm in the same province and people ask WAY too much for every mustang including crappy v6's. There is got to be a reason the car is for trade (advertised as such) because he know's he won't get what he's asking

Thanks for all the feed back! Like Cobra 912 said the prices around here are crazy! I'd like it if they where only 4-5 thousand here!
