I came accross a 95 GT, 5-speed, white w/ tan cloth. Here's the story. I was actually looking for a 93, for under 4k, and this car came up in my price range. It has 121,000 miles on it, and he's asking $3,000 because it has a rebuilt title. The guy that has it is the actual salvage dealer that got the car straight from the insurance company. I haven't looked at it yet, but the story I was told from him was that it had a front passenger side collision, which has been repaired. New front clip, new fender, new side skirt, new hood, new "bumper bar", new headlights on both sides (so they match), ect. The guy said that he has a lift, and will put the car on it, so I can inspect it for myself from every direction. He also said that all of his cars have the same story. He has been in the business of repairing and selling "rebuilt" cars for 10 years. Mostly Mustangs, and Eclipses. I figure I can get the car for between $2,500-2,800. If it had a straight title the retail is around $5,800 on KBB. What do you guys think? I'm going to look at it tonight. Anything special I should be looking for aside from signs of damage? I'm not concerned with the difficulty in trying to sale a car with a rebuilt title. I'm sure I would be the cars last owner if I get it. Let me know what you think.

Oh, the guy has a 98 GT, that is also white, w/ an auto, and 89k on the clock for $3,900(rebuilt title). It's the one I called about, but when I told him I wasn't interested in an auto, he told me about the 95. I'll look the 98 over, and let you guys know what it looks like if anyones interested.

If you are not worried about resale, it's a great deal for 2000-3000. Make sure you get a carfax done on the vehicle, cause you never know what could have happened to it before the last accident. Give the car a spin, feel out the T-5 and the engine. If it drives solid, u got a good deal. The 98GT sounds decent but that auto will bother you. Good Luck!

No, I'm in Oklahoma. I was going to go look the car over Friday night, and it was sold Friday morning. After being pretty upset about that for a few minutes, I found what I ended up buying...

95 GT, 5-speed(very tight), 127k, 18" chrome Cobra R's, barely used tires, B&M Ripper, custom clutch from local race shop, MSD ignition, X-pipe->2.5"->40 series Flowmasters->dumped just behind the doors, Eibach lowering springs, runs great, clean interior.
This one had a rebuilt title from 98, and was inspected back then, and all that good stuff. 3 weeks ago the guy rearended someone on the drivers side, popped the bags, banged up the fender, and cracked and pushed in the radiator support on the lower driver corner just below the bumper bar. It's a pretty easy fix. I've got everything off the front, and everything measures square, and the frame is straight.
Here's the good part, I got it for $2,000. I'm pretty happy about it. I have a couple questions, but I'll put them on seperate posts. Thanks for the opinions guys.

not sure if you said that the parts were replaced on this car, but if they weren't don't just buy stock replacement... make the decision now what you want on there- fender and hood wise. good deal!

Yeah, I ordered the fiberglass Z3 fenders, and I'm liking the Spider kit hoods that are on Ebay. Anybody have that combo?
