Going to go look at it next Sunday, it's got bbk shorty headers, high flow catted h pipe, and pypes violators. Other than that its stock. He wanted 4500, said he would take 3800. I'm going to offer him 3200 and go from there.
Boring auto...my mustang is an auto but my dd tiburon is a 6 speed..although less power and fwd it's fun to smash the pedal and rip through gears..not to bad of a price though
I've drove stick once in my life and never really got the hang of it. I will own one day and learn, but now I'm just lookin for good deals that I can afford.

I drove stick one time before I bought my tiburon..taught myself. Right on man it sounds like a good deal if it runs good and all is in tact jump on it if you really want it. But if I were you I'd wait until winter is over and maybe get newer with less miles..but if you need it, I think it'll be worth it.
that's not necessarily a bad thing man... txt him back and say since theres issues with the car that you will give him 2800 cash incase you need to do any major work to it... once he agrees go buy a 60 dollar scanner from napa or walmart or something.. go look at the car, scan the code and if its nothing major buy it for cheap... if its not back out of the deal
just like you I had a sixxer and decided I wanted a gt I went from this clean looking black mustang to this blue mustang that needs some love... even if your new gt needs work... putting the money into the gt will get you further then you ever could with your v6
Check engine light is probably something simple and many little things set them off in these cars. Mine is on due to cats being gone, will shut off for a while with my tuner but comes back on until I run it again. Could get mil eliminators but it has never really bothered me. Many mustangs from 96 up have the abs light thing, mine went on for a couple months with after I had some work done to it, now it's off. It's a sensor that can get a little loose or dirty and come on and off at times. My brakes always worked fine while the light was on. Had it all checked out by the shop that did the work, (very reputable shop I know the owners personally) they couldnt find any issues with the abs System in my case anyway. Now it's off and hasn't come back on. Like suggested earlier I would buy a cheap scanner or borrow one and plug it in yourself when you look at it. Or drive it to the nearest pep boys or oreillys and have them check it for free. Most important thing if it starts, drives, and stops. Sounds like a good deal at 3500-3800 max, otherwise hold out and save up and buy something with less mileage.
I hope I am he keeps txting me to give him an offer. The more he txts the more desperate he sounds. I'm going to offer him 2800 like you guys told me to Friday.
do it, use the check engine light to your advantage... just say listen I like the car but the check engine light is on and im really taking a gamble.. ill give your 2800 cash incase I need to do any major work I wont have screwed myself... he will take it. he might hit u back with 3k and in that case say okay 3k but im guna go get a scanner and figure out whats wrong with the car before I buy it... then hit walmart or ask your dad or someone to use a scanner. there simple to use

when I bought my car the coolant light was on ( looks like coolant with a fan in front of it s0 I checked the coolant and saw it just just below the sensor... the girl said she thinks its the fan that doesn't work ... haha electric fan... I told her ok I will give you 4k so I have money left to fix the car... went home added coolant and never saw the light again

For the price it's not bad at all. That driver side seat tho. Damn. Upholstery took a beating. I don't know how seats get torn up that badly. I drove my 99 daily and it over the 6 years I had , not including the years it belonged to the original owner, i never ruined the seats like that. The vinyl in those cars ages nicely and without much attention either! Good luck and hopefully you can get some new wheels!

Another option, albeit slightly more expensive, would be to shop for a cobra interior. Any year will do, but the 03/04 are particularly nice. 30 minute swap job and you'll be happy for years. They are gorgeous seats!
I would love to do that or possibly find some mach 1 interior. But that's awhile for me cause my money would be spent on basic mods like Mach 1 chin and lip, new wheels, lowering, cai etc

for the price you cant go wrong, like I said even if it needs work here and there if its starts drives and stops and the bodys decent buy it.. for a mint one you will be lookin at another 4k so use that money your saving and build the car to your own standards
ugggh altho I think I over payed the money is already spent. I own the car. I don't have any car payments to make so not worth loosing sleep over... main thing is to get the car then go from there...
