I hope you don't like money....bc if you get into the Mustang game it is a nonstop obsession of what to do next and how to make yourself faster. I love my car like no other but sometimes I wish I kept my old Maxima that was bone stock with limo tint. Just my .02. Hold out and find the mustang that you want if you choose to get one.
goodluck!
goodluck!
OP, that price for that many miles is a tad high IMO. See if he will come down a bit, if this is a car you truly want.

Welcome to the forum.
Like the other members said these cars can become a addiction.
I started out with a 99GT and modded that.
Just couldnt have enough of these cars and ended up buying a 97 Cobra in sig.
If you look around hard enough you may be able to find a 96-99 Cobra for the price of a modded GT.
Found Cobra in winter because I know the price would sky rocket once the nice weather came.
Just my 2
BTW.. This forum is awesome and so arent the people on it .
You came to the right place for advice
good luck on your hunts.

not to be a downer but also see if the owner has maint records. Being at 98k miles you definitely want to see about the brakes being done, radiator flush, water/fuel pumps being replaced, any belts being replaced. Although not that expensive maint wise, if anything shouldve been done that wasnt, can be very costly. Just another thing to think about....see if you can get it checked out by a mechanic ahead of time...
if a car has been maint'd well and taken care of...it can last for a very long time

Looks like a nice deal OP. Keep your options open though. I just bought a completely stock (no exhaust or intake mods or anything) 01 GT automatic with 61k for $8300. I love driving it, already put 1k miles on it in just over 4 weeks.
