My mom, the one saying she'd give me that loan, decided she'd rather have me save up the rest of that money, which is gonna take me the rest of the summer...

Being the way my mom is, she now decided that I can get the car so long as I bring my dad to look at it with me. So what exactly should I look for this time??

you better run a carfax and make sure that is true mileage

that is only 4600 miles a year

my car reads around 60k right now but it is really 160k and it could fool someone with an untrained eye..

if its true mileage then check the car out for rust. look at where the rear control arms meet the frame and see if the connections (torque boxes) look torn up. people who do alot of burnouts or drag race alot break the torque boxes even with stock horsepower.

Obviously its been put through some abuse if its got a new clutch and rear tires but what 5.0 hasn't been abused.
+1
I would try to get the price down to 2,000

Yeah, and how can you tell it's beautiful from that little picture? Anyway, don't worry about getting that car. I shopped for 2 months and found four decent 5.0's and i live in Iowa *looks outside to see blizzard*. The car market is changing all the time, and it's interesting how some things work out. I looked at two '88s, an '89, and finally found my '85 which was in better shape than the three newer cars.
