I'd check the oil to make sure he keeps it full. The air filter is good to check too to see if he's been taking care of it. Make sure you test drive it for a while. At least until it warms all the way up. Check for grinding if it's a standard shift.

check for the normal mustang rot... even though SN's didnt have as many floor pan problems. (superior metals were used in our cars)

and check for oil leaks

Yes it is a 5-speed, he said the car is stock not even a cold air kit or flowasters. But he said it has an exhaust leak so now would be a good time to put headers on it and some new muflers. Anything else

Both me and my buddy agreed that it lookedlike it has been in a wreck before so i had to pass on it.

Just because it's been in a wreck before shouldn't drive you away from it. As long as it's been fixed right anyway.
