Test drive it. Thoroughly.. A grand for a clean 100k car.. and a mustang gt? Sounds like a good deal in my book.

pics would be a plus.

I would jump on it. The 2v 4.6 96-98 are not what you would call fast but they def are a nice car and can be modded. I've owned 2 Sn95s 98/95 fun cars.

I don't have enough information to go by to give you my opinion. For all I know that thing was hit by a train.

Pictures, including information like wear & tear would go a long way.

There was a fellow a few weeks ago who posted a similar situation like yours. After he ;posted pictures it was pretty obvious the car was destined to be a parts car. It was literally wrecked.

+1 with Shampue.

Not enough information to make any recommendations.

It sounds like a steal, but that could change when we see pics & specs.
