Default good buy or not?

i found a cobra mustang and i just wanted to know if it is worth the money or not. its a 1997 cobra w/ 99,000 miles, full power, leather int., hurst, steeda springs, mach 460, new clutch, new plate disc, new starter, and its black for $7,000. Just wanted to know if it is a good buy or if it has too many miles and i might need a lot of work done to the engine soon. thanks for your help.

DEPENDS ON WHAT YOUR BUDGET IS. iF IT'S 7,000 I WOULD SAY HIRE A MECHANIC TO DO A FULL CHECK-UP ON THE CAR, USUALLY COSTS AROUND $100. aCTUALLY YOU SHOULD DO THAT ON WHATEVER CAR YOU BUY. IF THE CAR CHECKS OUT OKAY THEN IT'S NOT A BAD DEAL, I'D OFFER 6500.

Depends on how well it was maintained or how bad it was abused.

I would compare it to GT in your area, same type condition,, then see what the difference in price is....................a used car is worth what you pay for it unless its a lemon
