Default Bought new car!

ok so here it is, I just bought a 2000 V6 Mustang Convertible from my girlfriends uncle for $5,500

it has 74,000 Miles on it...lets see what everyone thinks ...did I get a good deal?

Engine is beautiful tires are new, top is brand new, leather is in GREAT condition

The only thing I find wrong with it, (he did point this out), is that the windows on the driver side don't line up perfectly, and the window will catch the top if you don't close door right (you have to put pressure at the top of the window or else it will just catch the top)...there is a small gap between the lining on the rubber of the back window and the driver side window...I'm a little concerned rain might get into it...not sure, I'll need to get those aligned I guess...especially since I don't wanna wear out at the top

Also I bought the car in Florida and drove it home to Connecticut..

North Carolina is NEVER ENDING lol

Very nice car. Not a bad deal at all. I like the headlights.

I have planned to do the usual for now...a new stereo system and tints...and some after-market fogs maybe...

I just don't know where to put the damn fog switch...I need to find a mustang with the fog switch so I know where it goes lol

oh and another question...do I have to buy a whole new bumper to add fogs....or can I just cut out the plastic lines going across in where the fog lights should be?

Just take off the little plastic parts. If you get under the car and look behind the bumper the plastic parts are held on by a little bolt. I don't remember what the size is, something like 8 or 10.

what color is that? navy or black? i cant tell, my eyes arent what they used to be, lol. if its black, black it out, dark wheels, smoked tails...i love the darth vader look. if its navy, chrome saleens would set it off.

either way, id shave the decal off the side. but congrats on a nice clean car for a good price! thats about what i paid for my 98 with 100k on it.
