That's a hard call on all of this, I know how hard it is to find a Mustang in Europe. It's not a dime a dozen car like it is over here in the states. So the price difference is huge even on the older models.
Have you considered looking over in Germany? You tend to find a bit more Mustangs over there.
But as for the car in question something about that deal does seem odd to me. Keep in mind that is the first generation of the S197 body style. They were prone to water leaks around the door seals. If it's rained recently check the passenger and drive side floor pans and see if the carpet feels damp.
Stripes can be removed quite easy if they are vinyl, shame you wife does not like them. Mustangs like their stripes.

He should be paying you money. Even though yours is a v6, you have fewer miles and it is newer.
You say that mustangs are not too common over there, and that is why the price is high. Well that also means that your mustang is worth more over there than here in the states. After seening how clean your car is, I would not pay him a dime, equal trade or he pays you. IMHO

Maybe you could put your wheels from your V6 on the GT. Switch them out!
Check all of the gauges on the cluster and make sure they work properly. My RPM gauge is off by 150-250 RPM. My thermostat gauge only works when it is 60 degrees or warmer. The gas gauge sticks and is off sometimes by a 1/4 tank. The stepper motors are getting ready to go out, which is very common with the 05 model.
Check the e-brake and make sure it holds. Mine is not working well due to being stuck frozen during a bad ice storm a few years back.
Check and make sure there is no dampness or musty smell on the passenger side floor board. This would indicate that the car had the dreaded water leak, which can cause electrical issues.
