I paid 14k for my 03gt with 28k on the clock with the mach 1000 and fully loaded. Drive that price down man, dealers will drop the price if you really try.

I think there are other deals to be had. That doesn't sound like a deal at all

make sure the tranny is silent when your foot is on and off the clutch, and it shifts smooth. trannies absolutly suck in these cars.

not a deal at all. as for problems, the tremec 3650 transmission in that car is not meant to be beat on. ripping through gears and power shifting will ruin synchros faster than you can whip out your checkbook to pay for the rebuild. It is a tsb so if it is under warranty, the dealer will do the upgrade of the synchros at no charge. But for the price, I would not pay anymore than 14k maybe 14.5 if it was exactly what I was looking for.
good luck
