Default Good deal?

http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/car/236547291.html

Found this and it seems like a really good deal. The guy wants to get rid of the car so he brought the price down almost 2k since he fuirst posted it 3 weeks ago. I could prob get him down to $4500 or so. It has flowmaster 40's, BBK cold air intake, motorcraft wires, new intake, and an aftermarket shifter. Considering the blue book is like over 7K, i thought it was a pretty good deal. What do you guys think?

Just make sure the engine is in good shape and the suspsension/tranny is solid. If everything's in good shape, it's a good deal if that's the car you want.

Personally, I'd wait for a 99+ to get the better engine, though.

You can buy a 99 or above for that price

That color is really bad a$$. I don't remember seeing that color on those years. Despite what everyone is saying about the high mileage and the non pi, I'd consider only if the price was closer to $4,500. The mod list isn't impressive so you shouldn't pay more than that. If you're ready to do work to it, I'd say go for it.
