definitely look around. high miles. you could get something with half the miles for like $1-2k more.

thats a 5k difference........ thats a new motor with 0 miles on it

GT Panda

Well if I do decide to get it I will be taking it to a dealer to have a mechanic look at it first.

Mass Driver

i always wondered how you do that. Do you approach the buyer and say "hey im taking your car for the day to get it checked out". Seems like it would be difficult to do. Any tips for when i go to check out some of my cars (soryy for the hijacked thread)

GT Panda

well it cost about $70 to have them look at the car but its better thanbuying the car and then have to pay $1000 to fix some stupid problem

If your a youngin like myself i always bring my dad with me... After we seem to be interested we just tell the salesman that we are going to take it home for the night and just have a longer test drive and bring it back the next afternoon... They have never said no yet.

Having it sit in your driveway and driving it to the store and stuff before you buy it will make it much easier to catch anything thats wrong with it.

Adam did you ever fix your car or find out if your job was going to cover it? Just wondering.. that made me so mad when you posted that lol

GT Panda

well im only 17 but i know i want aV8 5 speed mustang for my next car and theirs also a 97' mustang cobra with 70,000 miles for 9K

Adam03GT

I would look into that!

Benk.. they said they are going to see what they can do. I have to pay it out of my pocket for now but im sure that they will give me something... at least half maybe.

if your only 17, don't get a Mustang, especially not a GT or a Cobra. the insurance will kill you if the car won't
