Default 2003 Mach 1

This is probably a broad question, but i'm in a position to get a 2003 Mach 1 for $9,800. It needs a new rear clip and door, but besides that its mint. Do you think its worth it, and about how much do you think it is to repair it?

Thank You

Can't tell without pictures and even with pictures we can't see all the damage.

$9,800 seems like a good price. I see used Mach 1's with 10-20,000 miles selling for $18-21k.

if you plan on fixing it for you then go for it.......we can't see the damage so no way for us to advise.


if you plan on fixing it and eventually sell it don't bother you'll never get half of what you put into it back out.

Well I talked to the guy selling it, and the way he described it is that it needs a whole new back half cause it was hit in the rear, whatever that means. A body shop quoted him $5,000-5,500. I have an uncle that will do the work at his shop for far less. I'm going to go take a look at it, but it does sound like a good deal I think?

Good deal as long as you plan on owning the car and not selling it and hoping to break even.

Sounds like a good deal to me espically if your uncle will do the work for less that the $5-5500 that he said. Then you can take the extra money that you saved on buying and fixing it and get some mod's on it.

if it needs a whole new back end......that to me includes subframe work.......then he's lying about the 5 grand.
