Hi guys i'm new here and i was needing some advice, i'm looking at a 2000 mustang gt with 37000 original miles and two owners, it has a manual tranny, but one owner was a race car driver (actual mustang not used) and the second is a 22 year old college student who has had it for about a year but wanted a cobra and found this car but found a cobra about 8 months later and needs to sell this one, he is wanting $8000 for it, is that too much? i was wondering if these cars can take abuse and not break, they have all of the maintence records and it looks like it has been taken very well care of, i took it for a test drive and it ran beautifully, it is completely stock except for flowmasters and eiback springs, and a random question...did the 2000 mustangs come in a color called performance red which looks orange? thanks for enduring this long thread.

oh and one more thing the KBB on the car in my area is $6500 in good shape and $7000 excellent shape, but thats private party, retail is $8900, he is a private seller. thanks guys.

I say 6 Grand tops.

As for the color, my wife's brother has a 2001 GT that is the color that you are talking about. It's really nice.

When you say abuse, well no car can take too much abuse. It's a good sign that they have all the maintenance records.

Good luck on the purchase.

Well, if hes askign 8, chances are he will acdept less than that......try to talk him down a little..........see if he will take 7.......then go from there

8 is a bit much for a stocker. Try to talk your way into the 6850-7200 range. It's very rare to find someone that has all the records like in this case. Sounds like a great find.

I would say try to get him down to 7

funny thing is that he started out at $10300 then $9500 the he dropped to $8000 so yeah he's pretty proud of it, hey is it abnormal for the top back of the passenger window be out of track by about a half a inch? i pulled the carfax and it's clean, just asking thank ya guys.
