Default Looking to buy an '02 GT, need advise

Drove this car yesterday. It's at a dealership. Price a little high but no doubt can talk them down. About the car, it's candy apple red with a very nice body kit and the car is super clean inside in out. I couldn't even find a door ding on it.

Only mods I can see are so really nice aftermaket chrome wheels, K/n cia, and dual Flowmasters. The rest looks stock. It has an automatic transmission. My concern is it has 138,000 miles on it. The oil and tranny fluids looked great but the coolant not so much but easy to change.

The car drives right and is tight. But without knowing the history should I buy with this many miles?

depends on the price, i probably wouldnt pay any more than 5 grand or so for it. The new edge cars are a dime a dozen and can be found for good deals with lower miles.... and..umm what kind of body kit lol

Here's the car. Like I said their price is too high even though it is clean I would offer a whole lot less.

Price is to high, "body kit" should be removed for the stock sideskirts & bumper, needs lowering springs to get rid of that Ford F150 type wheel gap and if I were you I'd move on to something else...my .02

The back bumper is okay. But the front & sides are awful.
My take: Overpriced

EWWW GROSS. I would fine one without a body kit and that has less miles on it.
