it looks pretty good but i think i would look for something with a little less mileage, just because it has some parts on it shouldnt be a huge game changer, the things done to the car are pretty simple things. as long as it was taken care of it should be fine

thanks!...yeah the mods arent a big deal for me because i can easily do that... i havent really found anything under these miles tho, mostly what i see on craigslist are like 100k+, but i also havent found an 03' other than this one, do you think the price is fair?

actually having mods would turn me away from it. more of a chance for it to be ragged out

The mods listed are pretty tame though. I wouldn't worry about it being any more "ragged out" than any other mild bolt-on GT.

It has exhaust and a shifter lol, good luck finding a used mustang without an exhaust.

I hope you don't like money....bc if you get into the Mustang game it is a nonstop obsession of what to do next and how to make yourself faster. I love my car like no other but sometimes I wish I kept my old Maxima that was bone stock with limo tint. Just my .02. Hold out and find the mustang that you want if you choose to get one.

goodluck!
