mach 1 for $15k? not in perfect condition. i suggest a 99-04 mustang gt with low miles and showroom condition. should be very doable. i bought mine about a year ago for $11,400 for an 02 gt vert with only 35k and mint. im sure you can find one like that probably for same price and have some money to work with! good luck finding one!!!

SVT cobra if you can find one. or the mach 1 suggestion. and since your that lucky, take good care of it and if your going to perform any "exhibition of speeds" go to an air port or something with no cops or people. Have fun and good luck.

I agree with purp, a Mach 1 is right about in your price range so I would look for one of those. But you could get a GT for under 10k so the choice is up to you, but a Mach 1 is better out of the box and has more potential

Welcome buddy. For that amount of money you can sure get a nice mach. But if you want a gt bad enough you can find one really easy. Make sure you find a nice well taken care of one.

That's great advise. I was 17 when I got a 67 Camaro, all drum brakes, get where this is
going? Yep, I jumped a ditch and blew up a wooden mailbox! Did three doughnut's in the
large an long front yard! Told my Dad, a truck with boards on it lost it's load on my car at the railroad tracks. Learn a stock car first! Check the brake's! Candy Apple Red too!

Mach 1 under 15k thats MINT is like trying to find puss in a ***** house...aint hard. I had a black 03 Mach 1 57k miles, bought it for 12k.

i say buy a 8-9k GT then once you learn the car, start modding.
