Well danny, i just spent the last month trying to find a car that fit me. Most cars i was looking at where 2000-2004 GT with 80k-100k miles. lowest i saw with good condition was around $6000.

Good luck

3 grand should put you at the 94-96 GT price range. GL!

Depending where you are, and what the market is like for the car you are looking for, you could find a GT in that price range. I would just cross off any 99 - 04, as I had to look high and low for any that were decent and the lowest I could find was $5200, and it had $7200 in stuff I had to repair/fix.

Just keep looking and don't settle, trust me, as soon as I bought mine, 3 or 4 GT's came on the market that were somthing I would have rather had.

Depending on where you are... $3000 isn't going to get you a very solid car. I'd save up a little, spend some time on the forums reading and asking questions, then go shopping.

Just take your time and don't rush into anything.

For only 3 grand you will get somthing in the 95-98 range with at least 130000+ miles on it. Save up some money. Where I live 5k will get you either 95-99 range with 80,000- 100,000 miles on it, or 00-02 range with 110,000-130,000 miles
