yeah i must agree, you can find cheaper than that. take your time when looking for a car and dont let your desires make you rush into it.

go with the GT, its stock, and usually if its still stock it hasnt been flogged to hard you know what i mean. whites a little better color in my opinion and just like the gt body better.

I would go with the white GT model with the stock set-up and the lower mileage. You can always try to negotiate a lower price from the seller and if they really want to move the car, they will deal with you somewhat.

I would say the gt also. Besides stock, not as many people have beat on it. Those prices do seem rather high though.

prices seem about right for a starting point, take the car that you can get for 3500.

i would get the lx. it already has a good amount of mods to it. dont get me wrong, i LOVE the GTs, but i like the lx deal better. if you are anywhere near Rochester, NY i know a guy who is sellin his '87 GT with full exhaust, intake stuff, and 3.55s for $3k. only prob is that it has a little rust, but only on doors and hatch
