Default I just can't decide (another car buying thread)

Ok guys, right now I'm looking at yet another Mustang. This ones a 1990 notchback 5.0. Red with black interior. The guy says it runs and drives nice. It has 107,000 miles on it. He wants $3000 obo for it. The thing is, I've never been a huge fan of notchbacks until I came to these forums and now I'm starting to warm up to them. Would you guys go for it if you were me or just keep waiting for that hatchback to come around? Is it a good deal?
Also if I were to buy this, I'd definately want to put a spoiler on it, any recommendations?

If it's in good shape, buy it. Why the hell would you want to put a wing on a mustang? It's already got *****, it doesn't need a wing to help it fly

It was put there from the factory and I don't think that it is there for aerodynamics. I could take it off but it would look retarded, Notches with wings look gay.

$3k for a 5.0 notchback is a good deal.

I think some convertibles (basically like a coupe/notchback with the top up) had wings from the factory.

I can't remember if they did or not, if you like the wing then go ahead and throw it on I guess (if you do happen to buy a notch). But I'll garuntee you that you'll get death threats and hate mail from 97% of Mustang owners.

You think I'd be hated for a simple wing like this?

No, but I think those wheels and "Back to the Future" ground effects kit should earn a solid shot to the nuts.
