Default Question about a Mustang.

Looking to purchase another vehicle. Note I've never owned a Ford, so this is why I'm asking. One of the cars I'm looking at is a 1989 Ford Mustang LX 5.0.

That's the link to the Ad. Is it worth the price? I don't know what Mustangs go for. It's appears to be in good shape. I am going to look at it tomorrow after work.

If it's only 30,000 miles I would jump on that, but it's probably rolled over and 130,00 miles... I think the price is a little to high for that fox..

That's my concern with it being rolled over.

I think thats a little high for that vehicle. Look around and you can find one for cheaper in similar condition. Or try to talk him down

I'd probably pay $3500-4k for it, damn sure not $6k.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm not dumb about cars value at all, and I KBB the car before asking and everything, I just wanted to make sure. I didn't know if there is something that it hiking up the value of the car I don't know about since I've never hand a Stang.

Its not too bad. little high but not outragous.
I paid $5,500 for mine 10 years ago, with only 50,000 miles on it.

I think the days of picking them up in any kind of decent shape
for under $5k are long gone.
