Default Please look - want to buy this 5.0 - YES or NO?

Okay I have found this 5.0 on autotrader and want to know if I should buy it! It supposedly has 95k miles I believe according to the owner but he cannot guarantee that is the mileage.

the vin is 1FACP41E9LF210159can anyone do a carfax history report please!

I can get it for $1800 shipped is this look like a good deal? Here is some pictures I will attach.

Is there a good chance I will get screwed on this deal being that i'm not in the same state as the seller and cannot look at the car? It runs and shifts good according to the buyer and he's sending me closer pictures tomorrow.

$1800 for that thing, there must be some kind of catch.

what year and what other stuff do you know about it. i got my car from Arkansas and im in Conn off ebay from a really nice and honest guy. he even offered to drive it half way to me so i then knew that he was a good clean guy that wouldn't screw me over. also it seems a bit cheap, i payed $5300 for mine 1994 with 92k miles on it.

most expensive part on her was the chromed cobra R's


EDIT: there will always be another car too so dont feel pressured. i waited and looked for a long time

is that a 1990ford mustang lx with a v8 engine? prrrrrr.... i just bought one from my bf's friend for 1500. what a steal. i dunno how good its running on your part but mine is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! see if it can be inspected first. thats your best bet. and also, it would be better if possible to get a look at any paper work of anything done to the car. im fortunate enough to have every single paperwork ever for my car, even when it was purchased. but if the car is in pretty good condition then i would totally get it then!!!!! or even if it needs some work done, thats a steal! i'd get it but best to check out how its running and if it needs anything done to it first, just so you know what your working with. good luck!

given the current price raises of these cars, $1800 for a mint body shell is a fair price.

$1800 for a running 5.0 is a STEAL. if you dont take this, you will regret it for the rest of your mustang life, and i'll guarantee that.

It still has the ash tray door...That's almost a 100% indicator that the car is in good shape, lol. I'd still be wary though...but go for it.

thats a very good point. these cars are notorious for the ash tray lid breaking. just the fact that it's still intact shows that this car was cared for and driven by good minded people.
