Default 160k miles on an SN95

so my gf is coming home for college and im trying to find her a car...i found an SN95 GT from 94 with 160,000 miles on it pretty cheap
is the engine likley to be any good, and what automatic did these come with is it the c4? are there any problems differnt from my 89 5.0 that i should be aware of, thanks for any and all help. the price is 700 dollars by the way, automatic, cloth seats, black with a small dent in the door, havent seen pics or it in person yet, just wondering if its worth the hall to get there.

id say good deal, no in 94 ford built a better auto tranny (aode). as long as the engine has been taken care of properly they will go well into the 200k's

its actually alot easier than most people make it out to be.

you basically remove the upper intake, all the EFI stuff, then drain the coolant, remove the lower intake, remove the valve cover, remove the rockers, unbolt the exhaust, and unbolt the head

If it hasn't been dogged/neglected all its life, the motor should be good to go for a long time. $700 sounds awful cheap for a 94, any reason in particular for the price?
