Default This sound like a good deal to you??? (5.0 LX content)

So I found a 1990 LX 5.0 Hatchback 5-speed for $4000 Canadian (around $3400 US).
Its mostly stock, stored in the winter and the owner claims it runs really good. I've only seen pics so far, the car looks pretty clean but the owner admits that there are some minimal rust areas.

It only has 96,000 miles

Is this a good price for a car thats almost 20 years old???

I was thinking about holding out for a 99-04 GT but this really caught my eye...plus I've always had a soft spot for the Fox bodies.

As of now thats my main concern - the rust
If it turns out the car needs a lot of body work then I can certainly see why the price is lower than usual on a Foxbody with such low mileage. I'm waiting on the owner to respond.

But damn, the car is practically 20 years old...I've never owned a car thats older than 5 years. So you can imagine this is a tough pill to swallow. I know the mileage is low, but the last thing I would want would be for this car to turn into a money pit.
