Default Got my 88 5.0 for FREE!

Wanted to share with ya'll how I got my Fox. I got a 9400 dollar loan and got a 2001 GT 80Kfully loaded w/ Bullit wheels for 9400 on March 06...One owner, a girl married to some nerdy engineer. Then in Oct of 06 I let a friend drive it and he ended up losing control and t-boned a curb and we rolled the car leveling the roof down...shattered windshield and back glass. So car was a total loss and the insurance agent valued the car at $14,600!!! Loan got payed off and I was cut a check for $4400. I thought I was gonna be upside down in the loan. I got my 88 GT for $3800 w/ 90K...near perfect int. body in good shape just has cheap paint job that is peeling slightly on roof. I was paying a $200 dollar monthly payment and $200 dollar insurance on the 2001 GT. Now I have what I originally wanted and pay $70 dollars a month for insurance. If I could snap my fingers and getthe 2001 GT back I wouldn't...no way. I didn't feel right in the 2001GT, felt like some rich college kid or something.The foxbody fits me good. Pics next week!

wow i wish i could do that.
i bought my f150 for 2800 and the kbb value is like 6200 or something like that.
so i always "wish" that someone would steal my car or something so i can get all that money and put the extra into my mustang
