I got mine for 4k, but its having some minor problems[:@]

Other than that... its gonna take time and patience, atleast around here... i see new edge mustangs everywhere... and ive mabey 3 different foxbodies in the past 5 months. Just to give you an idea on how hard it might be to find one locally

I also love my fox. and hopefully won't have to sell it

I once saw one on ebay with a 347 Stroker and a 4" cowl hood, 5 Speed. Looked real clean in the pics and the Idiot put it as a "Buy it Now" with $3000 as the price. Needless to say it was gone very fast.

You can find deals out there. Have to be patient. The foxbody has become very sought after in the last couple years so the cleaner ones are bringing premium prices in certain parts of the country.

Got mine for 3,500 with 60k on it, but prices for fox mustangs are gradually climbing.

You should be able to find a real clean one for 5K. I have seen 5.0's rust free and nice interior go for 1,500
Was it mine Deals are out there, just wait for it to come along and ****** it up. I looked at so many $3-6K ones in worse condition than the $1500 deal I ended up getting. One of the cars was $3k and the door fell off when the owner was showing me the interior I've noticed that fox's are cheaper down south than they are up north. At the time I was shopping, a $6K FL car would run 9-10K in the NY market, generally speaking.

Just because someone is asking a certain price doesnt mean they wont take less. If you show up with cash most people will let the car go for less than they have it listed at

Exactly. A couple of years ago someone had a red 91 with sunroof and black int, 5 spd. A couple of simple mods. He had $3300 on the car, i showed up with $1900 and my checkbook. I told him all i could spend was $1900 and he took it.

Im currently trying to buya fox body mustang since i sold my 01 GT last summer. But the problem is I cant touch a clean Fox for less than 6k! I have tried ebay and the mustang forums but they are out of my price(3k). Why are they so expensive especially when these carswere mass produced? If any one is selling a 90-93 5.0 please pm me........thanks.
JunKjards everywhere are filled with 5.0's, cause people don't know how to drive and totalem. Plus the brakes are terrible. I was just thinkinthe other day what I would sell mine for.You guys would probally tell me it work 3-4K, which it is. I would list mine for 6K(yea too much) b/c there are usually 15 5.0's on Auto Trader. 3K and under they look like ****. The good ones go for 7K plus, are modded with **** I don't want and alot of these are beat to hell.
