Default Sketchy?

Ive been looking for mustangs non-stop lately trying to find good deals. I dont want to spend too much on one because im 16 so insurance wont be cheap, but ill drive it until i can afford to do it up right.

What do you guys think of this car. Its got a salvage title, which bothers me a little since i dont know much about them. Other than that it looks like a start.

heres the link http://shopping.rollanet.org/index/l...page362697.htm

Hope this is the right section

Crawl under the neath and check out the frame and floor pans, then under the hood look at the rad support. Ask the guy what salvaged it, sometimes(like the ad says) you can make it a repaired title(like if it was a theft). Its dirty as hell, Id show up with 2k cash

Dude...sketch...

he's selling it that cheap because its dirty as hell. That thing needs new paint like my car needs gas. The spark plug wires are all over the place...I'd do some serious checking out of that car befor buying it. The basic rust check, check the inside and all the wireing...that thing looks a mess. lol. But yeah, 2K and elbow grease and you got yourself a car.

It all depends how mechanically inclined you are. That mustang looks like it is in a little better shape than my stang was when I bought it. from the looks of it the body it is in decent shape, looks dirty but a little TLC and paint wouldn't hurt. The deciding factor should be how it runs.

Yea, I agree with all of the above, the deals a little sketchy. If you can, take someone with you who knows a little more about cars, if you can't i'd advise you to wait a little longer.

Dude look for an LX model, they are cheaper with insurance cause they are considered a "family sedan" and they dont hide all the rust where the gt's blastic is located.
I would definetly look for a better car
