I guess fast really is all relative. Mind if I ask what you're paying for it?

So funny that you think that. I have been shopping around for 2 years. I know the market well. All stock, numbers matching, 5 speed, convertible, triple black, 20,000 miles. 4-5K? LOL! Your head is way up your ****. You cant find any like this to begin with. But if you did? 4-5K? Are you completely uninformed? or just ignorant?

I know what I am doing. Please, someone show me another one for sale for under $10,000 that is all original and under 25,000 miles. Also, make sure it is all red or all black and a 5 speed.

Honestly bro i can respect your enthusiasm for finding a clean low mileage car but it's nothing special, there were so many of those cars made that it will never be "collector car" worthy with the miles it already has, and if you're buying the car as in investment then you're making a huge mistake.

For 15g you can find yourself a hell of a nice Cobra, and that will hold it's value a hell of a lot better than a normal fox body. I'd say the car is worth more than 4 or 5g but I would suggest not paying more than 8 or 9 for it tops.

Like i said before the whole numbers matching thing and being all stock means nothing on that car, it's not going to make it worth more money in the long run and all you're going to do is end up over paying for a car that you're not going to enjoy as much as you should because you're worried about keeping it nice for no reason.

Onyx, Either way, I'm going to enjoy the hell out of it. If I could have found one for less I would have bought it. 2 years was enough waiting. I was on ebay, cars.com, autotrader, craigslist, mustang web sites, etc.....They just arent out there with under 25,000 miles in this shape.
