Default Should I pull the trigger

Hey mustang family, am not very familiar with the S197s, but I am looking to buying one I have found one for a decent price ( on my budget ). But I am kind of hesitant on it because of the car faxs. I need your guys opinions on it. If I should go for it or back away from it. I looked at the car in person once, but didn't have much time cause it was rainy it looked like the stain was gone and the front part of the interior was real clean. Here is the the link for the Carfaxs

Here is the actual website for the car http://www.globalautomotiveonline.co...9/Details.aspx

Links aren't working for me either. Don't know what year you are looking at.

However, I would not buy a used 05 or 06 mustang. Too many issues and TSB's for them. Unlike a recall where there mfg. is responsible to fix the vehicle no matter how old it is when the recall gets taken care of, TSB are out of your pocket once the warranty expires.

I'm not getting the warm and fuzzies from it. Can't speak about the price since I'm not from your area although 'tis the season to buy a RWD car

5 owners in almost as many years. Ew.

Well I think the last two owners were dealers which I wouldn't think would much of a problem would it?

Well I wouldn't be able to do it off craigslist, because were trading another vehicle in on it. I haven't had any luck with finding anything else I've been thinking about looking at other kind of cars which really saddens me, but I decided give it a few more weeks

I going to the place sometime this week with a friend to take another look at it before I make a decision, but the only problem I saw with the car was their was a little bit of rust on the exhaust tips which I wouldn't think would be a problem since all cars have some rust eventually
