looking at buying a mustang. car is in overall great shape, but i've never bought a car that anybody has already modded. always bone stock and did the work myself. this is the ad. tell me what you think i should look for/ ask this guy before i buy?




2006 Mustang GT. Flawless with 19k miles. Perfect paint and interior. Best parts money can buy with over 30 grand in mods. Very reliable for eveyday driving and a track terror on the weekends. Everything works factory fresh, cold AC and all power options. In dash Kenwood Navigation CD head unit. Custom dash gauges boost, oil, temp. Cervini ram Air Hood, Roush style wing. Billet Specialties SLC62 20inch wheels. 614rwhp on pump gas and 676rwhp and race gas tune. A true supercar. Never beat on at the track but a conservative estimate on quarter mile time would be low 10 second range. 24,500 call 606-688-4391

There are a lot of things changed on that car, including a heavily modified engine. Something interesting- 19k miles and a custom built engine. Seems like the car could have been beaten on repeatedly (before and after the build). Unless you're comfortable working on this car frequently- I'd pass.

Never by damaged goods unless you plan on spending time repairing them. My $0.02.

I'd jump in it. Even if you have to replace things on it, its a great platform to start from. A car is gonna need parts replaced eventually either way you buy it.
