Would you guys say this is a good price?
Well, I'm looking at getting an 03 mach 1, it's got about 60K miles on it, it's black with a 5-speed manual. They were asking 14,900, now it's down to 13,900 and I offered them 12,900 but they e-mailed me back and said 13,900 was a fair enough price. what do you guys think, is it worth it? I'm going to look at her this saturday and take it for a drive. Anything i should look for. I already did a carfax on it and no insurance claims so.....let me know whatcha think!

seems liek a fair price, listen for head tick, and anything that sound out of the ordinary, take pics for us and that'll help us some more.

Oh yeah, it's a florida car too. It's got some rear bumper damage, looks like they backed into someone, but since it's black i figure it can be replaced/repainted easily, or am i wrong on that?

Yes, that seems like a very reasonable price if it is oinly the bumper that is damaged. I had mine replaced for $500 including paint and labour a couple of years ago.
Other things to check for are the color and smell of the oil/coolant - will give you an idea of if the car was taken care of.
Check for even tire wear (tires were rotated - another sign of takeing care of it)
Make a fuss about the service records as well.
Should be possible to get them down another small bit - try aim for 13,500 - that would e a god deal for ye.

Sounds fair. Just be sure to check all the things mentioned above. You may also want to run your hand along the inside of the rear fender to check for track rubber.
