so first of all i know that this part is a good deal. there is a dealer by me that has a 03 mach 1 in the blue color with 11085 on it for 19k. the things i was wondering about is what is the plus of getting a mach 1 vs a gt? the second thing is is there anything i should be looking for in terms of problems on these cars?

First of all, I think that is actually kinda of high priced. Prob. could get him down to 16.5-17k. I just picked up my 03 with 17k miles for $16k. The mach's has a 4v vs. gt's 2v. They respond to mods a lot better then a gt. IMO the looks of the Mach are incredible, especially with the shaker hood. Take it to a reputable mechanic to look things over. Get a carfax. Make sure the tranny shifts smoothly because these trannies have been notorious for syncro issues.

the car is at a carmax dealer by me. i will see if i can get them to give me the carfax reprot on it. i wasnt sure on the price for the car

+1 on stang 1101's comments. the mach just is a nicer car i think then a gt. i havent had many problems with my car. I have the famous ticking sound and i think im burning some oil. if u search this or mach1registry u can find the details on those issues. but all in all i love my car and would recommend it to a friend.

Carmax usually doesn't work with you on a lower price, just to let you know. I'd check its value on kelly blue book. I bought mine for $19k after TTL and 29.5K miles. That price seems a little high but location also plays a factor in that too...If you get it, you'll probably never even think about owning a 2v motor again...

that price vs miles is about right.

mach is 4v get is 2v
mach has 3.55's
responds 10x's better to mods
a lot more potential
only ~12k were ever made
those numbers are dropping daily

yeah so just got back from test driving it and wow the car was great.

now time to become one of the few, if it doesnt hurt you financially

jon_0_3

well if i take a 5 year loan on it i will pay less then i do now on my cobalt with a 3 year loan. i just need to pull the trigger

what does the shaker hood do exactly? and i saw and intake for these cars but insted of the plasic peace that runs from the font of the shaker to the filter was gone. does that do anything?
