Default 2003 mach 1- 9500?

I am looking at buying a mach one from a local dealer and was wondering what u guys think. Its got 100k miles. A few cosmetic issues, nothing major though. I took it for a test drive and the suspension was making some noises from the front. They said the brake caliper was loose. I had an 04 gt for years but now I want something a little stronger. Thanks

if you do get it id have them deduct the cost to fix the problems from the price but 100k isn't a lot of miles for new cars there meant to be driven

it's a fair price and 100k is nothing for a taken care of mach engine. It shouldn't be making noises, period. They say it's a simple caliper being loose issue but it could easily be more serious. They could be honest folks but you never know. Just take it to a 3rd party that would be able to tell you things like if it's been seriously been knocked out of whack before or if some parts show overly excessive wear. Good luck.

4Vs are pretty stout.. doubt it's anything serious.. Maybe just needs a nice tuneup.. Are there any mods done to it? That you can tell that is..
