Default What up guys!

So im new to this and I have a question. Im lookin to get a mustang. Im currently lookin at an 05 gt with 81,000 miles on it for 13,000. Just wondering if that would be a good investment or not.

I was thinkin a Mach 1 cause they are dirt cheap right now. Which do YOU think I should go for?

I am partial to the newer body style. I would go with the 05... It is apples to oranges however as they are different cars. Just depends on your taste! Welcome from a fellow newbie...

A lot of us would love to have a 70 Mach 1. When it comes to the cars value it is up to how you feel about the car and price. Can you afford what you are paying. Will you enjoy the car or always be wishing thatyou had another body style. Welcome to the forums.

Well guys I went and checked it out tonight and WOW BEAUTIFUL CAR!! In very very very good shape. Not a single scratch or dent on the body!! The last guy that owned it was some type of construction worker and its alllllllll highway miles. The car is in very good shape and was garage kept and maintained very well. Ford inspected it and put on a new intake mani because of an idling problem and wow that thing sounds amazing compared to my last car.

Ill probably be picking it up tomorrow after the banks open to see where im at interest wise from the dealer.

So first off..WHAT MOD FIRST?!

I was listening to exhaust set-ups on youtube and well..sound quality on that site sucks first off so some videos do no justice. I was really enjoying the deepness of the magnaflow magnapacks with an xpipe a lot. But i rather you guys with the experience lemme know whats up in that section.

Thanks for the warm welcome also..hope to get to know this site a little bit better
