I'm always on the hunt for a stang [8D] I see them here and there and if I am not in too big of a hurry, I'll stop for a few moments to look at it have seen a few nice deals, but by the time I see the car again, it has been sold or moved...

yup, I'll have essentially the entire summer to look fora new whip. I'm going to be working my tail offlike there is no tomorrow[8D] Got until mid August to hook myself up with a new horse. Gotta get out of my beater Buick... I keep dumping $$ into it, but not in the good way funny thing is it only has just under 50 thousand miles on it... when I bought it 2 years ago it had 29 K... think I got a lemon[:@] plus, 4 doors with manual locks, and crank windows (cant roll the rear ones down because they fall off the tracks) is getting annoying... now she has a knock every once and a while when I start it, then once it warms up it goes away... dont know what the deal is, I doubt it is a rod, it happens at random times... and only at start up...

but that is aside from the point...

A mustang is a mustang... V8, V6, 4 banger, GT, LX, SVO automatic, Manual, 4speed[8D]etc, and I cannot wait to get a new one,

thanks man. how much would a 99-04 go for these days? I have seen a bunch in my area, but they all want over 12 K or more... and they all had at least 60-100 Thousand on the Odometer... I have seen a few on ebay go for anywhere from 3-6 K...
mine is for sale already with dual exhaust and such for 10,500 and2 years left on an extended warrenty, maintained by a certified detailer.... and im close, im in MD
