Default Is this a good deal?

I saw this on craigslist: http://etcautos.info/vehicle_invento...dmore&id=24504

I am wondering if I should take a look at it? I called and they said it was owned by a mechanic and in great condition and it is all stock. What cheap/easy things could I do to give it some more power? I'd like to see it at least be able to smoke my 91 GT. How far do you think price is off if it really is in great running condition? Just wondering what I need to talk it down to.

Thanks

Of course, but I mean assuming it's clean. What's a fair price for a clean v6?

That's very clean, looks on the high end but not unreasonable, gears tune intake and exhaust should make a pretty fun car, but carfax for sure if no warranty, and test drive, clean cars usually have something to hide. Especially no warranty clean cars.

This is kind of odd. On each tab listing features in the add this diclaimer is at the bottom.

"The list of standard equipment and accessories contained on this document reflect equipment which was standard at the time vehicle was manufactured. This vehicle may or may not contain some or most of the equipment and accessories listed as a result of the vehicle identification number equipment compilation provided by a third party source. This VIN equipment compilation is provided as a service by the dealer and a third party source and is in no way intended to serve as a warranty or list of actual equipment contained on the vehicle."

Nice, so the stereo might be missing, ac broke, power steering spraying fluid, cruise control removed........... Is that even legal to do? Couldn't that be seen as false advertising?

That is strange, and of course I would test drive first. One thing about them is I went through some of their other listings and didn't see a warranty listed on anything even their 07 mustangs. I may straight up ask them about their "and is in no way intended to serve as a warranty or list of actual equipment contained on the vehicle." Obviously i'd rather have a V8 as 190hp just isn't much but hey we'll see, maybe with it being 10 years younger it's actually getting the same hp to the wheels as my 91.

It's an 01 with 120k. Seems a bit high on price for a v6 coupe IMO

Well yeah but the interior and exterior look to be in excellent condition. Plus you never pay asking, he's gotta come down some.
