Well my search is over. I'd like to thank everyone in this forum for giving their advice and sharing their experiences.

In case you didn't know I graduated from college a few months ago, and wanted to reward myself with a used Stang. I looked at all different kinds of foxes, 94-95s, 96-98s, and 99-02s. Each had their advantages and disadvantages. For what I was looking for I had narrowed my choices to the 94-95s and 99-00s.

I had actually found this Mustang by a mistake. I was looking through the classifieds at a site called "Lone Star Stangs". Later I fell upon a topic mentioning that a website called "Austin Area Stangs" was boycotting a business for some reason. I decided to check out the "Austin Area Stangs" site, and saw the classified and BOOM I knew that was the Mustang I wanted.

It was priced around KBB value, plus a upgraded stereo, SCT tune, exhaust, and lowered. It was a private seller who was the original owner. He's in the military so the car wasn't being used that much. My friend who was a car dealer for 20 years gave me the . So I made a pitch, and it was done!

My First: American, V8, Ford, Red, 5 speed(I own a 6 speed), Mustang, GT car. Killed a lot of birds with that stone.

Now to avoid a:



Here she is(I'll post more later....gotta go show her off to some people):

 

Hope you enjoy your new car.I know I would.

 

nice find!

how many miles?

 

i recently bought a 2000 gt coupe, but with an auto, yours looks great lowered, i have been thinking about doing that to mine. but anyway nice car man

 

Sweet car, would be gorgeous with some black deep dish bullits

 

He had some small Superman stickers under the GT logos.......those were a pain to remove.

Like I said, he had it listed below KBB value(clear title...no wrecks/accidents). Since there was tree sap all over the right headlight, he knocked some more off the price. So now I'm looking at a new set of GT headlights. Not sure if I want GT, clear, or smoked headlights.



Here are some more pics:

 

Thanks, and your 'old school' Cobra's pretty sweet too.

81K....apparently he only put 2K within the last year. Most were highway from Austin TX to Yuma AZ...between military locations. His wife had a car, and the military gave him a rental car......so the Stang just sat there. That's why he needed to sell.

2 more pics!

 

congrats man, looks awesome. i believe thats the same color as my gt, performance red. great color imo...but im a little biased

 

nice car , You know i didnt really like the 04 mustang I have when I first saw it , then the more I looked at it the more I fell in love with it , even if it is my wifes car , there is something absolutly female dogin about the mustang and american muscle

 

wow 81K its only an 00....

oh well, glad you're happy with it


and thanks for the nice words about my baby

i'd love to own a latemodel to go with it though..... who am i kidding, i'd love to own one from every model year lol

 

Congrats on the new car!

 

Nice, have fun with it.

 

man that thing is low to the ground...looks good nonetheless...enjoy!

 

Yea I'm wondering if I should raise it just a little as I have plans for an X-pipe. I'm considering the Ford Racing Springs......the "C"s or something like that. Along with putting on some 18's. We'll see!

 

you should go with the smoked 01-04 GT headlights

 

I'd go with the smoked headlights myself. Always makes me a little sad when I see a Stang's headlights like that.

 

Man that cars ugly. Thats the ugliest car ever. Why did you buy such an ugly car.

I got tired of seeing everything the same

 

Really....uglier than this?

Oh by the way..........it's a Firebird.

 

I was actually considering some chrome FR500 replicas. Either 17's or 18's...both are deep dish.

I'm shocked :shock: you didn't suggest the Cobra rims.

 

She's a Beauty!
Congrats Matt
Now to Mod her up
