If you are serious, and this isn't a prank, here is serious advice:
M-E-C-H-A-N-I-C. Spend the $$$ so you don't get hurt. It could be the best money you ever spent. No one here will be able to help you with a vague description like that and no info about the car. Be careful and be smart!

Well it might be a v6 (that would explain the slowness) the guy was probably confused when he bought and thought he was getting a real mustang. Make sure it's got a GT, Mach1, or Cobra symbol on it somewhere
Best of luck

LOL. Are you sure it's even a Mustang? How does someone sell a slow Mustang?

The trans is slipping. But there are inexpensive to fix. Talk him down on the price a few bucks and get that car?

have a mechanic you trust look the caqr over good, then based on what they say talk the person down (figureing in repairs here) and see if you can work out a deal of sorts, if ou feel uncertain about the car in ANY aspect WALK AWAY and keep looking, if it truly is a V6 (mine is) it may not be as fast as a GT, Mach1, or any of those but even the V6 will hold its own, and tuned a bit will give it a bit more potential, I even had a friend comment on mine about having a bit more punch then a "normal" V6 Mustang....
