Im about to buy a 1 owner LX 5.0L 5 speed and was wondering if this price is inline... The car is in great shape and has 125k on it and he wants 2700 for it. Its all stock with no mods even down to the exhaust.. What do ya think guys?

dr.gonzo! · May 9th, 2007, 02:58 PM

thats a pretty good price. could even talk him down to $2500 what year is it?

orangeRcode · May 9th, 2007, 03:02 PM

If it is in good shape, that is a good price. The Foxes have started to come up in value.

Rutcutter · May 9th, 2007, 03:03 PM

Its a 89 model,the interior is in GREAT shape.. It does however need a shift fork put in as it has alot of slop in the shifter.

dr.gonzo! · May 9th, 2007, 03:17 PM

that has maf...a good base for mods down the road. Is it a convertable?

Rutcutter · May 9th, 2007, 03:27 PM

No its a hatchback,yes it does have the MAF,is that a good thing?

Rutcutter · May 9th, 2007, 03:34 PM

Is there someone that could run the VIN # for me?

dr.gonzo! · May 9th, 2007, 03:36 PM

Yes. Out of the factory the speed density cars are a little faster but the maf makes it easier to do a larger cam change without all the vacume problems, as well as other big mods like heads intake. I bought a performance mustang book from amazon that is very detailed and will help you if you plan on modding your car....or just keep reading all the post in this fourm.

carfax.com but you have to pay for it.

If your talking about thru CarFax, I don't think anyone can do that for free. If you are worried about the car, I would have someone look at it that knows what he's looking for. Lets say a guy, hypothetically, gets drunk at the bar, on the way home hits another car or a telephone pole, I can't remember which one it was. Anyways, he's drunk, so he gets scared and hurries home and sticks his car in the garage. Next day he takes out a screwdriver and a pair of channel locks and fixes all the dents. Frame is damaged but you can't tell because he does an outstanding job with the screwdriver. That crap will never show on CarFax. Title transfers and anything that happened to get reported will, though. Spend that few dollars for the carfax and get someone to look at it.

Rutcutter · May 11th, 2007, 10:06 PM
