this 1998 mustang gt a good idea?

thomasdale2144 · June 12th, 2011, 12:55 PM

so i have been looking to sell my v6 auto in favor of a v8 manual, and i happened appon this beauty, 1998 MUSTANG GT- 4.6 5 SPEED-80K-FL CAR! but i have no idea if that is a good deal or what to look for if i go check it out

does it look like a good car to you guys? what would you recomend me to look out for if i go to see it?

thats a lot of money. but if its mint like it seems to be - it might be worth it to you.

sj408 · June 12th, 2011, 04:10 PM

It looks to be in very good condition, but IMO that doesnt warrant a 6k asking price. maybe like 4-5k. dont be fooled by the adult owned comment. you should see how all the adults in my family drive LOL.

if your in the 6k price range i would search a little longer. hell

thomasdale2144 · June 12th, 2011, 04:48 PM

ok thanks guys, i don't really know much about gts so its hard to know prices

PsnSnake_19 · June 12th, 2011, 04:52 PM

yea its a little over priced the most i would pay for that car is 5k, and if he does $5300 i would do it but def. not $5900

But it def. is very clean

also if your hellbent on a gt make sure your willing to do a PI swap or just get a 99+ trust me your in for a rude awakening if your buying a 96-98 for performance.

thomasdale2144 · June 12th, 2011, 05:30 PM

lol k damn that makes it way harder to find a good gt in my price range

Wich88 · June 12th, 2011, 06:07 PM

I picked up my 97 Cobra for $5500. It's in mint condition with 85k

i hate you lol, also would this one be any better 2000 mustang GT

OptionalStang · June 13th, 2011, 08:41 AM

6k is alot,lol you could have my car for 3k with the pi heads,if it were still for sale..wow 6k...it better be a gold plated 4.6

OptionalStang · June 13th, 2011, 08:43 AM

honestly, i would hesitate to spend anything over 3500 on anything non PI, due to the year and the power, unless it has like 75,000 actual miles...those prices are steep for those cars..or you can wait untill colder weather hits and the price of these cars drops with the temps..

thomasdale2144 · June 13th, 2011, 09:51 AM

damn i wanted it for the summer lol

97S281 · June 13th, 2011, 04:32 PM

It's a nice car but not that nice. Even with the custom wheels, new tires CAI, new clutch and gears I still wouldn't go over $4500 for it.

Seems kinda high, I bought my 97 cobra for 6g's with 47000 miles.
