1998 mustang gt or 2000 mustang gt?

mexlatino · August 31st, 2007, 07:24 PM

I recently bought a 1998 mustang gt. I did research and i didnt know the 1999 and up mustangs carry more hp. I am looking at a 2000 mustang gt and possibly trading my mustang gt for the 2000 mustang gt. Would that be a wrong move or is it best just to stay with my car? my goal is to get my mustang at 300 hp. What would be the best car to do it in? I figure in the long run im gonna waste a lot of money putting in performance parts in my 98. Im guessing it will be cheaper fixing up the 2000 since it comes with 260 hp as oppose to the 225hp that i have now. Oh the cost for the 2000 mustang gt would be around 11000 with 69k. my mustang i bought for 9000 cash with 70k. help me out people

i think ur screwed...........

ur not gonna get 9 grand for that stock 98.........ur lucky if u get 7

just save up and go PI and full bolt ons from there.....

it'll cost u about 1500 bux to get ur 98 about as fast as the 00

the 00GT will cost about 4 grand more then u can get for ur car.

see my point?

HMUSN · August 31st, 2007, 07:39 PM

yea you got shafted.

mod the 98

jersey98gt · August 31st, 2007, 08:15 PM

9k for 7o,000 miles isnt bad if its a vert

96gtponyred · August 31st, 2007, 09:23 PM

no one will pay 9 for it though they will all try to bargin just mod it

G.T. Rags · August 31st, 2007, 11:08 PM

i have a 96 GT convertible.....

i bought it with 62k and only paid 6700 taxes and tags

i didn't know his car was a convertible......

if he resales it privately he might be able toget a little more then 7, but not much....

and it would still be more cost efficient to do the swap

yeah cause i payed 5000 for my 98 and it came with cobra r rims and flows

G.T. Rags · August 31st, 2007, 11:48 PM

If u got the money to burn then sell ur car in a quick minute.....

otherwise ur better off modding ur 98

should of just bought a 98 cobra... I bought my cobra with 72k on it for 10,000

mexlatino · September 1st, 2007, 06:59 PM

i needed a car, and that was the best car i could find at that time, school was coming up and i got desperate

mexlatino · September 1st, 2007, 07:00 PM

i looked at some cobras but they wanted 11k-15k which at the time i didnt have

ujslost · September 1st, 2007, 09:25 PM

I paid $9950 for my 97 vert with 74k miles on it. But its in damn good condition. Ive looked at a few 99-02 models and mine is in a shit load better shape than the ones I have seen lately.
I doubt you will get that for yours unless is pretty much mint, then it all depends on the buyers in your area. But the cost to mod yours and the cost of taking a loss on saleing and buying the 2000. I agree with Ragtop on this one. Mod yours. If your like me and alot of other ppl here, thats cheaper especially if you have any kind of mechanical abilities, and can do your own labor. If you cant do your own labor, then you gotta deceide what you really want to do as far as mods to either car that you keep.

+1 on the 99-04's being beaten to hell......my car was 1 owner and had a pretty up to date maintenance record.

u could also try finding a friend mechanically inclined.....thats what i did.....loaned him money knowing he was just gonna give me free labor instead. Plus I get to work with him and get more of a hand on experiance.

ujslost · September 2nd, 2007, 12:26 AM

Mine was a 1 owner also, and had chrome cobra r's

G.T. Rags · September 2nd, 2007, 12:30 AM

ujslost · September 2nd, 2007, 12:37 AM
