ya i know its high mileage, but i want a v8, and the insurance isnt too bad on it. the car payment would be alot cheaper. im gonna go check it out tomorow, and wanted your opinions first.

personally if its a firebird I would go for a ws6, and if it's a camaro I would go for a z28 or ss.

coreysr5 · May 8th, 2007, 12:21 AM

is it a pretty quick car? could it beat a GT of the same year? by the way, its a 97.

Cricket · May 8th, 2007, 12:23 AM

well a z28 or ss of the same year def could, but just the v8 they put in em...i think so because the gt motors in 97 weren't that great.

the lt1's still run good against a 4.6 PI mustang. not sure about the s197's. the formula is basically pontiacs rendition of the mustang gts. its not a bad car but its a sports car and more than likely been ragged out. for a few thousand more you could get an ls1 with less miles.

My concern might be the previous owner and his driving habits.

We all know how much fun it is to get into our cars' horse power and just from looking at it, you can't tell if it's been beat or babied.

Personally, I'm a bit skeptical buying a hotrod from a dealer. If you know the true history of the car, that's one thing but if not, you never know what you might be buying. It could be an oil burner in 30 days.

It's not a mustang.....I don't know anything about nonmustangs.

I wouldnt touch a opti spark car to save my life, shits expensive to fix and a bitch to get and keep working right.

232stang · May 8th, 2007, 08:05 PM

its only a few hundred for new cap and rotor for the optispark. but ive never installed nor taken one out so it might be a bitch and your probably including the price of install, if i had problems with it id change it myself. not that big of a deal. just put a new one in.

coreysr5 · May 8th, 2007, 08:23 PM

so i went and looked at it today. its just not the car for me. i think its the mileage that gets me. i dont want a car with over 100,000.

2000Si · May 8th, 2007, 08:48 PM

Speaking of new cars, why are 99 V6s with more mileage more expensive than 01+ V6s? I was wandering around Autotrader last night. They had a 99 V6 with 115k miles on it for 9,890 and an 01 V6 with 40k for 8700.

Dealers gettin greedy or what?

232stang · May 8th, 2007, 09:54 PM

99 has the hood scoop and some other shit. looks nicer. but 04 is the best of all the new edge v6's. larger better looking wheels and reverse hood. with a 3.9L engine.

coreysr5 · May 8th, 2007, 10:17 PM

i think the 99 is worth more because its the 35th aniversary edition.

232stang · May 8th, 2007, 10:23 PM

^^ yep

MustangMatt96GT · May 8th, 2007, 10:46 PM

did they really a 3.9 in the 04s? I have never even heard of a 3.9!

ujslost · May 8th, 2007, 11:41 PM

i think this is on the wrong fourm?????????
dunno

232stang · May 9th, 2007, 01:54 AM

with the 04's they put a different crankshaft that raised it 3.9L and gave it an additional 3hp!!! lol

nah this is the clubhouse anything goes. cept porn

BoostedMKIV · May 9th, 2007, 05:53 AM

Mileage is way to high.
Good call not to buy that one....look around some more.
