to buy or not to buy..05 roush

blueAsmurf · November 9th, 2010, 07:51 PM

Well guys, I got the opportunity to pick up a redfire 2005 stage 1 roush. It was stolen but recovered, still has a clean and clear title. Only has 24k miles. I'm going to need to put 4 new wheels on it, a new drivers side airbag, a radio, and a front bumper. The guy wants $8,900 for it as it sits, and i figure ill have to put around $3,000 back into it to get it to how i want it. What do you guys think? I'd like it to look something like this when im done. Should i pull the trigger on it and get rid of sonic?

holy shit 8900? buy it

solodude23 · November 9th, 2010, 10:01 PM

$8900??!! If that's not a type-o, buy it before someone else does.

blueAsmurf · November 9th, 2010, 10:06 PM

haha yupp, $8,900, no typo..I called the guy today and talked to him a little about it, i figured it wouldnt have a clear title but it does. I'm driving out to go look at it tomorrow if i get a chance, if not then thursday for sure!

Danggg dude i wish there was one of those for sale around here! i would have got that over my 2009 v6 in a heartbeat! i love the Roush mustangs, they are my favorites.

Dcourt · November 10th, 2010, 01:34 AM

I think you'd be crazy not to buy it!!!!

RZNCAIN · November 10th, 2010, 01:42 AM

blueAsmurf · November 10th, 2010, 01:53 AM

a few pics, like i said, it was a theft recovery..needs a little work, just a new front facia and rims for the outside really..

Dcourt · November 10th, 2010, 01:55 AM

A little fine tuning and it looks like it'll be a beast.

NO4NTOY · November 10th, 2010, 08:28 AM

Well worth $8900 + the $3000 you will have to put in it! GO FOR IT. Be a BAMF in it!

RZNCAIN · November 12th, 2010, 05:41 PM

update?

BREDMAN · November 17th, 2010, 05:51 PM

did u pick up the roush

blueAsmurf · November 17th, 2010, 06:10 PM

sorry it took me so long to get back to this..but, i passed on it. It was a sport, not a stage 1 like he said. I found that out when i ran the vin check through the roush web site. He also said he told me everything that was wrong with the car, so i drove an hour to check it out, and he left more then a few things out.

06Black5spdGT · November 25th, 2010, 11:02 PM

What all else did he leave out about the being messed up?

blueAsmurf · November 27th, 2010, 12:35 AM

the interior was pretty trashed, and missing a lot of odds and ends. The outside was missing a side skirt and the radiator was gone. The car was just missing a lot of odds and ends, and would have needed some work on the inside as well to make it look nice. Good deal for someone looking to fix it up. I just dont have the time or the money at the moment

You have to look into it some more. My saying is this "If something is too good to be true its usually isn't".

blueAsmurf · November 29th, 2010, 09:31 PM

what do you mean i have to look into it more? I already went and checked i out, i dont know if you read all the posts ha. Im not buyin it. There was more wrong with it then what the guy said
