2000 Ford Mustang - MAN TRANS. SUPER CLEAN. RUNS GREAT. CLEAN TITTLE.

The price was 3,500, but I got it for 3,200. Pretty good deal right?

Nice man congrats. welcome to the world of stangs

atlanticblue98 · January 17th, 2010, 12:54 AM

congrats, car looks to be in good condition

HMUSN · January 17th, 2010, 12:57 AM

Not too bad of a deal. Welcome to the forums.

Brettva · January 17th, 2010, 01:15 AM

Thanks guys

I bought it off a family run dealership, and I was pretty much hooked ever since they started it up. I didn't think a V6 would sound so good!

This isn't a completely perfect car though. The gas was on empty when I got it, so I thought i'd fill it up. After taking 45 dollars of gas, I saw a puddle growing underneath the car. The gas was leaking out of the tank pretty quickly. I checked under the car to see what LOOKED like holes in the gas tank, which nearly set me off, considering how much confidence the dealer *A kid just 2 years older than me* had instilled in me about the quality of the car.

Luckily, it was just a gasket needing replacement, no holes in the tank. I have a friend coming over tomorrow who can do the work for 20 bucks.

All in all, I still say it was a great buy, and an amazing deal

Grr, meant to say "great day and amazing deal" but whatever >_>

mustang_fanatic · January 17th, 2010, 01:33 AM

Nice buy man and welcome to our world

My first Mustang was (and still is) a 2000 5 speed V6. Yours is in better condition than mine but I got mine with 97k miles for $2400 (some of the "fixes" are mods I planned on doing anyways lol). If you're looking to really get into modding or just love your car, there's plenty around here to read and you'll learn a ton.

You need to check out the before and after picture section.
Cuz it all starts with that first one.

lcorriveau3 · January 17th, 2010, 08:05 AM

Your purchase was a good deal. Have fun with your mustang no matter what you choose to do for upgrades.

Matt. · January 17th, 2010, 08:54 AM

xxfast96stangxx · January 17th, 2010, 11:12 AM

It helps drop the price when the cars need work. Mine needed new exhaust, paint, some body work, and a tune up. Exhaust, paint, and tune up were all things I planned on doing anyways so it all worked out.
