MrMeanGreen Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Last time I did this, I bought an import (my MR2). Due to it's recent sale, I needed another daily driver, but something with a little more balls. I will miss the outstanding handling, but maybe this car can be made to handle. Anyways, I broke down bought a Ford. Yes folks, Mr. GM bought not only a Ford, but a Mustang at that. That being said, some half-ass pics until I get better ones. http://www.columbusracinghosting.com/agreen/mustang/1.jpg http://www.columbusracinghosting.com/agreen/mustang/2.jpghttp://www.columbusracinghosting.com/agreen/mustang/3.jpghttp://www.columbusracinghosting.com/agreen/mustang/4.jpghttp://www.columbusracinghosting.com/agreen/mustang/6.jpghttp://www.columbusracinghosting.com/agreen/mustang/7.jpghttp://www.columbusracinghosting.com/agreen/mustang/8.jpghttp://www.columbusracinghosting.com/agreen/mustang/9.jpg The details: 1989 Ford Mustang LX 5.0L Convertible AOD (bleh) Yellow with black top (rare color I've heard) 122k miles Bone stock, recent New Jersey state inspection Power everything Only problems are the power door locks don't work ($70 actuator) and the passenger door sags a bit ($15 hinge pins) Everything else is pristine and in excellent running order. This was the previous owner's daily driver. I ended up paying $2000 for it, and FedEx is shipping it to my door for $495. It should be here in 2-4 weeks. Yay.

Dr. Pomade Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Cool - hope the car serves you well. Mustangs are unbeatable in street races, BTW - known fact. Those the stock rims? I thought they didn't put those rims on the Mustangs until 91 or 92. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 $495 to have it shipped. Eeek, I woulda made the trip to Jersey myself for that much, especially when that's 25% of the cost of the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verse Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Man, sell an MR2 to get a 5.0 Mustang as a daily driver. I would have gotten like a Civic hatchback, cavalier or focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have gotten a newer, and perhaps nicer, Civic for the same money I paid for my Mustang, but I'd MUCH rather sport the Mustang daily.

I'm just saying that MOST people when they try to get a daily driver they look for a car get good gas mileage. What's a 5.0 fox body get.. 20ish? With the way gas prices are now I'd rather have something that gets over 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kohones Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Doesn't sound like price was out of line. Do you have any $$ left? If so, I'd consider having it painted, something (BLUE) would be nice??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
