Bought new car!

  

wolf39us -> Bought new car! (3/27/2008 8:25:36 AM)

ok so here it is, I just bought a 2000 V6 Mustang Convertible from my girlfriends uncle for $5,500

it has 74,000 Miles on it...lets see what everyone thinks ...did I get a good deal?

Engine is beautiful tires are new, top is brand new, leather is in GREAT condition

The only thing I find wrong with it, (he did point this out), is that the windows on the driver side don't line up perfectly, and the window will catch the top if you don't close door right (you have to put pressure at the top of the window or else it will just catch the top)...there is a small gap between the lining on the rubber of the back window and the driver side window...I'm a little concerned rain might get into it...not sure, I'll need to get those aligned I guess...especially since I don't wanna wear out at the top

Also I bought the car in Florida and drove it home to Connecticut..

North Carolina is NEVER ENDING lol

clean car! i think you got a pretty good deal. what do you have planned for it?

bullet281s -> RE: Bought new car! (3/27/2008 8:29:53 AM)

deff i good deal man with 74k on it they usually go for over 7... but save that money now for a s/c and stroker motor

Very nice car. Not a bad deal at all. I like the headlights.

wolf39us -> RE: Bought new car! (3/27/2008 8:35:41 AM)

I have planned to do the usual for now...a new stereo system and tints...and some after-market fogs maybe...

I just don't know where to put the damn fog switch...I need to find a mustang with the fog switch so I know where it goes lol

oh and another question...do I have to buy a whole new bumper to add fogs....or can I just cut out the plastic lines going across in where the fog lights should be?

indisposible_teens -> RE: Bought new car! (3/27/2008 8:37:31 AM)

Just take off the little plastic parts. If you get under the car and look behind the bumper the plastic parts are held on by a little bolt. I don't remember what the size is, something like 8  or 10.

songtradingusa -> RE: Bought new car! (3/27/2008 8:42:07 AM)

what color is that?  navy or black?  i cant tell, my eyes arent what they used to be, lol.  if its black, black it out, dark wheels, smoked tails...i love the darth vader look.  if its navy, chrome saleens would set it off.

either way, id shave the decal off the side.  but congrats on a nice clean car for a good price!  thats about what i paid for my 98 with 100k on it.

wolf39us -> RE: Bought new car! (3/27/2008 8:49:21 AM)

it's black...and I actually enjoy the decal on the side lol

I dunno maybe I'm just weird...he did also fill in the Mustang lettering on the back bumper

indisposible_teens -> RE: Bought new car! (3/27/2008 8:50:30 AM)

Ouch, I paid 5,500 for mine when it had 60k on it.

wolf39us -> RE: Bought new car! (3/27/2008 8:52:20 AM)

ya well I have been looking all over for this car...and it's hard to find for that price...

at least that's what I find

NYstang -> RE: Bought new car! (3/27/2008 9:03:37 AM)

for the fogs, you just cut out those bars. theres spots where you bolt in the lights- all you need are the metal inserts so the screws hold up. the foglight swith goes in the forward coil holder slot.

Id suggest spend a few extra bucks for an oem style kit. get the clear(or smoked clear) ones with the upgraded bulbs- worth it- from www.vmptuning.com. 2 hour installation, mostly trying to get the screws for the bulbs lined up.

and cut the antenna

indisposible_teens -> RE: Bought new car! (3/27/2008 9:04:02 AM)

Is it manual or auto? I think that you should go with the blacked out look. I think that Vert's that are blacked out look pretty sweet. Actually I think that any car that is blacked out is sweet.[:D]

wolf39us -> RE: Bought new car! (3/27/2008 9:12:49 AM)

it is an automatic...

I have another car for my manual needs

this is a 87 mustang GT V8

this I bought for 2k

and I will probably go with the black out look...anyone give me an example pic of a nice black out tho?

indisposible_teens -> RE: Bought new car! (3/27/2008 9:16:17 AM)

I like the Foxbody. Looks like a pretty nice car for 2k.


Do you mean an example pic of a blacked out Mustang? Just go to google and type in Black Mustang, they will pop up everywhere. You will wonder when you became emo and started seeing so much blackness. lol I would try to post up a pic of a blacked out car but the picture function on this site defeats me big time.[&o]

This is so weird talking to you on two different sites. It's ****ing with my mind. lmao

wolf39us -> RE: Bought new car! (3/27/2008 9:18:52 AM)

haha...you shouldn't have a problem with the picture function...there is an icon you press on! lol

indisposible_teens -> RE: Bought new car! (3/27/2008 9:24:15 AM)

[&o][&o] This site must hate my pictures then.

I can't do it. I fail at life. I tried it and all it would was the dreaded Red X...

wolf39us -> RE: Bought new car! (3/27/2008 10:01:18 AM)

well I have no idea what to tell you then lol

moontang -> RE: Bought new car! (3/27/2008 11:12:34 AM)

hey don tbe hating on NC mo fo its where i live and i happen to like it! lol jj but i do live there

good looking car though

songtradingusa -> RE: Bought new car! (3/27/2008 11:47:27 AM)

im with indisposible, if it is black, blacked out is the way to go!  black wheels, smoked tails, tinted windows.....super sweets.  the decal doesnt look all that bad, but it will really stick out if you black it out.  itd look a lot cleaner if you took it off...but like i said, its your car.  a nice one, too.

Warrior62 -> RE: Bought new car! (3/27/2008 5:33:15 PM)

Agreed, black it out. Beautiful stangs though, the new and the old.
