    96 Mystic - Questions

    That's what worked for me, posting in a neighboring state's listings. I got lucky I guess, as this was really my first sale on craigslist and I received little if any spam. It depends on how motivated you are to sale. If you need a quick sale I'd lower to $8500 or less. There are quite a few of...

    96 Mystic - Questions

    I sold my 96 Mystic with 135k miles, overall good condition, and several bolt ons a few months back for $7500. I tried SVTPerformance along with several other forums. I put in on craigslist and it was gone in a week. If you haven't tried that yet, put up an ad with good details and pics. I'd say...

    Any good All-Season tires that hook well in the summer

    I had Hankook Ventus v4es tires on my Cobra. They hooked well for an A/S tire. I ran the same times at the track with them on chrome 03 Cobra wheels as I did with Nitto 555's on stock wheels at the track. I actually preferred the Hankooks over the 555's. I never got in snow, but they handled the...

    On the plug wires, it's hard to beat 9mm FRPP wires. Not a bad deal on the car, enjoy!

    Mach 1 or Cobra?

    Finally, thanks for the on topic response. I know I love the way the Mach 1 looks, but there's something about the Cobra that is appealing to me as well.

    Jobs to Mustang $

    I'm working at RadioShack. I make minimum at $7.25 an hour, plus commissions. I average $10-$11 an hour. I just make small sacrifices here and there, it all adds up. I didn't mod my car right away. I searched around until I found a great deal on the car I wanted. Got it. I saved for 6 months...

    Jobs to Mustang $

    And this gives the rest of us a bad name. We don't all suck up to mom and dad. I'll admit, I don't pay rent and it allows me to have more money for other things. However, I worked my butt off through school so that I was able to get enough scholarships to pay for my housing. That's just as if I...

    Jobs to Mustang $

    Very good points made. It's all about saving up for what you want. I've been through several rigs, all paid for with cash. I wanted a Stang, found a deal on my Mystic and went for it. I had saved up so I had the cash to spare. I worked all through high school, and now I'm a full time college...

    Mach 1 or Cobra?

    All excellent points guys! I'll agree with most of them as well. I love the Azure Blue Mach 1, I'd have that or a solid black one for sure. The interior seems to be a big one for most of you, and I'll admit I love it. That, along with the functioning shaker hood, I'm really beginning to feel it...

    Mach 1 or Cobra?

    I'm not buying this vehicle right away. As I mentioned in my first post, I'm just beginning to do some looking. As far as keeping the mystic, finances didn't allow it. It was paid for. I don't take loans, period. I hate paying to use someone elses money. Sure, I have to on a house, but that's...

    Mach 1 or Cobra?

    According to his sig, yes. I really had no complaints on my 96 Cobra, just routine maintenance for the most part.

    Mach 1 or Cobra?

    After the sale of my 96 Mystic, I'm beginning to look for the next purchase. It won't be anytime soon, it doesn't hurt to begin the search for information. Based on current pricing, I'm thinking I'll end up with a 03/04 Mach 1 or a 99/01 Cobra. I like the newer Mach 1. I love the look and also...

    Anyone with access to a Carfax report?

    You should be receiving an e-mail from me shortly with that info. IDK, it's not looking good on that one, accident and high mileage. The e-mail will contain the full report. EDIT: I've had several guys PM me requesting reports after I posted in this tread. I'd love to help you guys out, but my...

    Farewell guys...

    Indeed, they all have their problems, but from my experience (after having owned Toyota's, Fords, Dodges, and Chevy's) is that Toyotas remain more reliable once up over 100k miles. That's my luck, yalls may be different.

    Farewell guys...

    Thanks EPIK. Mileage has a lot to do with it, I've never had anything with under 100k miles so that's a big part of it. There were a lot of factors, biggest was size/storage. The Cobra just wasn't big enough for my stuff going to/from school. Second is that I was driving it every day, live on...
