Trade my fox for a '99 GT?

[red-fox]

I have a 92 lx notch 5.0 with 5speed stock exept 3:73's and has 200,000kms on it. There's a guy that wants to trade me for a 99 GT. Has 144,000kms. automatic trans, cobra front bumper, has cold air intake and a sub in the trunk. I'll be using it as a daily driver/weekend toy.What would you guys do? should I or shouldent I?

If it wasn't an auto I'd say give it a hard look, but I don't know. Depends, do you really want a new edge GT? 5 speed notches are pretty hot.

If you drive alot and you really use it as a daily driver, the 99 is probably the better car.
Not as much fun, but more comfortable for sure.

Well I normally take the bus to school as its free so I only use the car on the weekends in the summer. So not alot of driving. Just that my 5.0 is worth around $5000-$6000 and the 99 is worth about $9000-$10,000. My 92 have never been winter driven but the 99 has been winter driven since new. I'm not really a fan of the automatic either... Just the price diffrence is tempting me! But anothing thing is, in my town there isnt a single fox for miles, but there is 3 Gt's of the same body style and about 3 more v6 stangs of that stlye. So the fox definatly stands out a little from the crowd.

which town? near WPG?

Trust me that 99 will soon be a rust bucket, manitoba salt is gonna eat that baby up..........and even though they are asking 9-10000 around here they aren't worth it especially with that many kms

it wouldn't happen to be white would it?

I see no upside to doing it.

 

[red-fox]

The 99 is in winnipeg and yeah its white. You've seen it? I was thinking it over and am pretty sure im not going to do it. Like you said it'll be pretty rusty in a few years

if someone is looking to trade you a car that should be worth 3-4 gs more then something is wrong.

 

[Cobra912]

that car has been on kijiji a long time, I'd stick with your fox dude. Where are you?

 

[red-fox]

Ok. I think I'm going to stick with the fox! Thanks for the feedback! And I'm by Russell Mb, kinda by the Sask border.

 

[citmov]

Good decision! Stick with the FOX!

 

[5LiterWes]

Good choice. I'd never swap a nice fox for a winter driven Mustang.

 

[Beasty306GT]

def keep the fox... down the line if u want a 99 there are alot out there

Just that my 5.0 is worth around $5000-$6000 and the 99 is worth about $9000-$10,000.

I think the price gap might be closer than that.

I've frequently seen 99 GT's selling for $4000-5000 or so. A cleaner example might go for 6000-7000.

Hell, i only got $9500 for my 2003 GT. Price is falling on the 99-04's so quick that in a year or so, i bet you can pick one up for $3000.

Potent little car though. I had an 03 GT and loved it. Ran a 14.1 with it bone stock, and it was confortable as hell to drive an handled much better....granted...i did buy it with 5 miles on the clock.

 

[Cobra912]

it's where he's located. I'm in the same province and people ask WAY too much for every mustang including crappy v6's. There is got to be a reason the car is for trade (advertised as such) because he know's he won't get what he's asking

 

[red-fox]

Thanks for all the feed back! Like Cobra 912 said the prices around here are crazy! I'd like it if they where only 4-5 thousand here!

 

[Mustang5L5]

Ah Canada...didn't see that.

 

[S&B]

kms and funny money

I'm affraid that I'm going to have to see pics of this alleged Notch before I give my statement.
