about to buy a fox

[bryon888]

I am looking at getting into a foxbody once again. The car that I am looking is my uncle's 87 lx 5-speed. It has 151,XXX miles on it. he has owned it for 6 years and driven it just a bit over 10k miles. As for new things... shocks, struts, brake pads and rotors, has a new H pipe and mufflers, 3.73 gears and new rack and pinion, b&m shifter, clarion cd player and all new speakers. He showed me the receipt for the new 2500 paint. The interior will need some work and I'm sure that the engine will need some work in the near future. I really like the fact that i know who has previously owned the car and its not been beat on. He wants to get $3,800 out of it. I am thinking about $3,500. I want to give him what the car is worth. what do you guys think?

thanks

turbines came on gt

 

[bryon888]

ok...not stock, but how about crappy turbines...?

Turbines are not crappy they make perfect dragstrip wheels

 

[bryon888]

easy...easy... No need to ruffle any feathers. Im sure that I am going to need this site plenty if I do end up buying this car. Turbines might make good strip wheels, but this is going to me mostly a street car and I dont think they look very great at all. Back to the ? Is this a good price for this car? I've been out of the mustang scene for a bit, so Im not up on the prices.

Thanks!

can someone please point me in the right direction?

sounds like a really good price, pics would help out a lot though

Yeah it's a good price as long as it isn't a rust bucket. Foxes just keep going up in price lately.

If its clean its worth that.

One thing you might want to do eventually is convert it from Speed Density to Mass Air Flow if you start doing alot of performance modifications to it.

thanks for the advice. there is a bit of rust on that hatch, but i think that is normal. just a few spots. i wish i had some pictures to post of it. sorry.

i paid 3500 for a 90lx w/ stock paint, no rust, and 150k on it like 3 years ago so ide say, if it has new paint, the paint looks good, and the engine isnt ****ed then go for it.
