That wing would be gone the day i bought it

What track times would this thing pull and should I be careful...because its fishy at such a low price?

Looks nice aside from the wing. How many miles on it?

 

[mustangman70]

He says it has 88,000....but its high due to the gears

What a BEAUTIFUL wing. :not: How could anyone give the car those performance upgrads and then go put that wing on it.

Not too bad a price considering the mods. A stock 97 sells about 8k here. He probably want s to get out from under a note or needs some quick cash.

if you can, offer him 7500 in cash right there. if he tries to protest, tell him he's losing value because of that pathetic ugly wing.

As a precaution, does he/she have proof of the engine work stated (head swap)? I've seen too many people purchase a car with stated engine rebuilds or work only to find out later that there wasn't ***** done to it....Just FYI....I would lose the wing

Get documentation that headwork has actually been done to the car and get any other documentation you can down to even oil change intervals if possible. Look the car over carefully. Check for exhuast, fuel, transmission, differential, oil, and coolant leaks. Check the transmission fluid for metal grit and make sure all fluids are in decent condition. I'de also ask to take the car for a test drive before purchasing and make sure its ok and nothing is wrong with it. Be sure to look for the SES light and listen for any odd noises that would indicate a problem.

Thanks for all ther help guys!!

Im awating a call back from him. I will ask if he has ANY documentation on ANY fluid changes and that head work. evan if he didnt do a head swap it wouldent mean that much to me anyways.
