2003 PURCHASE QUESTION

[lvs]

I agree- $70K is a little high with no add ons, but off $65 or so and see if he bites. Also check the service records because even though it only has 3,000 miles, 5 years is a long time to sit and they still should have been doing some routine maintenance on it. I wouldn't want something that has sat for 5 years and never had any fluids changed.

Just my 2 cents worth. I paid $52,000 for an 2001 open top last year and spent close to $ 5000 getting it where I am comfortable going anywhere. I have a 2001 GT Mustang Convertable with 4000 miles. Had all the fluids check and all were good as the day it came from the factory. Old wives tale from the oil companies about oil going bad sitting in the gearbox. Its only money and if you can aford it and like it pull the trigger and get it. Whats 2 or 3 thousand more on top of $ 68,000. They are not making any more and it will keep its value as good as any $70,000 car you can buy. He has already took the big loss from new.I have an H1 and H2 and I am waiting on the H3t. Good Luck.
