OJ needs a lil help.

[DM OldmanJenkins]

Ok well a few of you guys know I got into a bad car accident and my Lexi has been totalled. :'( But it's time for me to get a new car. I found 2 beautiful mustangs on craigslist and I'm havin trouble deciding which one I want, and I just figured I'd get opinions from you guys. They're both the same year, both very sexy, only one has less mileage and is an automatic, the others a 5 speed with a lil more mileage.

Shes the automatic.

First one.....

First one is a V-8, You will burn more fuel... but it looks like a clean unit.

Second one is a V-6 standard... will be good on fuel... but will suck in the city, changing gears at every green light.

Close in mileage.... Ask to test drive, Make sure the engine isnt warm when you get there. Alot of clunks and problems cant be noticed after the car has been warmed up.

Pop the hood and look for different colored bolts in the inside quarter panels... a sign the vehicle has been smashed up and repaired.

Look down the side from front to back... look for straight lines, another sign of body work. Also, you can run a magnet down the sides... to check for bondo repairs.

go to copart.com

see if u can make an account, buy a hit car fix it up itl be cheaper and for the money u gettin that car maybe u can get something better same price

 

[DM4L SK]

Be careful bro, like MM was pretty much saying.. People sell cars that have had problems. Craigslist would be a very popular spot for cars with problems.

i have this one http://cdn-www.rsportscars.com/imag...-6-0/lamborghini-diablo-6-0-2001-doors-up.jpg

 

[DM OldmanJenkins]

Well the guy with the green one just told me it has a ding in the front right panel and it needs a c02 sensor... im gud on that >.>

 

[DM Razor_Bladez]

get the co2 sencor right away u dont wanna drive with out tht

 

[DM firevice]

neither... get an import.
mustangs handle like a bitch, my granny's 60 year old truck has the same axle technology

 

[DM Deathrow]

Why does the second one have cobra emblems?

edit: I also think those parts are a grand total over $2,500
It also mentions 120k.

Posting low on craigslist is a tactic to attract moar views for potential buyers.
Did you at least call them or contact them?

mustangs got better handling after the 2000 models. and they were more for speed in drags then in circuits. but yea gotta love the mustangs. I wanna see the new dodge viper. new model this year or next year? can't member.

yeah I actually looked at both of them the red n black one was perfect took it for a spin and everything. The green one needed an 02 sensor had a dent and the fucking starter blew on it... >.> I decided not to go for either, the red one would have been nice, but they cost more to fix than I can pay. So Im goin for a honda

I Actually tried the site,. it says you need a license (not drivers) but like ex: dealership license to purchase about 98% of the cars up for auction man

 

[DM ViSiioNaRY]

ya its kind of complicated. my bro uses a friends account, and just pays him back whenever he gets a car there. maybe you could ask around and get an account i dont know.

also when u buy a hit car with salvage title, u have to pass inspection at the end when u fix it. and every part u changed or whatever u have to have a receipt for it in order to pass
