Well guys just got back from L.A. I went to check out this Fox for the wife. Its a really nice car on out side. The engine felt real strong has a CAI ( not sure brand) underdrive pullys, chrome vlv covers ( not sure if it had headwork) , but felt really strong maybe slight cam. Exhaust it had headers, x-pipe, and flowmasters. Very nice rumble to the car. It didnt feel like it had gears but it did have disc brakes all way around but 4 lugg. NOW the bad in my opinion. The drivers seat seemed like moter was weak didnt want to go forward with me in it. It was missing trim: corner piece over mirror, lid over ash tray, trim around radio, and center council top, back to holes to get to rear shocks was missing as well. The radio didnt work was missing buttons looked stock. Te MPH seemed to be reading high. The Tach was stuck at 3 grand. It did seem mech sound though. The paint was fresh and new as well.. That pretty much sums up car. He wanted like 4600 or something but said he dropped price to just get rid of car. Tags where expired in july. Told me he let it go for 3500 tonight if I had cash. I passed on it and said I would call him back. The wife liked it other than interior being rough. Oh on test drive I mashed on it going onto highway it seemed strong but as I was rolling about 65-75 I let up mashed it back down and it never kicked down this kinda worried me.

Anyway Tell me what you guys Think...

CWO & Orange I like your input ASAP

I plan on getting a hold of the guy with white fox as well. I am not fond of the red interior but if it runs good it is already lowered ect and has new clutch. I will just have to teach the wife to drive a stick. This is for both of us but if we do a cruise it will be her driving the fox. He said 3000 when I talked to him today but said that he didnt know if he could neg price cause it was a club members car. ( Said he was biggest mustang club on west coast, lol what club you with? Mr. Mustangs! I said never heard of you guys. I am a part of W.S he was like oh I heard of you guys)

Would you pick car up for 3500 I guess is what I am asking or should I hold off and look for something else? I am kinda worried about trans not kicking down

I would hold off and wait for something else. You didn't mention anything about smog. You said tags were expired which means it probably needs a smog. You do not want to buy something with a bunch of problems especially electrical. You can find something that is solid for $3500. I would rather buy something that needs paint than something that has tranny and electrical problems. Just my .02

Thanks orange! I for sure dont want to have to get trans rebuilt. I was telling wife same thing on way home its alot cheaper to replace a clutch than the auto tranny. Im going to try to take a look at the white one for 3 K as well. I am on look out for a Fox GT for wife. I dont want to pay over 4K I just want a nice daily driver for her that is mech sound and looks decent maybe a 5 footer

Seems like the prices of Foxes are dropping everyday. I pick up quite a few cars and with the budget you have- you should be able to pick up something your confident about with out any problems. IMO 3k is a little high for that car. If you have the time: Shop around. Just my .02 cents.
