Need some advice /o/,
I'm trading my 2008 Lancer online (Canada), and a guy offered me this 2004 Mustang GT.
I like the car, and it's worth slightly more than mine.
But the guy is being a bit sketchy, wants car gone within next 5 days as he is going on vacation, and the car has a temporary sticker. (Meaning it was not safetied)
He has, however, agreed to have my personal mechanic look at it and test drive it. My mechanic will also tell me what it will need to pass our safety inspection and give me his personal recommendation.
Car is american originally, 47000 miles.
Does this seem reasonable or should I just forget about it because I don't want someone else's problem.
TL;DR Sketchy seller, I have possible solution?
>>
I should also mention car has an adjustable tune, coilovers, borla exhaust.
>>
Have your mechanic check it out, if it's not too bad then do it if you like the car?

>time pressure
Classic con

He said he would be willing to have it safetied for a little extra (understandable)
But I'd feel better with my mechanic doing it and telling me if anything is up.
You think that'd be good enough to keep the troubles away?

Tell him you want to fuck his wife that way you know he's serious. If he won't let you fuck his wife something is up

Lmao, might work.

Seems like if you get it checked out well it should be OK

>2008 lancer is worth less than a 2005 Mustang GT
What in the fuck
>>
>>14881998
Here the lancers go for about $6-7k, Mustang GT about 8-10k depending on condition.
>>
>>14881998
>289 mustang at that
>>
>>14882033
thats weird. A 2008 Mustang GT is like 5K sometimes even less., a Lancer is like 8-12

Wow, must be nice getting them for that cheap.
Like I said up here Lancer is about 1-2k less, when I see them for sale.
Blackbook seems to think so too.
>>
>>14882204
And yes I realize Blackbook isn't concrete, and this is asking price.
Have seen many examples of these prices.

those mustangs are ragged out shitbox DD's down here
>>
>>14882260
Eh, to me it's better than a 156hp sedan. I mean interior quality is about the same.
>>
Sounds fishy OP...
>>
hmm.... if you have it checked out do it right sounds like hes trying to give you crap
>>
I have one, they're pretty reliable, haven't had any issues and i dont think their known for anything. If you trust your mechanic that should work out fine.
>>
>>14883804
They're not their, for fucks sake you spelt it right once before in the same sentence.
>>
>>14883804
300k on the V6 motor and still going.

Pressuring you for time is the red flag. Why can't he wait until after vacation? Smells like scam. Pass.
>>
>>14881582
It looks like a clean car, I like the cowl hood and cobra r bumper.
The mechanic should tell you if it has bad syncros, or ticking valves, etc. It might be legit since he agreed to let one look at it.

I have owned 6 mustangs, 5 of them mod motors. they were all piles of garbage. id pass.
