Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay.Car is clean but is 11 years old and almost 100k on it so for me $4000 tops.Considering I picked up a loaded 02 impala with 100k (sales reps car) on it with a listed price of $12,900 for $6500 4000 is pushing for me.

Well with 15 bids already and still having 5 days left I'm sure it will hit the $4500 mark. Realy like with any new or used car you need to ask yourself what it is worth to you? Go take a look at it and see what kind of shape its in. Sure you can find a foxbody for less but the pad think about them is "at least around here" that they are starting to get old in general and most have been hotrodded to near death. If its a nice clean car and something you realy want then get it. Then if you think you paid to much just do like everyone else and lie about what you paid[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_tup.gif[/img] money comes and goes but a good car is hard to find. Wish I still had the 90'GT

thanks guys, the most I would want to pay is 4500 anyway since that is really all I can afford. I will at least go look at the car and bid accordingly.

Man that car would sell in a heart beat here in my town in Ohio.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]In my opinion a rust free stock Mustang 2dr 5.0 is a rare fined today,most of the 2drs have been made into drag cars. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_spongebob.gif[/img]

I got a hold of the owner of this car. Turns out it is not a one owner car, it wasn't registered till 1997, before it was a cop car. What are the differences between the two, and does this up the value of the car? He said something about there was some type of oil cooler, and a different exhaust. are the chp stangs worth more or does this hurt the value?

The oil cooler (I believe it goes in the lower radiator hose near the water pump and has short hoses going to the oil filter base), silicone radiator and heater hoses and certified speedometer were some of the main differences. Maybe stiffer shocks but these would be worn out by now anyway. Check the underside closely for signs of bottoming out. DPS officers aren't afraid to cut through medians, bounce over curbs, etc. while in pursuit. Look for signs of accident damage (paint overspray on mouldings, door handles, under the hood, etc.; part number stickers on control arms, tie rods, etc. indicating that that part has been changed[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]. Fender-benders are no big deal but a friend who worked as a mechanic at DPS when they ran Mustangs told of some major wrecks being rebuilt that he thought were totals. 5.0's are TOUGH motors and DPS has a good maintaince program. They burn up a lot of brakes but use the best pads and replace rotors if any hint of scoring or overheating. They never repair a flat tire-not even a slow leak but always put a new one on (speed-rated of course). Drive it over a rough, cobbly street to check for squeaks and rattles. A thoroughly thrashed car will be full of squeaks and rattles. PS I still haven't heard: Have you stomped on that Chevelle yet?

I would say, nothing they put in a police can could be worth the ammount of abuse that it did see, unless it is a supercharger. other than that I would pay less for the car since it seved the PD at one point.
