Wouldn't know where these are being sold would you, i'd love to get one and at this price i could possibly afford one.

A number of them have been posted on eBay. Most of them are in need of costly repairs. Some cannot be repaired safely without a new frame. Some have repaired and may look fine during a casual inspection. However, the repairs may not meet Ford's standards and the car may not be safe to drive. You should have an expert inspect any used car before buying and even more so for a salvaged title.

Buyer beware!

I am fully aware of this, i buy wrecked cars and either part them out or have them repaired in my spare time. If i bought a repaired car it would be getting a full checkup, who would you guys reccomend to do this.

The GTGuys listed on this forum know the cars very well and have done many inspection for potential buyers.

If & when the time comes i'd like to get a professional shop to look over the car, nothing against the guys on here but i would want to make sure the car is checked over properly. I have seen cars repaired that look 1oo% till you either get them on a hoist or start measuring and really taking a good look. In saying that i wouldn't say no if someone wanted to come have a quick look for me before i hoped on a plane.

Amen, very few folks qualified to give a PPI, send THE GT GUYS or THE GT TECH as cheap insurance.
