Looking at used GT tomorrow...

[Nardo GT]

when you least expect it!

As Bony would say ASSolutely!:thumbsup

 

[Nardo GT]

Would not draw as much of a flag IF the car had not been said to had lots of paint work and IF the car had not had 4 previous owners and IF and IF and IF.
Car may be very nice. I dont know. We are just saying "BE CAREFUL"

In my opinion, with 10k miles, paint work, etc, $130k is no great deal. I know you agree with me on that Nardo

Completely agree!:cheers


as you are king of low ball offers! :biggrin Uh we offered the exact same thing for my Heritage car I bought so what does that make you...? lol??:wink
Sorry, had to bust your chops a little bit! :thumbsup

lol

 

[SYCO GT]

The dealer is under a very tight deadline (tommorow) before the car moves on to somewhere else??? Also seems like a red flag...or is someone just in a duress situation and needs to get out? This one smells funny.

Rule number one for purchasers, "never be in a hurry to spend your hard earned money!"

When did that change?

I thought it was, "Close early. Close late. Close often"?

When I was a baby my mom would sing me a lullaby "Bye low, sell high"...ahhh I still remember.:wink Actually I've found acting quickly on a GOOD deal is crucial.:thumbsup The early bird gets the GT....err worm!:cheers

There is definatly truth to this, but it must be on YOUR terms, not the sellers.

Oh, Shelby..you misspelled "definitely"

Soroush,

He wants a Black or Blue in the Southwest? Are you writing under a different name? You have a black and blue!!!:willy

Come on, you can't drive 2 cars (or 4 for some people) at the same time!:lol

Look at this Blue in FL for $139K.

Shipping is ~$1K

Plenty of members here in FL that can look over/test drive

From the listing:

ALSO IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS CAR HAS REAR CONTROL ARMS THAT ARE BILLET ALUMINUM (1of250)

Interesting that only the rears have billet arms! I never had seen an car from the factory with mixed type of arms. If the front arms are not billet, I would have assume that they have been replaced at some time. If so, I would check the front end for repairs. Verify the VIN stickers on the front fenders.

 

[Kayvan]

pass on the blue too

Larry,
This sounds like my mother in law. She can't figure out why I 'need' so many cars! Blue and Black are faster!

Post #1 says the car's vin is 1FAFP90S76Y41623. It shouldn't HAVE billet 'arms on EITHER end, PERIOD.

In light of this, I'd check BOTH ends of the car for evidence of damage. No way those billets should be there at all & no way to know how/why they got there - or FROM where.

Just MHO.

The old "key" expaination is one of the oldest dealer tricks in the book. Anything that is not on Carfax can be explained away with the phrase:"The car was "keyed". I've heard it many times before.

Good catch EP. The back is more likely to have been repaired, but that doesn't precluded the front from also being suspect. This car is a good example of a "story" car. It must have a very interesting story, but know one seems to want to tell us what it is.

 

[Nardo GT]

Whoever saw the billet arms.....are you SURE they are billet?? :bored

 

[JohnnyAngel]

Hi guys im new here ... my car had new machined billet arms put on it by ford and the old cast arms taken off ... is that how they did all cars ?

You're must be a very E-A-R-L-Y '05.

No. The only cars that have the billet 'arms are about the 1st 400 or so GT's made. All subsequent cars have the regular 'arms.


(Edit: In case you're wondering, that's because the FIRST cast arms that went on these cars were done via a new casting process that, in short, proved unsat. 'Long story short: Ford didn't want GT's on the road with those 'arms, so they went to 'owners like yourself & replaced the unsat 'arms with the billet units...at no small expense, I might add.:ack)
