So I went and looked at this on Thursday, threw a 500$ holding fee and picked it up yesterday. We drove an hour there to get it, and obviously a hour back. 2003 Mustang GT 5 spd stick. 123,000 miles
Since I am tight on cash now, because I just paid all of it in cash (5000 USD)(and YES I paid for it MYSELF. The only thing my parents are paying is the insurance.) I am not able to do so many mods. BUT tonight I am ordering a new shift knob and seat extenders for sure. Until later this year thats all I can afford haha.
Ill upload more pictures, like the interior and what not later today when I clean it completely. The cars in great condition and the interior is basically meant other than a small seat tear in the leather that my grandma is going to patch aha. Its always been stored in the winter, and I plan to do just that to it. (I have a truck for winter). So here it is!
At my house

At his house on thursday night.

****UPDATE****
Seat extenders came, so did new shifter knob.
Shifter knob came broke, guessing the shipping banged it and broke it.
Installed my seat extenders, BUT in the process we snapped a bolt head off.. I went a little to hard on the ratchet so Sunday my buddy is gonna take care of the bolt stuck in my floor, until then my seat fits a little bit awkward, but not too bad. Gonna just go to stock seats. I have come so accustomed to it in the past week that I really just like the stock setup more. Dont know if I will order a new shift knob replacement because I dont know if it is worth the $30.
I want to upload a exhaust video, but its quiet as balls on cam and it doesnt sound nearly as nice.
*****UPDATE*****
So today I was over at my good friends house, who has a lift. Hes the mechanic at my work, so he knows what hes doing. Today we threw it up, got the broken bolt for my chair out, changed the oil, re welded my pipes because one of them was broken off (that explained the rattle when in reverse) and discovered something. My differential has a slight leak since the seal is old and corroding. Fix shouldnt be more than 200$ since the parts very cheap and the labor is only about 2 hours. Im gonna get a quote tommorrow and if its not under 250$ my friend and I are going to just do it. Hes older so I basically would just handle the lifting of parts and hed do the actual mechanic work ;).
If we didnt catch the leak right away it couldve been a 1500$+ fix. So glad I had him look it over!

Congratulations with a new car!
It looks pretty cool, and I believe it was a good price.

Its a popular vehicle. Very affordable for younger drivers and it has a decent amount of power for someone who is use to driving an 01 F150. And if they are boring to look at, why comment on the post and not just click away.
