    Looks really nice. MG is my favorite color.

    with 136k I'd hit him at 5,500K then settle on 6k.

    Are these motors prone to anything going bad that I should look for? It's a 9 hour drive home.

    Only issue I've ever had was a spark plug came out. I got lucky it didn't blow out. I heard it was the lack of threads Ford put in. Other than that I've had no issues. Make sure the car is rust free, I've got a rust mark on my inner fender lip.

    good luck, I remember seeing a picture of that car before. Looked really clean. Not crazy about the mileage though. I got mine with about 99k miles for around 6k. After they totaled my 95 and it was all said and done i paid 4,500 ish. lol

    I am going to say it like this.. If you are looking for a nice cruiser or a DD in the summer its hard to beat a 99-04 GT. They get decent MPG, sound good and ride pretty nice for cheap. I bought mine with 75k miles on mine for 9k and its a premium with mach1000. I was very surprised and got 26.4 mpg on my way down to my new place here in MB and it was completely loaded with stuff I moved down with and fonzie. As far as anything going wrong, my car has 78k miles on it and nothing has gone wrong with it at all. I have been upgrading stuff on it a lot lately, with that being said. IF you are looking for a car that is fast or make big power DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT buy it. it even cost a lot of money just to make 400rwhp. As far as that car, I would say no more than 5500. But like I said, looking for a nice cruiser or DD then yea it is nice. Looking for a fast sports car, no.. Me, I would not buying another 96-04 2v car, unless it was getting a motor swap

    I passed on it. It needs an alignment,inspected a cowl wiper cover, and the rear bumper painted. I offered him 5500 and he won't go for it. Oh well plenty stands out there. It would of been a cruiser!

    Wow, those pictures must have been taken at just the right angles to hide the bodywork ect.

    Still like the car though. Let him sit on your offer a little longer and hit em with it again in July see if he bites.
