I’d pass on a manual for everyday driving, personally. Especially if you are in traffic a lot. Price seems a little high, but maybe it’s not. Have not priced a GT
I live in an area with a lot of traffic, but I can take the metro for free to work so it’s not really a daily in traffic

I would pass with frame damage would be suspicious why it's being sold. Shop around plenty of Mustangs on the market .

No frame damage as far as I or the mechanic could tell. They did an alignment on it for me, no problems there, thrust angle is like .08 or something not crabbing

and yeah there are plenty but it is nigh on impossible to find one that has grabber blue, manual, performance pack, and active valve exhaust. At least below the Mach 1 price level

I really like grabber blue especially with black trim and wheels , maybe you'll be able to get one. I just turned 65 and my last Mustang been looking for another F150

Thanks everyone. I think I’m gonna pass on this, tho it kills me to do so, due to rust concerns from Ontario plus Carfax.

Ugh! I just want easy gratification! Lol
Take your time. there are tons of mustangs for sale.

Yep, that is a sweet combo. Not too many grabber blues for sale though and basically none with the active valve exhaust

good luck on the truck search

Just wait for it. You'll find one that is what you want. It took me 4 years to pull the trigger on one. They come and go just don't be upset about it. Christ I bought mine on vacation after finding it in florida. I'd say I wasted 2 days going to see it and driving it back to where I was staying, but well worth the time to grab it.

IMO, if you can't touch it or have someone else look at it for you I would pass. Go to the Facebook forum and see if someone in that area that would go take a look at it, and drive it for you. Although they aligned it the frame still could have damage.

You’re probably right, I did have a PPI done though.
I just officially bailed on the deal this morning though

Probably a good decision on your part. I never buy a car I'm not 100% comfortable buying. I hate having buyers remorse. Don't second guess your gut feeling. Good luck with the hunt.

I can see the appeal. Lovely car man, but I would pass. The moderate on car fax would always be in my mind.

Be very careful with Canadian cars there is a massive organized crime theft and write off revinning scam for years happening not to mention write off chop shop cut and weld structural that are self recertified.

I would not buy a Canadian car at all even the franchise dealers are in on it thanks to bad management and corrupt employees.

Maybe that one is good but you need to see the damage pics and verify the VIN against actual options with Ford in the least and buy from reputable seller.
