buying a 95 5.0 need opinions

[dave955.0]

im looking at a 95 5.0 gt 5 speed and i have some questions about it. so far it has a flowmaster exhaust kit, new clutch, new interior, new headlights the old ones were yellowed. and it comes with a factory spoiler and different taillights they look different than the ones in it i guess they are a newer model he said they would look better. it has 115k miles on it. the only problem i can see is that the air bag light was on. the battery was dead when he went to it so i thought maybe the battery being unhooked may cause that to happen cause ive unhooked the battery on a car before and the check engine has stayed on for a while then went off. the car doesent show any signs of being wrecked all the paint matches and it drives strait going down the road and doesent have a salvage title. he is asking $5500. any opinions are appreciated or tell me what to look out for.

thats a common thing... idk why it does that... airbags will still work if ya hit something...

and he is still asking $2,500+ over Value...
you can buy 17" cobras here for near 900 bucks

not worth it

especially with 115k on it... in 50,000 miles or less you're gonna need to redo the valves...

so don't waste your money

you're opening a big can of worms with a 11-12year old car. Find a grandma owned car with 50k or less on it. Plan on spending a couple grand to solve all the little naggy problems it'll have.
