Okay,
i am about to get a new job, next week (hopefully)
its going to pay $10 and hour and 40+ hour weeks
(i put that up there to say what i will be making enough or yall think i will to buy the car)

anyways,

i was driving around today and saw a very pretty car that i am interested in,
its an 03 mach 1 with 43,000 miles
long tube headers
shorty (i think x couldn't see it too well)
borla cat back
JTL intake,
DD billet rims
275 kuhmo front 315 nitto rear
5 speed manual,
i am guessing probably gears. (it makes sense they will be on there with the mods you can see)
the dealership is asking 15K for it,
i want to start building credit, so in a couple weeks (if its still there) i was going to ask my dad if he would co-sign with me, try to get the car around 10-11K after the trade-in of my current mustang,

do yall think that would be a good deal??

and wow this car sounds mean...

 

Good deal is based on what Machs go for in your area. I would take it personally becaue I spent $21k after tag and tax on mine and I got it with 35,000mi. And it's nice on your credit so long as your not late on your payments should you finance. You definitely wouldn't regret a Mach though (you might for a couple weeks should you experience a similar IAC problem, but that's rare so don't worry about it). I say go for it, especially with that new job.

 

sounds like a good deal to me.

 

Sounds great to me too

 

i talked to the guy, and he "said" that he will try to hold it for me for about two weeks so i can be at my job and get some money from it, i think the hard part would be getting my dad to do it, because mom just bought new fusion, but i don't know until i ask...

 

but i like it,
1 because the expensive mods that i would want to put on it are already done..

all i would want to do is move my sub over and tint the windows


oh also it has a pioneer touch screen radio in it...

 

Well if you got it out the door for around 13K then your payments would be right around $250 a month or so. If you can afford that then I'd say go for it, but if not, then I'd save up and wait.

 

When in Texas are you again?

I just might be interested... lol j/k

Good luck with the Mach 1 man

 

its only an 9 hour drive for you (doing the speed limit)
i am in lubbock...


and the $250 month payments i don't think will be hard to make if i get the job i am looking at (refer to post "did i get the job??" for more info on job i want)

 

good news, just talked to my dad, and he said i fi get the job we will talk about it...

 

You forgot the most important part

What color is it?

 

sadly red,

ha ha its actually really pretty...

and the only thing that i see wrong with it is the last owner drilled the front bumper for the plate...


i can take a few quick snap shots of it from my car later tonight when i am going home from the shop...

 

Torch red? That's the 2nd color I want it for some reason the gods prevent me from finding a good azure blue

 

yes torch red... its really pretty in person... and i am normally not a big red car fan..

just means i will stick out more though, not very many red cars in lubbock

 

If you're going to describe it as pretty you may as well go to the next Smart dealer and buy yourself a Smartcar you flaming homosexual. Lmao. Badass is more like it.

 

okay you can say that about me, and just wait and see i WILL have that Eleanor smart car in my garage...

ha ha. but OMG it sounds soooo nice, i had to re-arrange my pants when he started it...

okay its a VERY BADASS car with a BADASS paint color!!

 

+1,000,000 to PCola.

And SxyXc, standing out is what it's all about. How many yellow cars do you think there are in all of Colorado? Not a lot. And there are three yellow cars in my entire town...my family owns two of them.

 

@ 10/hr it would be pushing it unless you dont have any other expenses...i work 9/hr part time.

 

Haha, almost every Mach 1 for sale within 500 miles of me on auto-trader is Yellow. Like damn flies.

 

If you can afford it, BUY IT!!!

 

i will only have to pay gas, and other maintenance for the car, then food when i want to eat away from home, (i am lucky) and other fun things i buy...

 

Probably Zinc yellow too because they know Zinc yellow sucks, PCola.

 

yes that is true standing out is very good, i think this is the only red mach one in town, there are like 2 white ones, a blue one, and i think a black one...

and wow on the yellow cars... nice

 

We've got two Mach's in my town. Mine and some other guys.

 

well i am happy,
today i got a call that said i will take a drug test tomorrow, and then get a job (when i pass)

so the mach is becoming more and more of a posibility, my father said when i get a job, we will talk about it.. i can not wait if i get the car..
mods i will do...
1) get it tinted 15% and 5% like within the first week.... (have a good friend that owns a tint shop, and we will switch cars for a day and he will get it tinted)
2) put my sub in current box, then build a fiberglass box for it.
3) get smoked headlights (when i get the money)
4) tint the tail lights


i don't think thats a bad list for the car, it should not be too expensive either.. just a new amp kit, headlights, the tail light tint, and then the fiberglass stuff.

cell phone pics



bot very good but it does show the BADASSNESS of the car..

but the car is looking more and more like it will be in my garage,
only got to hope it does not sell in the next i guess week and a half to two weeks...

 

what happened to the Mach 1 stripe on the hood Im guessing they took it off.

 

i was wondering the same thing, but that is something i can do later... but the paint is good where the strip was spoce to be so i don't really care (the prob took it off early when they bought it)

 

Looks good, but the first thing I would do is get a mach 1 decal back on that hood. Looks naked without it.

 

it does look very plain with out it...

 

Very Nice. You can get the stripe for it and do it yourself. I love those DD black bulllits, they look great on the red paint. overall it looks very nice..

Just remember, Can you afford the insurance.. It might be more than you expect, young man.
