Trading in my Mustang (possibly)
I am in no rush to trade her in. So I am looking for the best deal. But with the amount of camping I do, the amount of driving I do, and the fact I have three dogs that love to go on car rides. Combined with the winters in Utah, I have decided it would be best to trade in my Mustang for a truck. I have been trying to shop around for a really good deal, and I found one I am interested in today.
Here are some pictures:
Body looks to be in really good condition. Which is something I will be looking at really well when I go test drive it this weekend because of a crack in my Mustang's bumper that I didn't notice before I bought it.
It is a 5.4L V8 4WD.
116,000 Miles on it.
Only real things I don't like about it is the leather seats. They are comfy and fun but after a while they start to crack. Which it looks may be happening on the passenger side seat. Question for you guys is: Are leather seat cracks easy to fix? Cheap to fix? Without buying new seats? Would leather treatment prolong their life? (I take great care of my cars)
This caught my eye because KBB of a 2002 with that many miles on it is about $11,085 and they are asking $6995
I have already up an appointment with a mechanic to look at it on the test drive, and they offer free car fax reports to potential buyers. So I have covered myself if there is something wrong with it.
Other than that what do you all think?
(I wish I had put this much time into buying my Stang, I would have been more happy rather than buying the first one I found and then finding better Stangs for less money.)
