    Pics look good and price seems good for a dealer too. What are your plans for the car? weekend driver, daily driver, store it winters, modify it?

    I do recommend a tune at bare minimum. it wakes up the car and changes the rather disappointing factory shift schedule. You can get a tune from Mo's speed shop in the vendor section. can all be done via mail or email.

    Not to sure. I own a 91 mustang gt and a 1999 Lexus gs400. I was thinking of just adding her to the fleet. Then a part of me said to trade the lexus in and have this be my daily drive. Slap some winter tires on her an call it a day. I owned a 2004 Lightning for 3 years and drove it in the winter. I can imagine it being worse than that

    The aluminum wheels don't fair well thru winter/salt. and you must maintain a 3-6% dia difference front to rear or traction control will kick in. so no putting same size tires all around. crown vic 16" or 17" wheels do fit. there are tire sizes that work best so post up if you need them for a winter set and some one will post up what they run.

    check for squeaks, rattles noises, recommend changing all fluids if you decide to get it. There is a recall on the LCM (lighting control module) unless it has been done already. Ford does not have parts to repair presently, but some memebrs here can fix it, but you have to send the LCM which is easy to remove and be down for a few days.

    Make sure everything works. Adj pedals are a known problem. Don't be afraid to look under the car and in the engine bay. Anything that doesn't work should be reflected in the purchase price. See if the dealer will certify it, last thing you need is to turn on the A/C and find out the dealer charged it to make the sale and on the hottest day you are SOL. The dealer has taken the time to make it look shiny which is fine but you are looking for indicators of how the previous owner cared for it. Up your way raw aluminum will most likely be oxidized but that's not a serious concern unless you are looking for a show car. Like others posted listen for usual sounds. Take it for a looong test drive not just around the block. From the pics it looks pretty good. If you haggle you can get it for less $$. Good luck

    You are lucky I already bought one or I would be all over that! Haha

    It looks good and the price seems reasonable to me.
