Mustang searchin'

I was out today looking for a Mustang. I plan to buy one in the next month or so. I found a used car lot that had by far the nicest one I had seen yet. It was a '93, leather, fully loaded. It had never been winter driven before and had 160,000 on it. One problem though. The price tag was $11,900 Canadian. Is it just me or is that price a little absurd? I mean, I could get one a couple years older for a good 6k cheaper. What do you all think about this thing? Is the dealer charging too much?

By the way, I plan on racing this car, dropping a new engine in and doing many other things to it once I get it so that is another thing to consider. Maybe it would be better to buy a cheaper one? I was considering buy a 4 cyl, but I'm not exactly sure on what I would need to change if I were to put a new engine in (It will most likely be a stroke 351W). I will be doing all the work myself, (except some things that require more than one person) so I'm wondering if it would be worthe it to buy the 4 cyl in the long run because I'm not sure what would need to be changed.

Sorry, this is a bit longer than I wanted it to be, but what I am basicly asking is for my purpouses (racing this car while keeping it street drivable in the summer), would it be best to buy a 4 cyl, a decent v8 for a good price or a really nice one like the one I mentioned above for a fairly large sum of money? Thanks in advance for the good advice :)

i would definitly not buy a car with that many miles on it. look in your autotrader or autotrader.com for a good deal.

I believe that's a 160,000 kilometers, not miles. so it would be just under 100k miles.

Yes, it is in kilometers. It isn't high but it isn't that great either.

That seems high... that price is what I see low mile like under 30,000 93 loaded GT verts and any mile nice shape 93 Cobra's go for at dealers. As far as a 4cylinder in the end it is not worth it if your gonna keep in a street car. If you go all out racing where most things will be replaced a 4cyl makes more sense. You should be able to find nice shaped high mileage 89-93 GT's for $3-5,000 american and that is what you should be looking for.

Hey isn't $11,900 like about 3K American anyway?LOL
