I am going to look at a black 03 mach I with 489 actual miles on it. this car is at a dealership and they are holding it for me until i look at it. I am not new to the mustang world, just Mach I's. they are asking 21,100.00 for it. I would like to know if this is a fair price and what i should look for in the car when i go. it is suppose to be in showroom condition. any help would be appreciated.

Get it. Thing's to look for, that I wish I looked for when buying mine. Head ticking - Creaking in the front steering rack (theres a TSB for it) - the shaker rattle - and make sure the T3650 Is in good shifting order.
But that's a damn good price. Make sure the dealer didn't Jack the IUP out of it:coolman:

Can someone please inform me about these small issues i keep hearing about the 3650's? What is wrong with them and did ford issue some sort of recall, or any sort of fix for that matter?
3650 seems to either be a hit or miss. Same 5 speed thats in the late 01-04 gts. Some hold up really well for folks and some dont. The one in my GT had to be rebuilt and the one in the mach started to go so i swapped in a t56 instead. more info on M1R.
So did Ford do something about them? Any recall of any sorts?
Get it! That is a great deal. I paid $22k for mine with 29,000 miles on it.
No doubt that i would enjoy the car, i just have to wait till summer time to see my situation, but rite now im just gethering as much info as i can. I just want to know a few things about these cars. Is there anything specific that should be paid attention to while going thru the gears?

thats a sweet deal... do it now!!! make sure you test drive it for a while... street and freeeway.... take your time... i got rushed when i went in for my car...took me on a 1 mile drive that was it
try kbb and see what the resale is for it... some dealerships go by that
yeah my stock trans, after i got it, kept grinding into third... no warranty or anything... got a t56 ready to be put in

if its at a dealer they paid 17 or 18 for the car. the dealers will make more money on a used car sale than a new car sale. make sure you get a car fax, i am curious why its just sat around? car accident and they took thier time to repair it?
this is a good price but i still say work them down. i would start at 21k otd. remember the mach 1 was selling for 22k brand new a few years ago.;-)

The TSb on the trans is "supposed" to fix it. Mine has been re done 2x 1st time 7500mi 2nd time 28K miles. Currently 37K and so far so good this time.
Issues are 1-2 grind (worse when cold) and 3rd lockout.
head tick is another but some get some dont. So far so good on that 1.
There are a few other "minor" things that have been known to crop up. However overall these cars are a good performance/fun factor car for the $.
499 mi 21K full warranty I imagine Id go for it.
