Well, a good friend who works at a car dealership dropped a red 2003 Mach 1 off at the house today. He knows I'm going off to college and oviously wants to sell. (No harm in that). I know the Mach 1's are powerful cars and need respect, and I'll give 'em that.
I'm used to driving a Terminator Convertible. The Mach, however, feels WAY lighter, stiffer, and the turning feels excelent! I'm just having problems with smooth shifts because the clutch grabs a lot closer to the driver than the Cobra's. I only drov eit for about 20 minutes and fell in love with it. To me, it seems like it's in pretty good shape. He said he wanted somethinga round $18,000 for it with 24,000 miles. I'm pretty sure it's stock (Quiet exhaust, feels a tad slower than the Cobra) Gasoline will not be an issue in college seeing as I have a few "good" jobs lined up. If we purchase it, I would begin to mod the car (basic -- midpipe, catback, intake) after about a year of owning it (need to get the money saved up).
I just figured I would get some opinions on the car from people who have owned some Mach 1s and modded them as well. The car would be my DD in college also.
Below are a few pics!!!
It seems in great condition, but I also have a few other questions.
In the two pics below, it shows that on one date, the mileage is xx,xxx miles, and on the next update, the mileage seems rolled back. Any ideas on this one? :smmon:
Edit: SORRY FOR THE BIG PICS! I don't really know how to resize them.
