<The problem with buying a car off of ebay is that you will probably have to travel to see the car after you have won it.You are not obligated to hand over the check if you are missled in any way,and what ever you do don't buy a car sight unseen and have it shipped to you.Another problem is finding a mustang that has not been ragged.Any used car you buy with more than 80k miles will need some repairs down the road.The previous owners got the trouble free 100K miles.Mustangs that have been well kept and maintained and not ragged(well maybe a little)lol, will cost you.They seem to hold their value quite nicely.I searched for over a year for a good deal on a 1995 Mustang GT 5.0 and actually found one on ebay of all places,a company named autoshowcase.I bid on it and lost though.I was pissed I figured I'd never find a deal like that again.Then two days later the same car was relisted on ebay with a buy now option.So I wasn't gonna fool around this time so I bought it with the buy now option.The car was in Dallas Tx. I'm in Biloxi, Ms. Autoshowcase picked me up at the airport and brought me to their showroom.Turns out the car needed new tires 17" the web site said it had good tires,the exhaust system needed work,the a/c didn't work,and the starter was dragging,but the car was so clean inside and out, engine tight and very clean.Only two owners on title check thru carfax.com.always run a carfax
So I negotiated the price and I drove it back to Mississippi. I've had to replace the clutch and transmission at 132K miles had 108K when I bought it.T-5's are junk anyway.I hope my experience with ebay helps you.A good place to check out is http://www.performancemustangs.com their in Houston Tx. they have quite a few mustangs to choose from, all 5.0L and they are good people.c-ya, 95/GT/5.0
