Default Is this a good deal?

Hey guys I am looking for a Mustang and found this one.

35th Anniversary Special Edition GT Mustang 1999
I am a little skeptical because the car BB's for $9500 and he said he would take $5400. He also said his mom got it from a ford dealer then upon further questioning he said that his parents owned the ford dealership. He also states in the add he got it two years ago but he told me via email he had it for three and a half years. I asked him why he's selling it and he says he has too many vehicles. I'm just not sure. I always heard if its too good to be true its probably BS and this just seems like there is something up. I asked for more pictures of the interior and he said the car was in storage. It just doesn't all add up and want some other opinions.

And yes I wasn't planning on buying the car with out having a look but he's not close to me so I don't even want to waste my time going there if its not worth it. Thanks

I would go look at it. Could be good , could be bad.. you'll never know unless you go look at it... and if you don't you might regret it ?

I'm thinking that's the wrong color for a 35th Anny, their red was much more orange, but maybe it's the photo.



I think it has the wrong spoiler as well.

They made "official" 35th anny cars , they only came in white, red, and silver (I think that was all) the rest had 35 anny badges and stuff but were not "35th anny " cars.

This link may help:

ive always avoided people who cant get their story straight even more so when im buying cars. hell if the seller is gonna lie about little things like how long hes had the car then what else will he lie about? just my opinion

I don't think 5400 is too good to be true, it's right in line with the price of that year (I've seen many nice ones lower).

the story switching, in storage can't get pics part sounds like a craigslist nigerian scam to me however, if you are interested look at it in person, don't send any deposit!!!
