Exclamation I need advice on this 1991 Mustang LX 5.0L

what do you guys think?
this guy is selling this 91 lx 5.0 for $2800, the car has 70k miles on it but the interior and exterior is horrible looking, no a/c or heat, the car needs a new air flow sensor with new battery cables, easy fix ups but they do cost money. the car is motor stock and only has a offroad h pipe but the car does need to get inspected which i will have to kick out money for. i was gonna trade him my 96 gt 4.6 with 163k miles, is inspected, masterflow exhaust and a k&n filter. the interior is perfect and the exterior is perfect, 3 things the ebrake doesnt work it just needs to be tighten and the rear left wheel loses air. and it doesnt have a spoiler.
The guy was like i will trade you but only if you throw up 500 with the 96. i said no thats stupid ill give 200 maybe. he said he will think about it. should i do it or no?

In two words: HELL NO! You could do alot better for 2800 bucks. I know it's a fox but you're going to trade your car that runs fine for a car that runs like crap and give him money? Doesn't seem logical, hold out and find something better or sell yours and buy something better.

Well I think you need to broaden your shopping horizons then and start looking around to see what's out there. Expand your search and you will find one. Just have SOME patience.

f-that noise bro he should give you some money i gave $5000 for my 90 lx. Not to brag cause theres always cleaner cars but mine has a flaw less paint job and interior and a fair amount of mods. Sell your car save your money buy that 5.0 you always wanted thats what i did dont settle for anything less. Even if you have to leave your state to pick it up. I think theres a picture of my car on there if you want to see what $5000 got me

You are right about it being hard to find a clean foxbody in Maryland. Everybody in this state wants a fortune for a ragged out terd. Keep looking I found mine 4 years ago on fordmustangtrader.com. I am the second owner and the car started life in south carolina and then ohio before I bought it.
