Is this a good buy or should I keep looking?

I'm not in a big hurry for a car, the car i've got is a decent one but it's getting up there in the mileage. I was driving by and saw this REALLY nice 99' Blue Mustang yesterday, looked at it up close and it's very nice.

I am going to test drive it today but I'm not sure that I will get it.

99' Mustang 3.8L 2dr coupe - Blue - 150,000 - $4,995

They'll take my car:

01' Grand Am 4cyl - 4dr - 174,000 - $1,500 (trade-in)

Should I get it if it rides nice?? Is the price decent? About $3500 and it'll be paid w/in 2yrs with payments around $240.

Let me get this straight, you're thinking about trading a vehicle with 174,000 miles on it for a vehicle with 150,000 miles on it plus adding a car payment? Not a wise move IMO.

I was never a fan of the non-GT Mustangs personally and the automatic transmissions are not very good in those cars.

BTW-You don't say I seen, it should be I saw.
 
Yea...I just drove it, a mustang isn't really my thing anyway.

guess i'll stick w/ my Grand-Am, surely its got another year or so in it. ^_^

Thanks guy!

Jules...I fixed my grammar. ^_^

on the surface it is a mustang. all things being close to equal id much rather drive a stang than a grand am.
but too mile-ish all around.
keep what ya got and borrow more when u need to.
 
No way in hell, bad deal. Why trade in your car that you KNOW the mechanical history on, to take a car payment on a vehicle you know nothing about, but has 24k less miles?
 
Don't get a loan on a car that isn't guaranteed to outlast the length of the loan.

I would highly suggest you pass this up and keep driving your car until you have significantly more cash to spend on a car.
