So I'm military and I have orders to Spain. Need to take a car with me so I am allowed to ship one back when I return. I was going to finish up my project Mustang and then take it with be but at the earliest I'd be able to start it up in a few months and if something is wrong with it I'm kinda screwed, I leave in January. Wife wants a 4 door car to take with me anyway and I'm going to buy a "nicer" newer Euro spec vehicle when I get there. So thinking of getting into a CSVT again as a daily and roll. I get to take one car with me and the military pays to ship it. I will be going to southwest Spain so weather will never be super cold, never snows so no road salt/grime to worry about anymore.
Might go look at a car an hour from me that has 195k on it but owned by a Ford mechanic its entire life. New clutch, new brakes and very little rust and short shifter. Paint is good, its a 1998 Silver MNB car.
Guy claims it has almost no issues, sunroof motor is going out but still works (easy kill) but he is saying its sometimes weird to get into gear 2nd to 3rd and that it either needs the strut tower mod or the cables could be bad. Says you can powershift it at 6k and it does not grind so sounds like that very well could be it. But would have to see it... I think the guy is a member on here, he might see this post even. I have not seen the car yet in person but the pics look pretty good. Really considering this and then selling my Honda CRV that's about to fall apart and then parting out my Mustang.
Anyway, wanted to say hi again and what you guys thought and about what everyone thinks the car is worth. Again, its a 195k mile E0 Silver/MNB that looks to be in good shape in pictures with minor issues if the trans issue turns out to be the shift tower mod or a cable adjustment.
Thanks all.
