Need Car Lot Reference From Some Houston Owners

[Dano]

I've located what seems to be a good '98 GT-Vert at "Performance Mustang," in Houston. It's located just North of the downtown area alongside I-45, about 2 miles or so North of I-10.

Does anyone know how far I can trust these people? I talked to the owner, and they deal with a lot of Mustangs. It's a long drive from San Antonio, so if anyone can help me out, an old '95 Cobra owner would really be grateful (like, "lunch on me"). :dancenana:

Dano :beer:

I would have no problem checking it out for you. I can log it for you and send a spread sheet. I know they have had a lot of badass looking Mustangs in the past.

A GT Dano? Say it aint so...

Well, what can I say. The situation may not be permanent (forever), but I have a 6500 check that;s burning a hole in my pocket.:shrug:

I stopped by there quite a few times when I lived in Houston. They seemed like pretty decent people to me and looked to do good work on the cars they had there.

Is it the red on tan vert you're looking at? Looks like a nice car. No Cobra though this go around, Dano?

DANGER Will Robinson, DANGER!!!! Stay away, stay far far away! Doom and gloom awaits!! From what I understand, you don't want to trust those folks as far as you could throw Rosie 'O Donnell. Also, they sold a friend of mine a mustang that the subframe was inches away from falling apart on a "Blue" title..

I talked to them before I bought my 98 cobra locally in Beaumont and I had a bad feeling about them....then about a week after I bought mine, while talking to firends, I heard plenty of horror stories....but it was all 'Yea my friend got one and got screwed' but no one had actually dealt with them so I hate to say they are crooked....I'd take up TX_Diablous's offer of checking them and the car out....he may get a good read on them....

 

[kingcato]

never heard of them so i would not trust them, i know of all the good places for mustangs and that is prolly not one

 

[ksigatmsu7f02]

man I can't type the word friends for nothing...I type firends every time....sounds like I sent them to a bad Mexican food restaurant or something.....

 

[Dano]

Thanks to everyone for their input. Michael is going to go by and look at it. The owner told me he'd been there for a long time - they do a lot of custom work and repairs, also.

Thanks. :dancenana:


BTW, yes, it's the red vert with saddle interior.

Nice!!! 1995 Mustang SVT COBRA
I'll bet he will take less than 6700
Not sure if this is still there but worth a call
98 Mustang Cobra
Don't get a gt Dano you deserve more than that.
Good luck craigslist is a decent place to look not everyone is a scammer hell I saw more scamming on autotrader when I was looking. Good luck

 

[Dano]

I sent an E-Mail to the '95. Is he in Colorado or Texas?


Yes .. I use Craigslist a lot. I drove 50 miles today to look at a '01 GT vert, and it was pretty much "a mess." Had Mexico plates on it - the owner said the plates were off his truck, cause the "cardboard" plate from the dealer had expired.

 

[brucesvt]

get the 98 cobra Dano. keep us posted once you find what your looking for. g/l

 

[uofipilot]

Dano, take a look in the FS section here. I imagine you probably already have, but I'd like to think that most of the sellers on here are fairly decent. A sn cobra shouldn't be all that much more than 7500.

On second though, the CEL went on in my cobra when I was driving it home after buying it from a member from the market on this site.....lol.

 

[Dano]

I'll post it up, after I find something.

Yes, I looked through about 20 pages in the FS Section. Most all of the prices were too high for me. I'm sure they were great Cobras, but just out of my range ... that's why I was looking at some GTs.:rolling:

I'm already looking for some place to park it. We have an 08 Taurus,, and a pool table in our garage. There are three vacant (for sale) houses on my street, and a elderly widow across the street, that have empty garages. I'm offering them a little money to let me park the new car in their garage. One of the houses is next door to mine (housing sale slump).:dancenana:

I hope something happens this week ... I was looking at this last week, and my wife went nuts! I'm buying a vehicle so I can get out and look for a job, but I don't know for sure that I want to be sitting out in the weather. I'd have to buy a lot of crap - all I have at this point is a license! I've had four other bikes, since '64, but my last one was way back in '73. I don't know if this 66 year old body could stand the wear and tear, and possible spills ... :banana:

'08 Triumph Bonneville - 300 miles

 

[Shangsta]

Yeah i to have heard the "my friends" stories about that place. I'll try and swing by there this week as its not too far from me

 

[Dano]

Thanks, Anthony, but Tx_Diablous (Michael) is going by there this afternoon, and read the codes on it, and check it over.

I appreciate the offer.:rockon::beer::rockon:

 

[Shangsta]

Hope it works out for ya Dano, you need to get back into a stang
