Man, I HATE it when these dicks try to sell a car that way. buddy, you never got around painting it cause it either would have cost too much to do it properly or you are just supremely lazy also.. if lazy is a yes, then say hello to 20k oil changes and brakes that get done when your wheels turn rust color.

I bet his idea of "I have paint for it" is a rattle can from autozone .. forget it. keep your truck.

Where the supercharged replaces the big block and stricter emission laws threatening V8s are right around the corner. Just like Carter in 1972 and the Clean Air Act. Now it's 2011 and the Obama-kills-America Act.

Let's keep it on topic with crap V6 Mustangs though HAHA
agreed on both. keep your truck.

My 03 GT gets 24hwy...hell blown stangs running 370-400rwhp get avg 21-23hwy.

OP,I would keep the truck cause you cant haul crap in a stang plus he would be getting the better end of the deal. Sixers of that year in good shape go for 5-7k at dealerships.

I'm running 4.10 gears in my gt and I still get 24-25mpg hwy. I was very surprised lol. In city its not near as good, but it's kinda hard not to run a gear a little longer for the sound haha.
