Considering 2004 Mdl

[seedsntrees]

Hello,

Is there anything I should pay special attention before I purchase a 2004 mdl with 45K miles?

Thanks,

Re: Considering 2004 Mdl

I don't have a clue to what a Mdl is, I'm assuming it's a abreviation for a particular color paint like MSB or MSG etc. My first consern would be the price. I'm sure availabilty is a big factor in HI. since it's probably quit expensive to ship a car there from the mainland. An 04 might be a rare Bird in HI. Leroy

How about mdl = model.

Mark,
If you're looking at one on the Islands, the 'bird does have some metal panels - the doors and rear quarters, not to mention what's underneath. so check for any signs of sand/dirt underneath that may have accumulated and wasn't taken care of and the amount of rust that might be forming. Otherwise, drive it and see if the engine is "missing", ie, not running well going up hills or under power. That would probably be a sign of c.o.p.s (coils on plugs)going out or out. Car is under warranty to get that fixed.

reguardless of what some people here think....it is after all just a car....buy it like you would any car ,drive it ,have it inspected by a mechanic,have it checked to see if it throwing any codes,put it on a lift look close underneath...you can most likely find signs of damage,rust,repair etc,if you look hard.....and if it all checks out and its a fair price....buy it ....you will love it like we all do....good luck

Thanks for the reply.

The vehicle is a 2004 T'bird with the hardtop, 45K miles asking price is $19K.

The vehicle is in Wisconsin and that is where I live. Only my job has me in Hawaii.

Thanks again.

Is that the one at the Fondy dealership that someone else inquired about?

Sounds like a good price to me, would that include delivery to Hawaii?

Re: Considering 2004 Mdl

If the car has no warranty don't pay 19K for it. There are some good deals out there for low mileage TBirds that you can get a warranty on. Leroy
