'84 SVO Mustang...thoughts or opinions...

[EdwardsSS]

...would be appreciated. In '88 I purchased a 1984 Mustang SVO, kept it few years...didn't drive it much and sold it back to the original owner with a little over 30 thousand miles. The original owner had it repainted, tuned up the motor, updated the interior with leather, and a better stereo, but hasn't put more than 500 miles (if that) on the car since I sold it to him six years ago. He wants me to buy it back now, as he is retiring and going to move next summer. The price is around eight grand. It's a nice car...but I don't know if I want to tie up the money because I won't be able to use that money on my other projects. The SVO is a great handling car, mid to high 20's in mpg, is not fast off the line but has a good top end. Anyone want to share their opinion(s) on the SVO and whether it's a good idea to purchase again? Manheimgold.com lists the car as valued in the six grand area.

Thanks, Ed
