Hi, everyone. I meant to do this before but I ended up just jumping right into the forums and asking questions, sorry about that. I'm Mike from Florida, and I recently bought a car I've always wanted-a 95 5.0 SN95. I love the car and it's beautiful inside and out, motor runs strong, etc. I kind of got ripped off though because I massively overpaid (they went to great lengths to hide things wrong with the car). Paid 4 grand for it, but I didn't realize that the odometer didn't work until I was on the road back home. Lo and behold, things started breaking immediately afterward-the throwout bearing now squeaks (just bought a stage 2 kit to replace it), had to replace the gas tank with a hole in it (didn't see all the rust under the car b/c they painted over it to hide it), A/C just started blowing warm (blew cold before, probably a quick charge to sell it), just replaced my window motor and regulator (worked when I bought the car), and I have an issue with fluctuating voltage in idle (likely the alternator/belt). Had to drop about 600 bucks on my rear end to have it repaired (they recommended a replacement which I'd love to have done if I had the extra grand), apparently the car had been hit in the back at some point and the flanges and crap were all bent and they had to torch and bang it all back into place. Saved me some cash though, just had that done and new brakes.
The body's completely straight, interior's in pretty good shape (a couple minor electrical issues such as dome light not turning on when I first open the door but coming on when I've turned the car on then off and open it to get out and a weird electrical noise over the back speaker when turning left). Clock pod doesn't work but I don't care about that too much.
I made the mistake of becoming infatuated with the car when I drove it and not finding the things wrong with it, but I've already put about 6 grand total into the car (including purchase price) so I'm pretty much in it for the long haul now.
