Where can you find a good condition '98 SVT for about $3000? I did a search of the most popular online car sale sites and the cheapest ones I found, in the $4000-$4500 range, all had 130,000-150,000 miles on them. I'd assume that a $3,000 SVT would have 150,000+ miles and be in need of some expensive maintenance. The lower mileage examples seemed to be selling for $6,000-$8,000.

The SVT is a great car and I probably would have bought one back in 2000 if the insurance wasn't as much or more than a '00 Mustang GT. But I don't think its going to be nearly the same car if you find a used one for $3,000.

I got mine for under $2500. It needs a $25 part in the tranny. It does have 125k miles, however it runs great. Fixing the few things wrong with it AND adding a few mods, it's still gonna be under $3k. Interior is good for the mileage, and exterior has some flaws, but nothing that will cost too much to fix.
I've heard of others getting SVTs that need trannies or engines for a lot less. Sure you gotta do a little work, but it's worth it.
You gotta do some searching, but you can get a good deal if you really want a svt.
My insurance is only $10 more a month, if that, for the SVT.
