Nobody buys their first car alone.

As a listing this is about as honest as private-party ads get - he names the flaw, photographed it rather than hiding it, says what the top does, mentions the wear on the seat bolster and has receipts in a folder. The 3.7 V6 with the automatic is a durable combination if the oil has been changed, and he says it has been; the thing these are known for is the convertible top and the headliner, which he addresses head-on, so the remaining question is whether it checks out in person. Where I'd push back is the job: a rear-wheel-drive 300-horsepower convertible with two useless back seats is a lot of car for a brand new driver, and insurance on a Mustang for a sixteen-year-old is usually eye-watering - call your agent for a quote before you fall in love with it. On price, for a 74k-mile weekend-driven car with records it's not being given away, but the asking number is in line with what's actually being offered rather than a fantasy. If you want the fun car, this looks like a well-kept example; if you want a first car, I'd look at something with four doors and front-wheel drive.
