Existing Modifications

When corresponding with the owner over the past week, I received some additional history on the vehicle from the time he has owned it.  He indicated all the non-original items on the car were added under his ownership.  In these exchanges, he provided a bit more detail on those changes and who handled the work.

The former owner, Derek, purchased the Mustang in November 2022.  He wasted no time in purchasing a Flowmaster exhaust which was installed on January 23, 2023.  He had that work done by a local Meineke shop which charged him $300.  There was then no other activity until about two years later.

On October 23, 2024 he had a large amount of work done at Dybala's Auto Repair & Custom.  The work that was done is detailed in the following excerpt from the invoice.  The work was done at 81,547 miles for a total of $4,047.90 of which $3,353.99 was labor.  


If I buy the car, I'll need to try to get more receipts from him.  He shared this list of items that he has done to the car in the 3.5 years he has owned it.  


With the exception of an aftermarket radio, I don't see anything else that has been done to the car beyond what is included on his list.  I asked if he kept any of the original parts and he stated that he did not.  The items he has done are more or less the type work that I would have done to the car with a few exceptions.  He has probably easily put $7,000 into the car considering the price of these items and the work done at Dybala's.
