Thumbs down

Today while I was at my local Ford dealer getting 99 Mustang oil Change

the dealership got a troch red V6 Mustang auto. in from auction use be a rental car for Budget from FL. it has 14500 miles on it the dealership pay $17,865.00 is on back window but the dealership is sale it for $23,000.00 :shock: :nono: this 05 Mustang has no power seat and cheap radio in it, I don't think the dealer will sale for that price people won't go for it.


So watch out for used 05 Mustang rentals on car lots you could pay more then you shouldn't do.

im surprised the rental fleet let it go, they usually hold on to cars until the warranty is almost up.

Must be getting real tight with any 05 Mustang! Hope Ford can do something about this and give all of you, the car you most deserve!
Happy Trails!!! B)

There is a brand new V6 for sale at a dealer in the Seattle area (Millenium Ford in Burien). They've added aftermarket rims (18"), and had stripes painted on, with clear overtop. There is no ridge at all between the stripe and the base white, its really smooth. I grabbed a couple pictures of it. They also had 1 TR and 1 MG Premium GT's both without IUP, with $6K markups.

Here's the V6

One of the dealers by my house is buying up V6 verts from other dealers since they are having a hard time getting them.

I wonder why Ford didn't paint black on the parts behind the grill, they do that with the Freestar too, looks bad. :notnice:

All rental Mustangs have door side molding on the doors, why?

Nah, the wife and I bought an '04 Explorer last year with less than 4,500 miles on it. It was a rental out of Florida. I wouldn't buy a fleet car that was beat on for a year. But I felt pretty good with the low miles and the 32,000 miles left on the warranty.
It's got 18,000 miles on it now and no troubles so far.
