Ordered my 05 GT in June 2004, she was built 3rd week of September 2004 and I took delivery of her October 22, 2004. 361,000 miles on her now. Engine had to be rebuilt around 150,000 and a new rear end put in way before then, but everything else still going. Would not trade her for all the money in the world. And I was (unfortunately) everyone's guinea pig for working out the links on the new design.

Bought my 2009 Pony new on 2-22-09, exactly 7 months after it was built. At 135k now and no plans to ever sell it.
I have road tripped in it through all 48 states, with my longest road trip being 10,000 miles.

I'm still here!

Bought my Pony new 8-13-2005. She's now over 15 years old. 124,000 miles and still going strong!!!

Replaced struts, ball joints, tie rod ends, all bushings, hoses, water pump, alternator (with 2010), battery and cables, and getting ready to do the clutch and brake lines.

100% stone reliable and the best car/companion ever!

Ordered mine Dec 24 2004. After multiple screw-ups and fighting with the dealer who now wanted to charge 6K more because the car was becoming high in demand I finally took delivery in June 2005. Just hit 65K.
