Thanks for the great advice on the car. I have not had time to clean the TB as of yet. I build high performance differentials and have been busy
The car needed tires pretty bad and I had the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 on my short list of tires to buy. I was at my local Ford dealer asking for a price quote on tires when I spotted a new set of take off GT wheels with Perelli tires on display. The wheels are the silver 5 spoke painted aluminum style. They made me a deal I could not refuse so I bought them.
I had them mount the new wheel/tires and do an alignment. I am not feeling the new wheels on the car as the wheels are nearly the same color of the car. I am going to have the Perelli tires mounted on the Billet wheels once I repair the bit of curb rash on a few of them.

Wondering what you gave for the car....a friend of mine has an '06 GT vert, triple black auto with about half the miles. He keeps asking me to see what they are selling for because he is thinking of getting out of the Mustang due to health reasons. PM me if you want privacy on it. Thanks.
The asking price on these cars are all over the map. Your friends car at a dealer could see a asking price of $20k. Depending on if he has a deluxe or premium pkg will also influence price. The car IMO should fetch $18k for the low miles.

I can see that too since his is a premium. In Nov. I picked up my 08 Gt premium vert (17,000 miles) for less than $18k (private) and he sees that and makes him wonder if his thoughts are to high. Once he really decides to sell, it will take a bit to move at the higher dollar but he has the time. Just hope he does not decide to trade it.....thanks.

I'm guessing you bought it private as dealers ask quite a bit more (at least here in Florida) for them. We bought private and $aved, we paid a bit less than you but the car needed tires and a service. Condition of the car was still great so I feel we got a great buy and have peace of mind knowing the service was done right
Good luck and enjoy
