Out with the 05 Vert and in with the shiny 07

Well I decided that enough was enough, had to get rid of the nice 8 month old 05 Convertible today, too many small problems showing up and since I already had it in the shop for close to 45 days already....enough was enough. So I decided to trade it in for a nice 07 Redfire Metallic V6 Coupe. Now time to start with all the mods and fun..... Although I am going to miss the uniqness of the Legend Lime.....Red is BETTER!!!!

Sorry you had so many problems. Just the bad luck of the draw I guess. I have had very few problems with my '05 GT Vert.

Congrats on the new stang. As you can tell, I am partial to Redfire myself.

Oh, and you should fix your profile info to change 2005 to 2007.

What sort of problems did you have with your '05?

Being the owner of an '05 Vert I am curious!

A LOT of the early 05's had issues. Exactly the same reason my 05 is now an 07. Oh, and Red(fire) Rules!! Mine was not a vert. But, Throttlebody problems, rattles everywhere, & shaker prob's, all convinced me I needed to fine tune my choice. Figured maybe I just had a lemon at first. But I truly loved the fit of the new S-197, so I new I would buy another. Besides, there is still nothing out there that can compare to the Mustang!

Hey Norm, Congrats on the new car!!! I almost did the same with my 06, not because of issues, just because I wanted a coupe. Didn't fly with the wife though. So, I'm just modding more.
By the way, since I saw you last was in the hospital a few weeks, now I'm doing grrrreat!!!
Hope to see ya soon. Fall car show coming up in Oct.
Steve
