Tonight, after months of deliberation and weeks of negotiations, I went to my local Ford dealership and bought a new 2005 Mustang GT, my first.

Windveil Blue, IUP, bodyside mouldings (Canadian option as I understand it), leather and wheel locks.

I got a lot of great info from this forum that helped push me over the edge to buy this fantastic new car and wanted to say thanks to all the contributors.

I pick her up on Wednesday so only two more sleeps left before she comes home to papa.

Because of you folks, I know of the potential issues, and how to deal with them, with the first model year in this cool new style: the slow gas tank, the shaker skipping, the missing bolts rattle (did I miss any?). If mine exhibits any of these issues, I'll be able to recognize them and, if necessary, help my dealer help me get it corrected.

Keep up the posts. I will certainly add anything that I find out that may be useful.

 

Congratulations on the new pony! You will love it! And W/B is a great choice in color. Don't forget
