I am in the process of buying a 2005-2009 Mustang and I have been cruising the forums for info and this appears to be the best one. I hope to purchase said Mustang in January/February.

The last RWD cars I have had were a 1973 Corvette and 1972 Camaro - Time to change it up as we switched to Ford after purchasing our, then new, 2006 F-150.

Thanks for having me

 

Welcome! Not sure where you live, but I'd give this beauty a look. Has a LOT done to it too...

From my recent experience be careful where you buy from. I recently purchased a pre-owned 2007 GT via a large Vancouver, B.C. dealership's interent viewings. What the internet view does not show you is any damage that needs to be repaired nor can you see any motor damage. When the vehicle was delivered it started fine. The next day it wouldn't and required a new starter motor and battery. The air box filter was dirty and there was a 2 inch pile of leaves at the bottom of the air box. It is best to go to a dealer and have them open the hood so you can check the vehicle over. Take it for a test drive, look over their mechanical inspection report and finally look for any exterior damage.

In my case after I put the dealership's feet to the fire I got back $528.00 which was the cost of the battery and starter motor repair. I recently shelled out $190.00 to have Dent King pull out two minor dings. The GT looks great now.

I am just telling you this so that you do not fall into the same pit of dealership dispair. Attached pic shows you some of the exterior defects.

There is a lot to be said for buying a brand new vehicle at least it does not come with defects. The internet price for the pre-owned 2007 GT was pretty good but the internet pictures as taken by the dealership did not show the damage.

The GT has since been reburbished and runs well.

 

Welcome!
Glad you made the switch! looking forward to hearing about the car when you get it, and seeing some pics!

 

poldvr: I am sorry to hear about your experience. Caveat Emptor indeed. I always buy in person, new or used, my OCD would not allow me to do it any other way

UnkTob: Thanks! It was easy leaving GM after the Bail Out circus. I had been a Chevy guy for over 30 years. The wife loves the F-150 and it has been pretty trouble-free for ~120,000 miles. Still going strong.
I am looking forward to getting it and showing/talking about it here.

Merry Christmas!

 

Welcome. good luck with your search.

 

Welcome!

 

It's official now. I found an all original 2006 GT Deluxe with the 5spd MT! Just what I was looking for and only 40 miles from my home. It is extremely clean and was pampered by a Forensics officer and I am the 2nd owner.
Awesome!

Pics are in my album.

 

Welcome and congrats!!!

 

Looks fantastic! Welcome to the club

It's a very nice car!
I can't wait until the weather gets better here in Oregon.
