shopping for a 2004 gt conv. tips please

im looking in to getting a 04 gt convertible soon and was wondering if there should be anything that i should watch out for when it comes to 2004 mustang convertibles. this will be my first mustang and i may not know what to look for
any heads up would be very helpful.
im going to go look at one this weekend it as the 40th special edition package with Arizona beige strips with 62,000 miles on the clock with a 5 speed stick.

well the on im looking at has the lowest mileage with traction control do to the fact ill be driving it year round here in michigan for at least the first year or so
that and its the only special edition 40th annv that ive found with in 150 miles of my town i was just looking for any info about common problems that tend to show up after all the car is 7 years old
whats the chances of the top leaking etc... stuff like that
 
If the top looks like it's in good condition with no rips/tears/holes and the weather stripping along its sides and the A-pillars is still in good condition, it shouldn't leak. Just make sure it seats well with the windows/latches.
 
Have a good mechanic check it out. The condition of the top, tires, brakes, clutch, body etc. may affect the price. Plus a Carfax check is important.

I got my 04 last year with 16k miles. All I've done is to replace the gas filter and oil changes. I did drop 3k in performance and visual mods...very addictive!

thats one of the things im going to get and a hurst shifter
and the one thing it might need right off is new exhaust from the cats back anyone have any ideas on exhaust would be great!:shrug:

Depends how loud you want i got magna packs and they sound amazing, but are very loud when you break them in. You should go to You tube and watch some exhaust clips, that's how i choose mine.
