Going to look at one tomorrow. Seller says there was a recall so the auto transmission was replaced not long ago. Any thoughts other than its not the biggest, baddest, fastest Mustang? Looking for a daily driver that is more fun than a Corolla :) 4.0 V6

I would check the blue book value and make sure you're not paying too much, and double check with Ford on the "recall".
There's a forum here specifically for 2005 - 2010 Mustangs, and I'm sure the guys over there would know the answer to that question as well.

Other than that, if you like the car get it! It'll definitely be more fun than a Corolla (was my first car). And, actually that year range (and the v6 at that) was the model I got for a rental once that really got m desire for a mustang stirred up again. Finally was able to get one in 2010 (2011 GT).

Welcome to the Forums, look around and enjoy the Car!

Let us know if you bought it!
 
Bought the Mustang! Seems in quite good shape. Verified the paperwork on the transmission replacement in June 2013 which was 25k miles ago. Price at 89k miles was $6700 which is below blue book from what I can see. Vin decoders show it as a two-door Deluxe Couple. For now I'm focusing on basics like oil change, transmission drain/refill ( auto tranny ) and getting more remotes and keys ( only one of each now ). Found remote on Amazon. Going to a locksmith today for the transponder keys.

The paint is D3 ( vin 1ZVFT80N365149975 ) which some call Torch red and some call Colorado red. Will be looking on Ebay for touch-up paint for a few tiny dings. Driver side marker reflector behind the left rear wheel is cracked.

The 4.0 V6 is similar to the engine in our 2000 Ranger but of course the mustang accelerates and handles much better.

This mustang is completely stock but still fun ( glad we didn't settle for the Corolla :) ) Getting some basic fluid changes etc done, then we'll be interested in most-bang-for-the-buck performance improvements to exhaust and intake. We probably won't get radical with that, like supercharger etc. Yet.
