    Where can i find 05 mustangs cheap ?

    LA can be tough to find a CLEAN, low-mileage car for a decent price. Most are trashed and/or high-mileage. It CAN be done, but the ones worth having go FAST, so you've got to be ready to move quickly. I lost out on several nice cars... they were gone before I could get there. But... you...

    What should I look for? What year to get?

    I, for one, was glad to find one withOUT the stuck-on hood & side scoops. Had them on my '01 GT 'vert... paint never matched, & they always trapped water when gettin a bath. I guess I like the cleaner look too. Go for the newest you can afford... especially the '07 & up with the MP3 jack in...

    General consensus- 19" or 20" on the GT?

    Everyone's got their own opinion on what looks right/correct for the S197 body style. As for me, I think this body style was totally made for 20s, & that a big, chunky body style needs a big, chunky wheel. Even with 20s, a 1" lowering may still be in order to get the right stance. As for the...

    20" Rims - Can I see them pls

    For straight-line driving, you probably won't notice a whole lot of difference. The ride will be more firm, but not objectionably so. Tire quality may be a portion of it, but air pressure is the BIGGEST part of it. Ride quality & handling are DEFINITELY affected. Hit some bumps on a curve &...

    Buying a 05-09 GT convertible

    I'm pretty happy with my '05. Relative to the '01 GT 'vert I had before, there are a few things I'm not crazy about, but they're fairly minor... First, am not crazy about the drive-by-wire throttle... feel too disconnected from the engine & usually over-rev on takeoff. Second, the use...

    Possible to find an 05GT for less the 17,000 next summer?

    bought my '05 GT 'vert a few months ago for $16k... 5 speed manual, 22k miles, Shaker1000, Saleen style bar, painted mirrors, 20" rims... not a ding or scratch anywhere... might've gotten it for less, but clean, low mileage cars go FAST in the L.A. area, & I didn't want to lose another one.

    Post Pics of Your Mustang

    my recently acquired '05 GT 'vert in Torch Red/black... 5-speed manual, Shaker1000 audio, 22,000 miles. Is mechanically stock... only mods are the wheels, the Saleen "style bar", and the color-matched mirrors. Not a single door ding or scratch... just a few small stone chips on the front...

    Deal or No Deal???

    yea, the wheels aren't everyone's taste, to be sure... but I've seen 'stangs with 20s that I really hated. At least these are a fairly clean style & I think the big, chunky wheels look good with this big, chunky body style. They were on the car when the previous owner bought it... think the...

    Deal or No Deal???

    Nope... no modding except for maybe some headlight splitters. I already have another toy that will lay waste to just about anything on the road...

    Deal or No Deal???

    Deal or No Deal??? (UPDATED) So hard to figure out if a deal is good or not these days... used car market is all over place, but clean, low mileage cars ARE somewhat hard to find. Here's the particulars: '05 GT 'vert... Torch red, black top, black leather interior, 5 speed manual...

    Ordered a 2010 GT500 Friday

    I'll take a 2k10 GT-500 'vert in Grabber Blue with the Colorado Red stripes... WICKED! Only problem is that I'd probably have to sell my 427 Roadster to afford it... bummer. :hail2:

    Terminator Questions...

    has 32k miles... priced to move at $16k. Knew about the driver's side head tick... didn't notice it when idling in the garage with the hood up. Had 20" Foose rims on it. Looked sharp, but not my first choice. 20s seemed a bit much, & definitely affected ride quality. But wheels could...

    Terminator Questions...

    looked at an '03 Terminator ('vert) today. A few things caught me off-guard, that I wanted to check on. 1. Was the stock/factory terminator hood fiberglass??? The hood/fender alignment was really off & the hood paint was terrible. 2. Is the rear end "clunk" a common issue when...
