    :)
    Im now looking at a 09 GT Convertible Premium. Has the Comfort Pack with it. Can get it for 22thousand which is around 34grand i think USA money.
    Have a look
    http://www.americancarcentre.com/american/cardetail.asp?catId=380
    A few questions for the owners of the GT Premium.
    Does it come with the 45years anniversary badge? and does that make the car more collectable then other years?
    Any good websites or newsgroups about the GT?
    The CD Changer, says it plays MP3, is this just CDR or also CDRWs?
    The AUX output, is that a 3.5 inch jack, and if so is it possible to plug a IPhone into as like you would do with a set of headphones?
    And whats the point of having a compass on the rear view mirror?
    Last question
    Any good driving aids for the car? as i will be driving a Lefty over here where the roads are built for a Righty?
    Please if you have the GT HELP

    That sounds high, but I don't know where you're located, and location can be a price driver, but I'll take a guess you're in the UK. FYI, I bought my '07 GT Premium (coupe) last summer with 7,200 miles, and paid $22K USD.
    CD changer will most likely only play CDR. I haven't tried CDRW in the Mustang, but my '05 Excursion wouldn't play 'em.
    I play my iPod using the 3.5mm jack, so I guess the iPhone will work similar.
    The compass in mirror? That's so you can see which way you're heading while you watch where you've been. I would preferred an outside temperature readout in that spot.
    I can't answer your other questions.

    Thanks for the reply.
    It seems after speaking to the dealer today, its not done 29thousand, but only 2900, not even 3 thousand. Yes the cars are dearer in the UK, i was looking at shipping one over when i was in Vegas over Xmas, but it was not worth the hassle, and it would have ended up costing me more and if anything goes wrong cant take it back to the USA :-(
    This one is the 45 Anniversary and with only 3thousand miles on the clock for £22,500UK. its not a bad price, will even have the radio converted and as you say the 3.5 jack will play the IPhone. Also am getting back £6thousand back on my Crossfire a thousand more then the list price.
    I think 22 in the $ is around 31k and have the perfect car i wanted
    Red, Auto, 45th Anniversary and Convertible and amazing low mileage, cant really go wrong

    Looks like its in Mint Condition. Enjoy. And you get the Anniversary Badge. I had both a
    99 and 04 Anniversary Badge..... doesnt really add any value to the car, but its fun to watch
    people at stop lights look at the Badge and wonder what it means.

    yep she is a beauty :)
    And its funny where people used to say nother about the Crossfire, with the Mustang i get WOW, everyone wants to see her, my street cred has shot up!
    as you can see we are having great weather in London UK.
    Managed to crawl home last night in the driving snow preying no one would skid into me and down the roads with cars parked both sides i crawled down them. So i now think i have passed my worry about driving a lefty at night.
    Its a stunning motor to drive, and the lovely grumble of the V8 is a lovely sound.
    Not to bad on the petrol, the Crossfire was around 22 around town, Mustang is 20, but really when you have a car like that you just want to get in and drive her.
    He also done for me as a freebie the radio conversion as the USA stations are different to the UK stations.

    Now that sounds like a challenge to experience......
    Driving on the wrong side of the road, in deep snow, at night, in a rear wheel drive 5.0 .
