how about the most money (or least) paid for a mustang?
single most expensive mod?
darkest tint?
largest wheels?
what else you got??
2008 with 45,XXX miles
I've only owned it for about a month and a half
So far i have had to reattach the TPMS on the left front ($50)
I have been fighting the water leak (TSB 08-26-7) tooth and nail.
it must not have rain where the previous owner lived. i haven't taken it to the stealership yet so $0

Bought my "09 drop top July 2, 2009. It was a used program car with 19,000 miles. Just turned 25,000 miles. 6,000 miles in a year, but it was in storage from Nov. to April. It's my summer time drive, so I'll be out cruzin'.

They suggested and filled the motor with the synthetic 5/50 oil they use in GT500's but I remained unsure. I called a local specialist while I was at the dealership but he wasn't available at that moment. He called me back a minute or so after I left the dealership and told me to go back and "Get that crap out of your motor ASAP" LOL
