Default 05+ Paint question

Ok so my brother is looking at a 06' saleen with 475HP upgrade, 36k mi, for $23.5 which I think is a great deal but I'm skeptical of black paint! I have an 01' GT with black paint and I can't stand it, everything seems to make scratches and swirls that make the paint look like dog ****. Is the paint on the 05+ of any higher quality?

The paint quality is terrible with most fords...including stangs...I have a black 07 gt, I wax and clay bar frequently and the paint still looks pretty good, apart from some slight chips and swirls here and there

It seems like it's hit or miss with some cars and the paint corrosion

Depends judging by what you said about the pics the paint probably already has swirl marks and isn't that great
