SCT is the brand of handheld tuner. That platform is used by most shops as well as AM and Brenspeed.

I am under the assumption the item with the SCT on it is a handheld tuner, which means the Mustang most likely has a tune! The question is, is it a custom tune or canned tune, which makes a difference in performance.
FYI, I have the SCT Xcal3 tuner with 3 Brenspeed custom tunes.
It's definitely worth a look!

Here's some food for thought. I really enjoyed driving my 2010 Mustang GT Premium that stickered @ $35,000 new to my new 2014 Mustang GT 5.0 Premium that stickered @ $42,700. The 2010 was more comfortable even though it didn't have near the options the new one has. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the power and extra enhancements of technology the new one has but if I had known then what I know now, I would have kept the 2010 and saved my money. My 2010 is sitting on the dealer lot with a $25,900 price tag on it and 24,000 miles. It's as clean as new. If you are going to buy a premium car, there will likely be a premium price. You get what you pay for. By the way, I don't race at the track or on the street so that 1-1.5 second quicker 1/4 mile doesn't do me much good.

this guy speaks the truth. when i bought my 10 gt i actually test drove an 11 5.0 right before the 10 gt. and guess which one i still picked? the 10 gt. from a performance standpoint yes the 5.0 is quicker, but unless your flooring it 60+ you really don't get to FEEL the difference between the two cars. but for just a fun daily driver there is no reason not to get the 10 if the price is right.

also i think you said this was a repo, most of the time the asking price is what the financial institution would like to get back on the vehicle. many do a blind auction and take bids, highest bidder wins. if your willing to pay the asking price you can drive off the lot immediately with the car. but if your willing to wait and risk the bids you can snag a good deal if you play your cards right. the key is to be reasonable, just because you won the blind auction doesn't mean the institution has to sell you the car.

AMD is right, the 2010 is a good sound car. I've not had it in for anything, just the occasional oil change. I personally prefer the 4.6 old school and 5 speed, and realize the newer ones are faster, but it is fast enough for me...at least I've never wanted to go faster. I have the 19" wheels and 3.73 gear.

Mine just turned 15,000 miles and it looks better than the day I drove it off the lot.

If it is a repo I'd be concerned about what sort of maintenance HADN'T been done.

I have also considered that since the 2010 is the only year in that body style/engine combination, perhaps it might be a collector some day. Add to that it's a recession car sold in lower numbers.
