Well the bank just got approval for my loan. So I will be picking up this Mustang either today or tomorrow. I'm stoked

Will do, it needs a wash. And then after that I'm going to do some paint correcting. I'll get some before and after pics

Oh and I did have a question for you guys. Since the Mustang doesn't have a dipstick and I can't check the fluid I was wondering about how long is it supposed to go before a trans fluid change? Just so I know if it is coming around to needing a change or not

The 05's and '06's were the most notorious for having some of the issues listed in the LONG list of TSB's for this model. The 07's weren't too much better and the issues were pretty much resolved by the 08's. If you do buy that '06, then be VERY familiar with the TSB's so when something seems amiss, you'll know where to go to fix it.

Thanks Nuke that helps out a lot. By the looks of the Carfax the owner never went through any of that stuff at least it looks like. Maybe this is just one of those cars that didn't have any issues. But I will make sure to remember that just in case

Congrats on the purchase. I would get them to change the plugs. They are the two peice plugs and are known to break off in the head. At 90k you are very close to the mileage where they need to be changed.

Can't give you any advice because my stang was practically brand new when I found her at 17K miles, but good luck man! I remember that exact feeling when I signed the title my name on that title.. damn that was awesome. Enjoy.
