Did they even make purple GTs?...........(that's one).
The "loose bearing" is probably the rear end going out.........(two).
Just my personal preference but I hate tinted windows and the wheels would have to go......(three, four).
Like the hood scoop but hate the 4.6 insignia.....(five).
Moved the spoiler back?......Why?.......(That's definately six)
..........Good thing is they already replaced the all plastic intake manifold.....
..........Bad thing is it looks like a Dorman replacement part (the Ford updated intake is much better)......(seven).
.........And I think the price is way too high (especially for the Chicago area).
..........But if you just had to have this car, I wouldn't give a penny over 5K for it............

).I had an 07 Sonata for 4 years/170K miles and the only time the wrenches came out were for maintenance.........With this old Mustang, they came out from day one and I still haven't put them away............
.........Just know what your getting AND what you're giving up.

That's actually a decent little car and not too many miles if taken care of (but yeah, it ain't no Mustang GT......).

this is my second car lol, I plan on making this my project car and boosting it eventually. I have a 2009 GTI as well, but I'm keeping that stock for warranty purposes.

Had the car checked out at a local midas, a ford dealer, and a friend mechanic. Everything checked out, the bad bearing was a wheel bearing (easy cheap fix) and the carfax came back solid. Regularly serviced and oil changed every 3k miles.
