Trust me, I shopped for 6 plus months before buying my 2006 pony package leather, shaker 500, ford racing axle back exhaust, s&b cold are intake, and only 19,946 miles last week. I payed 15,500 for it and where I live I got a great deal. Its in perfect condition and is a carfax one owner no accidents etc... I bought it through a smaller used car store that sells around 50 cars a month. I also found a similar one with all the same options except it had a manual transmission and 35K miles. They wanted 17,500! My point is shop around and definitely don't buy before driving a couple more. I drove four before buying and they all drove differently. I would also recommend buying the unlimited car fax reports for 30 days on carfax.com. I did that so that I could rule out all the cars that had been in accidents. As for dbirdrm's example either that vehicle has been in an accident, has a savage title, isn't in very good condition or he bought it from somone who had no idea what their car was worth. Also if a dealer trys to sell you a warranty know that they are making a lot of money off of it. Dealers pay about 50% of what they sell the warrantys for. Its great that your buying a mustang and I know you'll really like it. Good luck and sorry for the long post.

The new market is not cold, if you pay attention and are patient you can get ridiculous deals, i got over 7,000 in rebates directly from Ford last summer/fall towards a new mustang. I got a late model year 08 w/ 5 miles on it cheaper than an 07 w/ same options and 22,000 miles. and i got to choose between 4 different ones. If your patient, you will find what your looking for and for the right price.
No I'm not talking about military or obscure hard to get rebates either.
