I liked the rims on it as well. Any comments? Does anyone have carfax access as well? Thanks in advance!!

 

its alright, your not getting a great deal at that price, but if the car is what you want its not a terrible price.

 

That's about what I paid for my 05 auto with 6,000 miles on it....but you gotta factor in my trade in, different city, etc...fact is, if that's YOUR car and it's talkin' to you, that's not a bad price IMO, even though you might could find one a bit cheaper if you look harder.

 

what options?

IUP, active alarm, side air bags. If none of these you could get a new one for another $500 in Seattle with those options. That's for an automatic. Im wary of 05's with all the first model year issues.

 

Thanks. What type of problems did the 05 year models have in particular? I will try doing a search to find out also. What is IUP? I may try to pick up a new 06 from the dealer if the price is not going to be much different, I am assuming 2-3K +.

 

I paid less for my new 06 in Dec; 5-speed, leather, sport appearance group. (x-plan) If you really prefer an auto I don't think this is a good deal for you at all. Price is just ok at best and this is not your preference; ...keeping looking or order exactly what you want. IMO

 

I'd keep looking also. (Or pimp the guy to bring it down some.) I just bought my 06 with 5 spd new for about $25K. I've got the Shaker 500 and aluminum rims. That's it.

If you're going pre-owned try out http://www.cars.com A lot of dealers run internet specials you don't even have to work for. There was an 05 GT on my dealers lot with 14K miles, auto and leather and the sticker was $31K. On-line it was listed at $26K.

That in itself should tell you something after you re-read what I paid for my 06.

 

i think u can do better, it seems to me u could get a new 06 for close to that..

Ford did address a few issues with the 06 that were problems on the 05, nothing Major though....
good luck

 

IMO...if you really wanted a manual, don't buy an auto. That's a big deal, and something you might regret.

 

IMO...if you really wanted a manual, don't buy an auto.

I will echo this. Time is on your side (I know you want one now ) but don't regret a $25K purchase.
