Hi, Im new to this forum posting since I visit daily the forum. Other than that well Im thinking on purchasing a 05 GT car has almost 10k miles and well, the car has the engine lights on.

Is there a way to retrieve the codes without a tuner. I ask since my bro has a supra and he can retrieve the codes doing some procedure with cables and the light will blink and you can take the code problem of it. Do the GT can be done the same thing.

Reason of buying the car use is that GT is leather and al is 22k and new is like 37k and my budget actually cant fit that.

I will gladly appreciate your help

Thanks
Jose

 

Take it to one of your local auto parts stores. Advance, Auto Zone. They run your codes for free.

Is it a plain GT coupe? Those aren't anywhere near 37k new unless you live in a place other then the US.

 

??? If it has 10k miles on it then the warranty still is good.... have the owner take it to the dealer and get it fixed

 

Yeah thats why im from Puerto Rico. and the tax here for that specific car pays $6k when is brought in.

I thought on making the purchase in US and bring it here but still have to pay de car+ the car tax 6k. PITA

 

I guess that would the option on purchase since I cant take the car to a dealer and check what its the problem.

Thanks for your help and orientation guys.

Hopefully if I can purchase the car well ill post some pics

 

I tried to get Auttozone, Advance Auto, and my next door neighbor's box to read my codes and they all would not work.
Only OBD III boxes will read 2005+ Mustangs. My parts store had some sort of Actron orange thing that was useless (said "link fail").
