problemswith it so far (fixed under warranty)
- rear brake pads
- headlight relfector cap melting

just make sure you give it a very good once over, take it to a mechanic if in doubt and you will be fine

Actually it's in the console. I was in this situation last fall, I decided to go for the 07 over an 05 I found on the lot after a lot of thinking. Personally, I don't like buying the first model year of any new model. Granted, the Mustang was soooo engineered before it was released, there were few problems, I'm still leary about gremlins in the system. That, and when you buy a used GT from a dealers lot, you never know how hard it's been driven. This way, I know that if it breaks, it's my fault. I figure the majority of GT's out there are driven somewhat hard, just read on here....we all do it to an extent. But, for the most part, they can take it, they were built for a little abuse.

im going to buy a 2005 mustang gt premium torch red with 5k miles......its a 5speed-leather-17inch rims-flowmaster axlebacks......the guy originally wanted 25k but then he went down to 23,500 when i told him it was too much.....Book value appears to be about 22k for my area with those low miles....its in perfect condition.....2005 and 2006 are soo close to each other in price, do you think i should go for a 2006 or just save 2-3k and get a 2005? They are identical cars correct? Did the 2005 have any problems or recalls that i should check for?.....im offering him 22k, i think thats a fair price since its book value? Do you think i should get him down to 21,500 or is the 22k a good deal?
