Good price for a well taken care of and non-abused Mustang. But fleet vehicles? Those are like used cop cars. Seriously abused because the drivers know that they aren't keeping 'em for long so they do some really dumb stuff to them.

I wouldn't even touch a fleet, rental, cop, or similar vehicle. Not unless it was a crazy deal like $7500 for that car. $12K can get you a traditionally owned one.

Agree about no TCS. Disagree about deluxe model. It was manufactured as a standard model (standard, deluxe, and premium levels for V6 in 2006). But according to the sales brochure the only difference between the standard and the deluxe was steel wheels compared to aluminum. So if you change the wheels, you could essentially change a standard to a deluxe.

I wouldn't buy it. The annoying sellers notes were enough to put me off. Why do used car dealers feel like they need to put such stupid comments in their ads?

"NOT YOUR TYPICAL RUN OF THE MILL COLOR, SUPER HOT COLOR SCHEME, LOOK AT THESE SUPER LOW MILES, LOW MILES, LOW PRICE, SHARP COLOR, ALL IN ONE, ALL SERVICED, CARFAXED AND CERTIFIED, WHEN THE ECONOMY`S UNSTEADY SAVE AT ROAD READY"

I like it when they include that you have things like a rear view mirror and seats, wipers, headlights, .... you know the stuff that really sets you apart from most other cars
