Default 2007 GT Vert

I'm looking at purchasing a 2007 GT Convertible. The car has 54K on it and looks to be in great condition. Is there anything I should look for as far as problems with this year of Mustang? I'm new to the Mustang world, I've been a Pontiac owner for years so I do not know much about the Mustang. Thanks!

I test drove it, it drove fine to me. I have owned a couple of other convertibles before, never had a problem driving them.

I never had any issues on my 2006 convertible - handling was fine even after many hard launches at the drag strip. No twisting of the car at all. Never had a top leak or the SJB leak issue either.

There was something wrong with your car Rudolph if it was "dangerous to drive" and it wasn't because it was a convertible.

Check the vert top well. Look for cracks or small tears.(see any use this to lower price) Also convert it a few times, make sure it converts smoothly and tucks in nicely when down. When it's covered back up do the latchdown latches work smooth and tighten it down well.

Check the rear speakers work. Verts they are down low in the rear seats.

Thanks for all the input! Are there any engine or transmission issues that I should look for?
