Purchasing my first Mustang
Hello All,
Not sure if this is the right place for this or not, so please let me know if I am in the wrong area.
So for the last 4-5 years I have been drooling over the thought of being able to purchase my first Mustang. With this being said, I have finally come to a point in my life where I am going to begin the journey of getting a Mustang.
I really like the 07 body style, so this is the car I am entertaining buying. Now of course, I want a v8 and a manual tranny.
So I guess what I am really interested in, is feedback about this car? Any known major issues that are common in the vehicle, or any reason why I should do an 08, or an 06 vs. the 07? Figured the best place to find as much feedback as possible would be to join a forum and ask around.
Any feedback will be much appreciated, negative or positive.

A couple issues that come to mind is the water leak and front suspension noise. Mine has been making noise in the front suspension but I think I've found what's making the noise and I'm in the process of getting rid of it.
A good place to do some reading is...
Taco Bill's How To's, All TSBs, and other Tech Info
Both of the issues I've mentioned are included there.
Good luck!

05-09 has a great retro look, I love mine. I would shoot for a newer year but there were only minor changes between all the years. There was the dreaded water leak in the earlier years...just search for it. I have an 06 and no issues at all. If $ isn't a major concern the new 5.0, that power plant is awesome, look into it.

Like mentioned below, in the earlier models there was a water leak issue. Was this issue still common in the 09? Thats the tid bits of info I am searching for.
