I had the same issue with my Stang. Took it to Advance and had them run the code with a print out. Ended up though being fuel filter was bad, replaced it and have not had any problems since.

Ok, got some good news and bad news...

Good News: The dealership has agreed to pick the car up tomorrow and it will be out of my life for good!

Better News: I really like the 03 GT I found! Car seems to check out, but to be on the safe side I am taking it to have a multi-point inspection. There are pics below. One small thing, car does look like it has had some front end repair, notice the close up pic. If it turns out to be minor, ex. small fender bender, i'll prob still get it. The inspection place is going to check for frame damage, so if it's big, I won't get it.

Bad News: Since the dealership had already titled the old one in my name, I have to pay the $1,000 ttnl!!! [>:] However, the dealer will provide me with a recipt showing the vehicle has been returned. I'm going to go down to the dmv and throw a fit stating the vehicle has been returned and demand a refund!

Anyways, on with the pics:












Again, 2003 5sp GT 34K miles. Leather has slight wear on each exit side, but I guess that's natural with a 5 year old car. Oh, and let me just tell you the stock clutch feels WAY better than the aftermarket (don't know brand) one that was in mine. Oh, and mine did have a short throw shifter. I took the boots off and they were both totally different. Plus this one feels a little more sloppy shifting, but I guess that's natural with a stock shifter. Let me know what you guys think!

Seems pretty decent. My 04 is up to 50k miles now, I've been cautious to take care of my seats, they look better than that, but I think the last person just wasn't as careful. Be wary of modded cars, seriously look it over and know every little think that is stock and isn't. Since it's lowered, check for different struts/shocks, find out which springs are on it. Check for aftermarket c/c plates.

If you haven't seen a 100% bone stock new edge then the search to know every little detail that is out of place will be difficult, but you should be able to do it... anything that seems questionable, let me know I've been through it I'm sure. Otherwise, looks good!

Well I could be wrong about the lowered part. In fact, it might not have been. Check out the side pic, and let me know what you think. I noticed that the mufflers are also OEM Ford, as well as everything in the engine bay. I will post pictures of the engine tomorrow when I pick it back up to go get the inspection.

Well, here is my car at stock ride height, about a week after I got it home.



And this is it lowered with H&R Super Sports

$14.9k is high, I paid $12k for my '03 (with the "Premium" option) with 30k miles in December of 2006. If you have any bargaining power at all (pre-approved from your bank or cash), offer them $10k and see what happens. I wouldn't pay over $10.5k for that car...
