hi, so first post on this forum, lookin good,

so im looking at buying a GT in mid january and ive been combing the local buysells, autotrader.com's etc... and all i seem to be able to find are 2002's. now this is fine, but its leading me to wonder, was 2002 a lemon year or something? why is everyone getting rid of their 2002's. maybe its just a freak coincidence.


so i was wondering, is there anything detrementally wrong wtih the 2002 gt that i should be aware of before dropping my money on one? if there is what is the best year of the 4.6 and what should i be looking for as far as big flaws go when i actually check the car out in person.

 

I have a 2002 GT and I have not had a problem yet. I love it. I think it just a coincidence that you are finding alot of 02 Mustangs. Plus, the warranty on that year is up so you have people selling there cars to get a new one's.

 

02 GT with 36k - no problems besides a throw out bearing which is normal

 

I have an early 2001, If I knew then what I know now, I probably would have made sure I bought a late 2001 or above. Simply becuase they change transmissions and I would rather have the 3650. Other than that, no problems. Must be a coincidence.

 

Have an 02 with 37K miles. No probs except the 3650 synchro problem which was fixed 8,000 miles ago under TSB & warrantee.
I love my car and would buy another in an instant.

 

Well i bought a 98 gt, the first mustang with low miles, gt, and a 5 speed that i could afford..if i knew that the 99+ stangs had more horsepower i wouldnt stepped up the price and pay for a newer one..other than that theres been nothing wrong with my mustang except for the tranny that was 1/2 shot when i bought it.

 

wait the early 2001's dont have the 3650? I might buy one pretty soon. How can you know which 2001 came with the 3650 or the t-45

 

my 02 has ~47K miles and I've had zero problems with it. knock on wood.

 

Look on the certification label located in the drivers side door jamb. Look at bottom of sticker where it says TR. If it has a "K" under where it says TR, then it has the 3650 trans.

 

The drain bolt is on the bottom and not the side, the botttom is the 3650
