Ok so your the not the first to mention the V6 wheels. I'm curious why you guys are telling me to ask why the V6 wheels? Would that be a sign for something bad or are you guys just curious?

Probably curiosity. Maybe one of the previous owners actually liked the look of those wheels better. Taste is very individual. I've seen 03/04 Mustang 'running pony' side graphics on GTs of the same year. They sure weren't standard.

Are the V6 rims 16 or 17" rims?

This website says v6 was 15 with 16 optional, gt was 16 with 17 optional. My friends mom has a gt with those same wheels, not sure if they came on it though.

in that year they were probably that 16" from the factory rim. But they probably didnt make it on many gt's. Remember that was 9 years ago, I dont think they had the bullit rims out at that point.

Ok so I'm not going to see the car tonight cause my money isn't getting transfered into my bank account til around midnight tonight (long story). I found more pictures of the car and wanted you guys to look at it more.

My questions are: On the left hand side of the rear spoiler there is some sort of paint problem and don't know what it is. Is that something that can be fixed or spread around? Also the interior looks fine but I'm not sure what's up with the radio. Other than that do you guys still think it's worth $4-4.5k?

Oh and those rims looks so stupid lol those will get fixed if I buy it.

That looks like some kind of chemical spillage on the wing thats ate thru a little of the clear coat. If its not flaking or too deep it could be wet sanded and buffed out, other than that and the color of the interior its a very nice looking Mustang.
