Just purchased my Mustang last week. It is an 02 GT. The car came completely stock, has 67k miles, is a 5 speed, and is in exceptional condition. I looked at probably about 15 cars (not all of them Mustangs) before deciding on this one. As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted it.

I bough my 02 2 years ago for 10k with only 35,000 Mi. when i bought it i found it weird that it had a very heavy clutch but i have driven a few since and they had stiff clutches as well. The only mods it had was long tube headers and flowmaster straits. i found mine on craigslist.

I purchased it for $8300.

The clutch is heavy, but seems typical for Mustangs. The one thing that bothered me is clutch actuation, which is not very smooth. But I had a couple of mechanics check it out though and they said it was fine.
