Well I have a high mileage Mustang and it hasn't all been daises for me. Picked her up used at 38K miles and put 20K on her in a year. From there, I had to get the MT-82 transmission rebuilt at 58K miles (just under factory warranty) for a slipping 5th gear that wouldn't engage.
At 66K miles the motor developed a tick that was misdiagnosed by a Ford dealership. At 66K they told me I needed to "just replace the engine". You could imagine my jaw dropping when they tell me I need to replace the engine of a 66K mile car right out of factory warranty. Anyways, I idiotically continue to drive the car with the tick and ended up blowing a connecting rod that tore a hole right through the short block. A month and $7,000 dollars later I have a used engine at 35K miles that in her and running strong. The car has 70K miles and running strong.
All in all, it's been hell but damn I love that 5.0L V8 until the day I die.

65,000 Miles on a 2011, Job 2 (built 8/30/2010). Only things ive had to "fix" so far is replacing the battery. Thats it other than regular maintenance. Not so much as a lightbulb (i always drive with the grill driving lights on). I feel fortunate as I drive this thing like it was meant to be driven and it has been very rock solid for me. Got a good one for sure.

I had this #8 cylinder go out melted a piston and scored the 💩out of my cylinder walls and a cam i did not have a tune. stock block just had long tubes, installed after I knew it had low compression. Ford replased the complete motor at 56000 don't know if I got the unlucky 1s but the new block is going 1500 strong hopefully it will last longer than the last 1. the cost 4 a new long block is 7k plus so if they void your warranty good luck.
