Default Upgrading and restoring

Hey, first off I want to tell you I'm not really good in the car scene but my friend suggested that I go on these forums. I was planning to buy a used 2007 mustang v6 premium, and I need to know what parts I should change, upgrade or work on. If you are wondering what car I'm getting, it is this https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used...ting=168913589

With only 84,000 miles if it has been well cared for shouldn't be much to do. Check the thermostat housing, it is a common failure point on the 4.0 and easy to replace (get the aluminum one off amazon).

Ball joints possible just given the age. I never had a problem with the shaker draining the batter on my 2006.

I have a 2005 Mustang and really haven't had any problems with it.

The one you want looks good with nice rims on it.

Ask him if he did the air bag recall yet?
