As for paint, my 2003 v6 had some paint peel off the hood, maybe 3 square inches. With 100K+ miles including winter sand blast, it was time to touch it up. cost $300. no big deal. It has been good since then.

If you want better handling, get a 2005 or later. My 05 corners muchbetter than a 2003.

 

Yes I do have a driver's license...I'm assuming you saw my previous thread, and not trying to bash on me ( they really don't get anyone anywhere)

I know I am not going to live down the c5 vs mustang question, but in the end it helps me decide which car to get.

Thanks guys for your help

 

Fortunately, I haven't read your other thread.

 

Ok whatever
I don't see what's wrong in asking about something you don't know about, that is what a forum is for...

I got my answers...thanks to all of you (even sonic mustang)
