Is a 2006 GT Right for Me?
I drive a Pontiac Grand Prix that's supercharged. It pulls pretty hard but I'm interested in getting a manual transmission ~5 second 0to60 car that looks good and is inexpensive and fairly reliable. I'm wondering if the 05 mustang GT will do. Aiming for ~$6k. I've seen a couple of 05-06 mustang GTs around here for that price with high miles. Can the right high miles mustang be the car I'm after? Thanks.

The key is the standard of maintenance rather than the mileage. Go over any car you look at with a fine toothcomb and take it for a test drive. If it feels right, it probably IS right.

Buy a late build 06. Ford did some mid-year changes to improve the HVAC system. If you do research on defroster duct tubing on Ford parts websites you'll see 2 different part numbers in mid-year build.
