There are better deals out there. My friend bought a 2007 Mustang GT with 19K miles for $19K.....keep looking.
I bought mine brand new off the car carrier for $19K.

Thanks guys, unfortunately I'm in college and my limit is 12,000. I love the 05 body style and this seems to fit. 16k and 19k are a little out of my range. In this case, is it a good deal for under 12k? I checked it out and the body is flawless, no damage, interior is clean except for 1 or 2 leather cracks, and no other problems.

I wouldn't give them more than $12K for it because of the high mileage. Have you tried Car Max? I looked just for curiosity in my area and saw a 2005 red V6 with 30K miles for $14,998.

I looked on Enterprise Used Car Sales and saw a 2007 V6 with 27,863 miles for $14,999. Of course that is in my area, but try your zip and see what comes up. Link to that car below;

Just to let you know, last year I bought my daughter a 2006 Ford Focus from Enterprise Used Cars with less than 15K miles on it for $11K. So far, no problems!

On that dealer's website it has an option on the right hand side that says "Name your price on this vehicle" give them an internet offer of 10.5 and see what they come back with. If they go for it it leaves you a little $$ in your pocket....maybe for mods Sounds like a pretty good price otherwise.

Good luck and hopefully you get it. Keep us posted.

Does this seem like a good deal? Im going for the test drive tomorrow to check it out.
Just wondering what others think and what I can come to expect with this car.
Thanks guys and hopefully you'll be hearing more of me!

I would check Blue Book Value via internet if you want to know pricing if interested in particular used auto and then go from there.

50k miles isn't bad for a 2005 car. The price seems very fair but make a lower offer and see what happens.
