Good Deal?
Hey guys, new to the forum and new the muscle/mustand world. I'm about to purchase an 05 v6. This is what i'm working with.
http://www.sportautomotive.com/profile.asp?VIN=1ZVFT80N655114085&xMake=&FilterMak e=0&zip=&distance=<br>
Does this seem like a good deal? How do the 05's hold up after 50k miles (how do they hold up in general)? Is there anything in particular I should look for? The carfax is clean and has regular oil changes and inspections so its looks good on paper. 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!

Knot4u1 welcome to the forum! I can't get that link to work. How many miles are on it?
Make sure you feel all around the floor boards on the passenger side to make sure it is not wet. There have been some issues with leaks.
One member here found that the drain plugs under the hood will get clogged from debris. However, I have not encountered that problem.

If it were me 50,000 miles seems to me to be a hell of a lot for that price.
I did a quick search on auto trader to find some in my area for under 16k.....and almost all had under 30,000 miles and about 4 or 5 were 2007 models.
I don't know your money situation nor would I ask but to me 1k more is well worth it for a longer life span of a car.
