The GT spoiler on the trunk lid helps. I figure thats worth 600.00 So now you have a v-6 for 14,000.00. With the way gas keeps going up. , increasing the value of a milage vehicle, . I would say you did alright.....not crazy good. but fair nonetheless.

You could post your problem in a thread of your own, but since your hear it sounds like a thomostat sticking. Simple issue ....pep boys can handle that, mebbe the dealer if covered under warranty.

And can't really compare values on gt to v6 based on years and mileage. Like my 2000 v6 convertible with 120,000 miles was worth around the same as a 97 gt coupe with over 160,000 miles according to kbb
Didn't get leather but is an automatic. Drove manual for 35 years and decided to go with auto this time.

Well as we all know everything tends to be more expensive here in Los Angeles.

Sorry for the confusion . It's just the opposite here. In Los Angeles GT's and Shelby's are all over the place but the v6's are hard to come find. Wanted a GT but again living in this city the insurance would've killed me!!

Also just thought I mention that this isn't the first Mustang I've owned. Had one of these back in the '70s:



Wish I still had it! If I knew back then what I know now I never would have gotten rid of it!
