05-09 Mustangs
Hey all!!!! Im know this is a Camaro forum and all....but i dont feel like switching over to a Mustang forum (Plus u guys are awesome!!!!) just for a quick question.....
As some of u may know, ive been looking around for used cars and looked over many many models  and am still getting information on alot of them. So yeah, heres my Q:I was wondering if there are any specific years to watch out for in the Mustang (05-09 years) and which year you thought was best. I do not like 2010- 2011 year models, so dont offer those please  Looking for manual (idk if theres been problems with specific years transmission like the 350z).So all info appreciated!!!!!  Thanks again and again

I have an 06 GT, and haven't had any major issues. There is an issue with fuel pumps causing a stumble after long highway trips, and park brake cables freezing in cold weather(shouldn't be a problem in Florida). Some ball joint concerns(squeeking) and some noise TSB's show up. Lots of problems with skipping with the CD player on 05-6's. I had that but changed over to an F-150 in dash Nav unit. My car has been very reliable, my only expense has been new tires and the Nav unit. It is a daily driver with 50k on it.

08-09 Bullitt is the best one hands down.

What's your price range?
As far as reliability, the 05-09 mustangs don't have many big issues. Some rattling interior components over time and whatnot, but no really common mechanical issues. |

Unfortunatly, i have to go with a v6 (insurance :(). Luckily the prices for an 07 (year ive been looking at) v6 Mustang are ridiculously cheaper than the v6 Camaro price ive been looking at also.nearly 10k difference. I can get a 07 v6 mustang with 30k-40k miles for 12-14k (with leather and other nice things too  )

2003-2004 Mustang SVT Cobra, aka Terminator
I've seen them run mid 12s in basically stock form and when modded, the sky is the limit. Alfie

If you've got a price range of 21-22 OTD, why not just save up a little longer and get a V6 Camaro? I can tell you that you'd be FAR happier with it than with an 05-09 V6 mustang.
I took one on a fairly extended test drive and I was not impressed. The engine felt like it was having to work WAY to hard to get the job done, and the transmission was just terrible. Just my two cents. - X
