2006 Mustang GT Auto - What to look for?

[Slick_89_Hatch]

It was pretty clean. Can tell it never saw winter and was pretty well taken care of. Hood is painted....which I expected or would expect to paint. Front bumper painted....ok job and RR Qtr painted...pretty good job. No signs of really bodywork that I can see....and is straight with no waves. So all repaint is pretty minor...from what I can see no accidents. All power options work perfect including the shaker 1000 subs so no SJB issues that I can see. This car is currently top of the list. I still havent heard from my insurance so I don't want to pull the trigger yet....and I still have the rental.

Looks like some serious issues...should I stay away since it will be a daily driver including winter?

Had my water leak fixed on my 05 no issues since (3 years ago).
In my case it was water coming in through the cabin filter - result of plugged drain on engine side of firewall.

The only issue I felt was major was the corrosion of the aluminum hood. After replacing factory hood with another, finally replaced second hood with a fibreglass one.

I must be lucky, original hood with original paint 2006. It is flaking on the underside a little but that's it.

Sorry to break it to you, but unless it was insured for agreed replacement value, you aren't getting anything for a 20 y/o car.

That would hurt

Could also be improved production methods as yours is a 2006 and mine a 2005, built in November 2004.

My 05 has no flaking in the hood and as far as I know was never repainted.

The 99 your looking at looks pretty nice but the s197 is a whole lot more car in my opinion

You are never going to believe what they are giving me.....lets just say with tax its almost enough to buy this 06GT I want (before tax on this car)

As you know, doesn't work out that way very often.
Cool it has for you.
