    Anyone get their "popping" struts fixed?

    Hey everyone: I don't have much time to post lately. I still need to get my baby to the dealer to get that blasted banging noise coming from the front wheels fixed. It happens on sharp turns, like a pop or a clank. I thought I read that the dealers are still not fixing???? Anyone get theirs...

    05 GT auto tranny in 3rd slips??

    What's different about the Stang's auto trans from any other trans I have owened before, is that 3 is just 3, not 1 through 3. Trying to start in 3 is like trying to start a manual in 3rd. I suspect that you are used to cars that shift 1 trough 3rd, when in 3rd. Not sure why ford did this...

    The dealer is preparing my car for shipment now. Should be driving the streets of San Diego in 10 days. It is a Redfire GT with premium, auto, spoiler delete, parchment leather and the "mini" IUP :nonono: I bet its going to be a beauty. Plus they are throwing in the tint job (Guess they tint...

    3 month wait for GT in San Diego!

    Mossy's a good outfit if you want to wait. Buying last year's model is no fun, unless you are on a budget, then it rocks. If you want to import a 2005 from Texas let me know, and I will give you the names of the dealers that will sell at invoice. PS, I used to live in Temecula. Back when you...

    price of dealer option bullit wheels?

    The dealer I just bought from would not trade the machined 17's for the bullits. He said they are not coming in anymore. He offered to sell me an OEM set of wheels for $800 (his cost) for 4 (no tires). It appears the bullits are "becoming" the upgrade rims. Plus, can't get em on Ebay. The...

    Pictures of my new baby finally!

    Congratulations! I picked the Redfire too. I see you got the machined wheels. Did the dealer force them on you, or did you want them? I want to trade mine for some bullits. Best, L.L.

    3 month wait for GT in San Diego!

    From what I have seen and read, well equiped GT's are $28k MSRP, and about $26k invoice. Stripped are $26k with invoice about $24 and change. Nothing scientific hear, just my ballpark. You can pay $30k MSRP too, if you want the shaker 1000 and air bags. Eliminating the Automatic saves you a...

    05 Tranny failure

    Forgive my ignorance, but are you saying that the Mustang is not made by the UAW? Did Ford actually outsoruce the new Mustang? Is that how they built it so cheap? Who the heck is AAI? http://wardsauto.com/ar/auto_ford_marks_million/ Thanks, L.L.

    Torch vs. Redfire - What's your preference?

    Yep, that's me. For $40 bucks thought I would give it a try. I liked the idea putting the dealers on notice that we know they are trying to rip us off on the west coast. I mean, come on, shipping fees are $600 to $1200 bucks, and we should pay MSRP plus $9000 at Kearny Mesa Ford in San Diego...

    Good pricing on 2005 GT Premium???

    If you check Ebay, there is a dealer offering $750 over invoice for an ordered car. You build as you want, then wait, and wait, and wait, and oh did I say WAIT. Best luck L.L.

    Decision Time: GT or No GT?

    Thank you for your thoughts. Yes there is something about this process that makes you want to shoot the first bear you see. You are wise. In regard to a V-6, Uh Uh :notnice: That car is too pokey. Ford should have bought their engine from Honda, then at least it would have an adequate 240...

    Torch vs. Redfire - What's your preference?

    OK all you RED's out there, what's your pick and why. When I ask opinions, people seem to like one way over the other. My search of the MidWest has uncovered one of each, so I need help again. The Redfire has the dark leather, while the Torch has the parchment leather. Thanks, L.L.

    List everything that has gone wrong with your '05

    :banana: You got that right buddy. Only followed by the thunk thunk when you gently nudge them out the window on a turn. That's thunk once as they hit the rear axle, and thunk twice when you back up :rolleyes: Just kidding of course. :bs:
