    Mobile 1 5W-20

    I had considered doing that, but since it says in big letters in an big bold box in the owners manual, something to the effect of "Using an oil that doesn't meet fords minimum requirements, and other than a 5w20 will void your engine warranty" I decided against that. I did it anyway in my 02...

    What a Weekend

    I might suggest getting a glass policy on your next insurance. I had a rock go though the windshield on in my 05 on the weekend which was luckily covered. I talked to the people at the glass shop and for fun we looked at some prices. The wholesale on side quarter windows in 300 and some...

    Just keep an eye out for white smoke. The 3.8s had head gasket problems until 99. Nice ride.

    What are my rights?

    Check the battery. When the batter went bad on my 02, the first symptom was the guages went all funny. When I would start the car, they would sweep all the way to max, then come back down. A few days later the car would stall out, and have difficulty starting. Replacing the battery solved the...

    Just to top off my wonderful week

    That really sucks. Will your house insurance cover it? Where in the city do you live? Unfortunatly that **** happens all over the place, now.

    Insurance Rip-off is driving me away!

    I was 22, when I bought my first brand new mustang. It was a V6, and cost me $1400 Canadian / year. (I live in Saskatchewan) My current Mustang costs me about 1600, and it will be about the same for the 05GT that is comming. Infact, I insure my mustang, my camper, and my winter car...

    Heated Seats in Canada?

    My parent's focus has heated seats. If they offer them in the focus, I don't undrestand why they won't put them in the mustang.

    Heated Seats in Canada?

    No. I've already looked into this. You can go aftermarket, but nothing from ford.

    oil pressure guage in 05

    As already mentioned, to know if you have a "real" guage, blip the throttle. If the oil pressure guage comes up with the revs, its a real guage. All GM's I have owned over the years, have had "real" guages, but none of my mustangs have.

    gt lease?

    You can go to the ford site, and build your car, then estimate payments. You can compare the lease vs buy there. Those prices are based on MSRP, though. Your dealer may charge more or less.

    SHAKER 1000 OR SHAKER 500?????

    I think it depends on the type of music you like. Myself, I am more into rock than anything else. Big bass isn't really needed for that kind of music. If you are into hip hop or something like that, then the 1000 is probally the better choice.

    Financing at Canadian Banks vs Ford Credit

    My lease is up in a few months on my 02, and I am looking at getting an 05. I went to percival the other day, and they are doing 7.9% through ford credit for 5 years. I haven't talked to any of the banks yet. Has anyone here checked this out? What does the going rate seem to be (approx) on a 5...
