Just bought an 05 GT with 100 K miles. Just wondering if anyone knows of certain things that go wrong around that point. Just upgraded from an 2002 v6 and it had tons of issues... Exhaust manifolds just to mention one...

Thanks!

The spark plugs will probably snap in half when you go to change them, which is a pain to get the piece out. The strut mounts are weak and are prone to failing, which makes a popping noise in the front end. There aren't many big problems with them.
