Had this car since new . Only problems were IAC, power window (brackets and switches) , headlight's plastic lenses fading and piston slap on cold mornings (and that goes away on warm-up , as others have said) I put in a new battery recenetly, but the old one was still good. A very reliable car, IMHO

i have had my 99 gt for almost a year now, jsut turned 51,000 miles and the only problem so far was the IAC. i got a new one from NAPA for 52 bucks and put it on myself in 10 min. i also had to grease up my rack bushing the other day making an annoying squeak noise. other than that i say go for it, you will love every second of the stang!

on the head tick, you guys say passenger side head, is it a liud tick or a slight tick? nad what does it mean when they tick?

What problem exactly did you have with the IAC valve. How did you know
it was a problem. I have a 2000 and it seems alot of 99-2000 have that
problem. Is there something I should be looking for?

In all honesty the 99-04 mustang gt is am awesome vehicle. I have a 99 gt with a cobra motor and a surprising 291k on it. The car runs like a beast but there are many many many minor problems. These minor problems are easy fixes, however there's always something that needs fixed or updated. But it's worth the money spent!

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?
