Looking To Possibly Buy An 05-09 Gt

Just sold my fox 2 weeks ago.. Was thinking about going to a newer stang. I know just about nothing with these years. Are there certain issues with these cars? Is a higher mileage car a problem?

Just make sure it hasn't been beaten to death.

Check for water leakage from the cowl area into the car on the passenger side predominantly. This will show as soggy or water stained carpet padding and also more importantly corrosion in the electrical junction box behind the passenger side kick panel. If this junction box is corroded, it can cause all kinds of future electrical issues throughout the car.

Is there a better year to buy? I'm looking at an 07 tomorrow.

The '07 was pretty good but the best years to buy in this body style are '08-'09 as these have the fewest TSBs.

05-early 08 have the two piece spark plugs, which isn't a deal breaker but makes the plug change more difficult.

'07-up have the TPMS sensors on the wheels (if that matters to you). They also got a real auxiliary port for the stereo I believe starting in '07.

If you're in love with the 05-09 body style, go with the newest model you can afford. Otherwise, I have a tough time recommending any 05-10 GT over an 11-up car. The coyote 5.0L is reason enough to buy one.

I think I'm going with a foxbody again.. The more I think about it the more I don't want an 05-09
