Question for '05 GT Vert Owners

I'm planning to sell my '02 GT Vert and get the new model. Originally planned to do so after the holidays but just found a '05 GT 5-speed with very low miles...a willing seller...in my color and options...hard to resist. Just hope it's not from Hurricane Central with dead fish in the trunk.

Here's my question - carfax shows a build date of 3/31/05 so it's one of the earlier runs of GT verts.

When I go test drive it later this week, are there known problems that were resolved by the factory in later production runs? I know it will be under warranty for another 28 months since I will be putting reduced miles on it...but often there are nickel-and-dime problems that are difficult for service departments to fix.

Thanks in advance for any input!

So...

...just those two items, gas fill and strut popping.

I know Ford has a service fix for the strut pop - is there a fix for the gas fill problem or does one just have to live with it?

Thanks for the response Peewee.

thanks

Bobbo -
Thanks for your response.
I drove the '05 vert yesterday and it didn't exhibit any "pop" to the suspension; time will tell on that and the gas fill problem.
