Hi all - little update for you guys. I queried you all a few weeks ago about a 2005 Mustang, thank you so much for all your thoughts and help on what to expect. I went and saw the car - it was decent, about what you'd expect for a 130k mile 2005 Mustang that a dealership wanted too much money for.
So, I walked, and since then I've retooled my search for the better - 2011-2012 5.0 GTs in Kona Blue with a manual transmission. I've driven one so far (which was VERY fast but also in kind of rough shape) and have a lead on one more...but it's a four hour drive from Chicago.
Question for the fam - anyone here ever done a Pre-Purchase Inspection from a service like CarChex, Lemon Squad, or PomCar? I'm seeing prices of $150-200 for a PPI and am happy to spend the money to avoid a 9-hour ordeal to go check this thing out.
Thanks all!
