Amazing ride

Car is in great shape for a 2005. Car is clean no rips or tear in the leather interior. Is extremely fun to drive lots of power and a lot of pickup. Was put in a garage for the winter time never driven in the snow. Never had any issues with the car except getting it inspected for how loud it is but its worth it because it sounds amazing. It turns heads wherever I go and people are constantly complimenting me on it.

Best car to drive and own...hands down.

This car is so enjoyable and meets my need of driving a sporty vehicle that has a little kick but looks great driving around town and all around. Built tough and looks great!

Sweet Saleen!

This car was everything I had hoped for in owning and driving a Saleen S-281. A dream come true. You will not be disappointed with this car.

2005 Mustang GT

I purchased this Mustang used back in 2015. Had 51k miles with a few door dings. It has been a reliable car for the past years of ownership. Had two recalls for the airbags but that is only times in the shop. I enjoy the aftermarket shops around for this car. So many options to customize your mustang to your liking. I don't like the gas mileage it gets around town, but I didn't but the Mustang GT for fuel efficiency. I bought it for how it looks. I love the throwback design with a touch of modern. By today's standards 300hp is not enough but it is good enough for me. Not the fastest car out there but I am ok with that!

Surprisingly well

This car is very comfortable and a lot sportier than most people believe. The V6 is just as good as the V8 in most cases.

Fun to drive

Fun car to drive. Toughest decision is whether to get the convertible or the fastback. The email not things missing are a back up camera and Bluetooth but these can be added aftermarket.

Unreliable

Purchased my car (2005 v6 coupe, just the basic one) in early 2016. It had low miles and a rebuilt title. It was a suspiciously low price. In the three years I’ve owned it the speedometer stopped working (at about 70k miles) and it doesn’t shift worth a xxxx (had solenoids replaces, but that didn’t help. A ford dealership in my area couldn’t even figure it out). The beige cloth interior is stained beyond belief from very minor things that should not have left stains. I realize this car was 11 years old when I bought it, but it has went down hill fast. I suppose buying one with a rebuilt title could’ve been my mistake but the man I bought it from said the previous owner left the windows down and the sprinklers in his yard ruined the inside. Not sure how much truth there was to that, but it was a good price with low miles so I jumped on the opportunity. It’s kind of been a money trap, and I would not reccomend buying it.

Best deal I?ve seen around

The car is great it has just enough features and luxuries to keep me comfortable but it also maintains a good bit of performance to keep me entertained.
