Got a pretty good deal on one yesterday down in Houston. 05 Mustang Convertible, premium package, 11.5k miles on it. They had a GT, but I dont really want the V8 model and it was not a convertible.

Drives freakin awesome, drove it up to Dallas today. Only complaint is the rims that it came with, they are worth some money but I dont really like them (Enkei 20" LX-6 chrome rims). I am considering taking them off with the low profile tires, selling them, and putting other ones on.

Drive great though, I will be using my 93 accord for work purposes though, I get payed milage off that car.

As you can see, the rims have some bling to them lol. They came with the car so I wont complain too much since I can always sell them off if I want.

Cool car. I love Mustangs. :)

Don't worry the America haters will be here any second to shame you for buying an inferior American car.

I agree, but it was either get the V8 or the convertible, and I wanted the convertible over the speed. The V6 models get better gas milage too, very happy with it.

I still own a 93 accord, which is running fine. I will be keeping it for a while.

Those wheels really dont "fit" that car, go to tire rack and try on some other styles.

I had a 2000 v6 vert and it was painfully slow with only 190hp, the 05+ v6 has 210hp to start with and plenty more if you want to boost it :)

Back off, Honda head. :p ;)

Last year GM recalled fewer cars than Toyota. And Toyota recalled more cars than it produced.

Considering it's a V6 Mustang I can see why the previous owner would think it was a good idea to stick those wheels on there. Those rims don't fit the retro looks of 05+ Mustangs at all.
