I've owned this Mustang since the Fall of 2007, I traded my 89 K5 for it so I had a vehicle that would fit on a U-haul trailer to tow behind my dually.
It's been good to me, especially considering the miles.
The interior is in okay shape. Carpets and upholstery could use a thorough steam cleaning. The dashpad is in great shape. Passenger door handle cup trim is broken on the bottom, but present. Driver door handle cup trim is AWOL, and there is a tear in the doorpanel.
This car was in a wreck in the Fall of 2008. A Honda Civic ran a red light and the Mustang ate it in the driver's wheel. An aftermarket fender was used as a replacement. A new strut was installed. I still have all the paperwork from this incident.
I normally keep a little notebook in my vehicles to write down all my fillups and repairs in. Below is a transcription of the Mustang's history (no, I didn't keep any receipts). Anything in italics is work I did, but forgot to write down in the book. Oil changes were either with Purolator/Motorcraft or Wix filters, and either Castrol or Mobil 1 5W-30

Other known issues:
The tach only works for the upper 2/3rds of its range.
Hood latch cable sheathing is cracked... a bit of a pain to open the hood sometimes.
Coolant resevoir is cracked in the middle.
A/C is still R-12. I works, but could use a recharge (or an R-134a conversion).
Power locks don't work, possibly a bad switch... I've never bothered to investigate it.

I can also dig up pics of the wreck if needed.
This car also comes with a set of 15" alloy pony wheels and some worn out BFG knockoffs. I can have pics for the wheels and tires next weekend.
