here is the thing. This car with flawless paint would have been and should have been 60-65k. I paid 57k. The paint, while not having one glaring issue, had many surface scratches and swirling. I was able to get a paint correction done, which improved the car exponentially for about $1500. However, it will need to be repainted to keep it looking great in the next 3-5 years. So overall, $58500 for a 60-65k car could not be beat. That is why I pulled the trigger. Couldn’t be happier on a great find!

Pros

Value: 60-65K car when bought for 57K!

Cons

Visibility: Lots of surface scratches. I did see employees cleaning up cars in ways that leave scratches that people who inspect paint will see. especially on black paint. Employees need training on paint and how easily it scratches and proper cleaning techniques.

Let me start off by saying I drive and have only driven Mustang’s since 2013. I daily drive them and I absolutely love and adore how they look, sound and make me feel. It’s a sports car so it’s gonna be loud and quick and snug and if you’re serious about buying who care about the mpg/gas price? You only go around once so do it right and have a good time. The car overall is solid. I’ve owned serval since 2013 and I’ve really never ran into any major issues except a water pump well after I hit 100k miles. I really don’t see any cons to the car whatsoever besides if you’re skeptical about gas/mph. I have a 15 GT and I drive like an animals and I’m still sitting around 18mpg which isn’t bad considering. But let me tell you when you get into open highways or road and you put that pedal down the feeling is like no other. At that point I wouldn’t care if I was getting 7mpg. Buy the car, don’t second guess it, trust me.

Pros

Power: Absolute monster especially off the line. 4.4 0-60 stock.
Seat Comfort: Bucket seats with Heater AND air conditioning.
Braking: car came with BIG brembo brakes and it’s so quiet and smooth to stop after I’ve got it up to 150

Cons

Fuel Economy: 18mpg average but I drive like an animal
Weather Versatility: it’s a sports car so obviously take it down a notch or two in the rain/snow. This is New England after all.
Interior Space: I’m a big guy so it’s sometimes tight quarters especially if I have more than just a passenger but at the end of the day I’m not the one in the back seat.

I wouldn't recommend a used convertible car with a limited warranty. The mishaps are nonstop. I have been bringing the car in for the same repairs I initially found from the first week of having it up to today, which is the sixth month. I haven't been able to get the windows to close as they should or the top isn't sealed. Something is wrong with the seal to either the window or the convertible top, causing a loud whistling while driving and water to come in when it rains. I brought the vehicle back to Carmax located near my home after a ticket was put in at the location I'd made the purchase. Carmax couldn't fix the issue and advised that I take the car to a Ford dealership. Ford referred me to Boudreaux's Collision NOLA, who says they don't fix convertibles. It seems as though I'm taking days off work and being tossed from service center to service center as my warranty is lapsing. Soon the bill for repairs will be on me, which is not okay. The water coming in at each rain is damaging the mechanics of the vehicle and the interior. I was given a broken key. After my test drive, I made the sales person aware of this. I was told a service ticket was put in for me to have the key replaced. Unbeknongst to me, the service request had to be reiterated verbatim when I brought the vehicle to a Carmax that was different from the purchase location. I had to put in another request to have the key repaired. I was told it was repaired. I now have two keys, one that doesn't work at all and another that falls apart every time I remove it from my wallet. I keep the key in the wallet to hold it together. It's just too much. If it's not one thing it's another and I feel like I'm being shuffled around with no resolution to the problems I'm faced with due to no fault of my own.

Pros

Braking: I had to make a selection. I'm truly not loving this used car.

Cons

Cost to Maintain: I am having to take too much time off to bring this vehicle everywhere to repair it since the purchase date six months ago. To no avail.
