I live in Central CA and have alway loved mustangs. Been lookin for about a year now and found this 06 mustang gt. I have done quite a bit of research on these cars. I have test drived it (impressed), looked at it (no dings or dents), checked under the hood (clean as a whistle, kind of concerns me), scanned it (clean)...just checkin on peoples opinion...let me know what you think

Here is the link:

btw: I have them lowered on the price to 16, 900 for now....

 

As long as everything checks out like you said it did I say go for it. I'm an avid mustang fanatic. I've owned 3 in the past and hope to acquire another in the not so distant future.

 

sick...what mustangs? I am a fanatic!

 

bump-diggity

 

Pretty good mileage for and 06. Let me tell you, those estimated MPG's are about dead on. With my heavy foot, I was getting about 17.7mpgs and 24-25mpgs highway in mine.

Nice find if you have them down to 16,9! I say go for it!

 

sweet! do you think if you really milk it you could get a little more? w/chip? w/exhaust?

 

get a 5-speed! better gas milage and more fun

 

did you really need to bump this thread after half an hour?

 

sorry....jeeze...like i said I'm a fanatic and wanted to see what everyone thought...

 

I'll be traveling alot throughout CA next year and will be in some high traffic areas...shifting that much won't be so much fun...but hell yeah it would be more fun!

 

I agree a 5 speed is more fun. and the clutches are much softer than in the past., but it's all in your opinion. These auto trans. are no turds. Get a short throw shifter and your set.

as far as tuner/intake/exhaust for better mpg's.... eh not so much, the numbers i posted were with all of them.

 

buy it! you will love it! We love ours! we get 18-19 mpg city and 25mpg highway.

We owned 3 LOL! /pic ***** time!

BTW I know 5-speeds are more fun but unless you are an amazing driver you wont out run a GT with the 5R55R Auto. especially with a tune.

Some of my videos:

 

talk about some sexy stangs man....truly impressive! Did you guys find that the backseat was completely useless? Is it better than the jumpseats in the ranger?

 

I have twin 6 year old girls, they sat back there fine.... and that's about all, back packs and lunch boxes go in the trunk, which i'll add are bigger than previous year mustangs =)

 

sweet vds! I'm jealous! There has always been something about the stang!

 

man if i was six years old and gettin picked up in a mustang gt!

 

93 4banger hatch, 96 gt and 04 v6

 

If you scoot the front seats foward, full grown people can fit... its tight but it works. 4 of us drove our car to branson (2 hours) with no complaints last summer. Go for it man, just be careful, these cars can get away from ya.

as for the stick vs. auto argument... heres a auto with just bolt ons... They arent slow. LOL

 

Ugh it's an auto... In my opinion you just can't have a car like that and not have a stick, unless you are in a heavily populated area. i.e - LA. Not as much driver skill involved. Just my opinion though...

 

do it! i've got a 93 lx vert and i love it. eventually i'll own one of the newer ones. after school and when i have my career sounds like a good time lol

 

why do you love a stick so bad? the autos aren't as bad as they used too be...they are quick and snappy! I have driven stick a lot and its cool for a while and sometimes its cool but after a while it just gets laborious

 

In 2006 I was >this< close to trading the Ranger in for an 06 Stang w/ the pony package. Black on black leather interior with grey racing stripes and the 18" grey Bullit rims. I took it out for a few rips and had all the paper work drawn up, just needed to sign. I slept on it and realized that the dealer was practically stealing my Ranger away. The trade value was just not enough to make me feel comfortable, so I killed the deal. In 2006, my Ranger was worth a lot more then $6500. Hell, that's what it's worth now. LOL
I love the 05-09 style. The 2010's just don't do it for me.

 

i agree hundred percent! the 05-09 really just look more retro to me....and with a couple hundred invested you got a pretty quick car...I am just gonna miss having my own truck...i just know it

 

i say go for it...but you would have alot more fun with a 5spd. im also an avid mustang lover, ive had 2 and ill have another in the near future
