I'm the original owner of a 2007 GT/CS with a 5spd. The "Stang" has 258,512 miles on it after today's oil change. I used it to commute to Toronto, Canada, for the first 10 years and was never afraid to have some fun with it. It was a BLAST in the snow. Cheap urban rally racing. Very cheap car to maintain to achieve high mileage #'s and still have a very reliable car that still looks brand new. Maintenance is the key. Cheers from Canada.
There are stories of taxis with up to 1 million miles on them and I know of 1 Lincoln Towncar with the same 4.6 that has over 1 million. The weak point of these engines is what you'd usually find behind them in the 90s and early 2000s, which is the 4 speed auto transmission, which still isn't a bad transmission per se, but generally was only expected to last around 170K before needing an overhaul. However, I bought a 98 Expedition once with the same engine/trans with 245K on it. It's been some years, but I'm still baffled at the fact that it had the original transmission and upon dropping the pan to change the fluid and filter, found the original factory plug in there. It had never been changed. So not only did it have the original transmission the fluid and filter had never been changed. That explained the shifting issues, which weren't only fixed with fresh fluid, it shifted beautifully.
@@raspberrysherbet5285 Because if you have to ask that question you're stupid. If the odometer only goes to 999,999 miles, it flips over to 000,000 miles and then you count that as 1 million miles and go up from there. A child can understand this. I can't believe you not only asked that question, but pressed me on it.
Fixing the leak in the 2005 mustang is easy. There’s a grommet in the well under the plastic where the windshield wipers are. It gets clogged and when it rains it overflows into the cabin filter on mine. I constantly make sure it’s not clogged and have never had a leak even during a hurricane where we had 20 inches of rain in Florida. Just clean it out after the leaves fall and pollen falls and you’ll never get a leak.
That is good advice, but I have a 2006 and, at least with my car, it wasn't so simple. Early on, my water leaks were the same as yours. Within a year, I was seeing water leaking inside again and those drains were clear. Over the next few years, the amount of water coming in was increasing rapidly and started to mess with my electrical system. I found that the source of this second water leak was the holes for the cowl cover's clips. I poured water into the holes and it just flowed into the car. I have come across someone else who had the same issue with those holes. Clearly, there's a flaw within the unibody. I used a weatherstrip adhesive to re-install the clips and eliminated the leakage which was a relief as I spent a lot of time looking for it. I hope you don't develop this leak, but keep this in mind if you do and for anyone else who may see this.
@@ravagingwolverine damn that stinks. A problem I have had on the last year now since living in Florida is the the dashboard cracked in half on mine. I hope my leak doesn’t get worse too
@@yanghu3592 No. This automatic transmission doesn't really require consistent flushes. The fluid don't go through changes like oil in the engine does.
@@marcuslas6939 Mechanically speaking about the power train yes. The suspension and body of course won’t be new. I mean a completely disassembled and fully restored car is basically brand new, just depends on how far you are willing to go.
My 2000 Mustang (V6) has 220,200+ miles on it and my 2005 Mustang (V6) has 260,000+ miles on it. Yes, they both are my commute cars and I take care of them. Although my 2005 is starting to show signs of age with the gauges not working anymore, fueling it up is a pain since it literally takes me like 15 mins. to fill up the tank, and rats biting all sorts of electrical wires in the engine. But, a little TLC goes a long way. My 2000 is pretty much flawless except for the fact that the California desert sun has BAKED off my paint and it looks like a rusty bucket of bolts. She is however, my ol' reliable Mustang. She will get you there with wing and a prayer lol 😂. I love my Mustangs!
I had a 2010 V6 Mustang for 10yrs, what you are saying is true, great car, great . I had 138,000mi and my sensors started going..after 3 expensive fixes I had to let it go...but I truly loved it and got a lot of looks
@@josephg41 My Manual 07 GT just hit 190k , only thing I’ve done is spark plugs and coil packs. Ac blows ice cold. I’m going for highest mileage record
Good vid. Not sure why I did not come across this earlier. Anyway, I have two Mustangs: 1. 1999 3.8 V6 - 268K miles. Regular maintained. Paint wearing and a little weathered looking but running strong. 2. 2008 GT - 134K. Purchased new in 2008. Tracked somewhat regularly and driven hard. Lots of after market parts and other than a tune and CAI, engine is stock. Running as strong as day one. They are really good cars if maintained.
Glad to see all of the positive comments on here. We have a 2006 GT my wife bought new. Only 65k miles and I'm looking at a lot of minor mechanical issues that need fixing; ball joints, squeaky parts here and there, etc. I feel better about fixing it all now.
Don't laugh or poke fun, 2006 Mustang GT with 34,115 miles. I'm the second owner. Bought it in 2008 with 14,000 miles, drove it as a daily for 2 years, now it's a Sunday driver. I did get it undercoated and I keep her detailed.
I got the car for $25,000 and it Current has 34,000 on it. It's a real "Bang for the buck" cause of the performance and you can work on them yourself. I worked as a mechanic for 19 years and these 3 valves are excellent engines. As a matter of fact, I'm looking to buy a 2007 3 valve this evening cause my 2015 Fusion 2.0 EcoBoost blew up. This is one of Ford's best engines. Short lived from 2005 to 2010 but great nonetheless.
00 gt vert, 196k and still pushin strong. I was gifted this beauty after my grandfather passed, and I strive all the time to keep her lookin and runnin strong.
I have a 2008 4.0 V6 with 81,212 miles I bought back in 2013 when it had about 46,000 on it. Previous owner had his records in the glovebox. I didn´t know the previous owner but it was well cared for and I have done the same with regular oil and filter changes, coolant changes, air filter and it is garage kept. After getting it I changed the wires and plugs. It shows no leaks and has been very dependable and as you say, fun to drive.
Dang where do you live? I need to buy a GT from your state haha.. My area here in missouri has a bunch of nice GT's but most have engines with 100k having issues arleady :l
I just bought a 2006 F. Mustang GT with 286K original miles. owner told me Engine and Trans has never been open up! The car unbelievable looks and runs great!
WITH 286 K MILES WTF 286,000 MILES OMG I NEVER WOULDHAVE BOUGHT IT WITH THAT MANY MILES ON IT I HAD 150,000 WHEN I FIRST GOT MY PIECE OD SHIT 06 GT AND I WAS PUSHING IT LMAO AHAHAHAHAHA.
I’ve got a 2005 with 290,000 miles on it . Still runs and takes off like it’s brand new! I am the only owner. My mustang is proof that If you take care of the car and engine routinely, the engine should last forever.
@@loganaman9400 I was going to get mine changed but the mechanic that checked it out said it doesn't need to be messed with if the car is switching gears properly.
I have a 2000 v6 convertible. It had one owner before me. 116k when I bought it in 2019 and now 128k I would really like to get to 300k. I keep it maintained. Should I used better oil? Better gas? What else can I do to keep her running for many years?
Mustangs...GREAT cars. I have two, 2008 GT and 1999 3.8L. 134k and 266K miles, respectively. The GT is highly modified and tracked...yet running as good as when I bought her new. Both running STRONG! Luv them.
I bought my 2006 Mustang GT new, and it's been an enjoyable car throughout the years and I want to keep driving it forever really. I don't do as much driving in general as I used to. I was racking up miles for a few years, but I'm at about 165,000 miles on my 4.6 liter and it's running great. I've had most of the typical problems, the paint flaking off the leading edge of the hood, the water leaks(I finally found the water was entering via the holes for the cowl cover clips), broken clutch pedal linkage due to the rod end being brittle plastic, and I'm now starting to see weird electrical glitches despite dealing with the water leaks several years ago. And because of the water leaks, I haven't had carpet in the car for a decade, which is actually kind of fun because it makes my car a bit like an old Road Runner. Despite all that, I do love the car.
I have a 2010 mustang GT with 76000 miles it has been a great car but my idler pulley went out and my ABS module as well you just earned a new sub thanks
My buddy has a 1995 mustang gt that has been in his family since new. It has been well looked after and cared for. The car has almost 250k now, just depends on how you treat them! It is a 5.0 with a 5speed manual.

Awesome 😎 video my Man and I just became the proud owner of my brand new Ford Mustang Convertible 2012 and definitely will take this baby to cruze on this Miami Florida Weather ☁️
Thanks for the video! I love my 2000 GT convertible and it has 48k miles Mustangs are great affordable toys that can be enjoyed for a long time. My daily driver is a 2001 Tacoma with 239k miles
We own 3 black Mustangs, an original owner 2005 V6 with 150,000 miles, 2007 GT manual with 196,000 miles still looks new and a 2011 Shelby with only 15,000 miles, My wife's V6 has been getting her to work 10 miles each way every day since 2005 and still looking and running great, all problems mentioned on the v6 were addressed. including rebuilt tranny few years ago cost $2000 but all 3 cars are very reliable i would recommend buying one you will be very happy with it.
I just purchased a 2008 Mustang Bullitt with 93,000 miles on it. For me it is a toy or hobby car. I will not be putting a lot of miles on it so it should last a good long time for me. I enjoyed your video!
Great video. Thank you. My 2005 Mustang GT has only 72,000 on it. I drive it mostly on the weekends. So far, no problems. I love the car. Manual transmission, of course.
Thanks for doing this video! Just bought an ‘07 GT Premium convertible (stick!) w/50k mi. - nice to know it has a lot more life left than I thought...want it for a daily driver but Hubs wants to keep the miles off...Grrrrr!
I have the 07 mustang gt premium automatic but has 160k miles and still roars like a champ, got dual corsa exhaust and a AFE cold air intake really makes the car sound faster and the intake sounds like a turbo so im happy
My 06 GT just hit 260,000 miles yesterday and it’s running better than new thanks to regular maintenance and fun upgrades. And trust me, I do NOT drive it gently.
08 GT/CS convertible, automatic 130k (30k from me). Originally bought by a mustang-loving family as a commuter. The woman who owned it was on her 3rd or 4th Mustang, all bought new for commuting back and forth to work. This one was her baby. It lived in the garage and spent the workday in the garage at work. All maintenance done at the dealer (w/paperwork). Everything still works flawlessly. The 3v 4.6L runs smooth. She still feels like a brand new car to me. While I have smoked the tires a time or two, she’s still driven very conservatively most of the time. The S197 4.6L actually makes a decent commuter 3/4 of the year, averaging 24 MPG!
A few minor mods and you can bump that mileage to around 26, or higher. Just an aftermarket CAI and maybe higher pound injectors (found a set of 8 24lb injectors for $200 on AmericanMuscle.com that I will be adding (when I win the lottery). Right now with stock CAI and a Steeda throttle-body plenum, I average 25mpg on my commute.
I've got a 2007 Ford mustang 4.0L V6 that as of today has 107,046 miles on it and I use it for my daily driver. I've always been a fan of them along with chargers. This year the red mistress will be getting a paint job due to weathering and cosmetic issues but she runs like a charm and is babied.
1997 mustang gt with 567,000 on gauge. that was 5 yrs ago when the gauge stopped workin. its still running today. my daily driver to work. transmission still shift like brand new and never changed the fluid in it
I bought my mustang gt 2005 new from the dealership many years ago , now it has 83,000 miles and replaced parts for after market parts just to get the best performance out of this car . I don’t really drive it as much as a regular car . Is more like a pleasure ride and everything he said makes lots of sense to me. Specially when there is a huge market for this cars to make them more fun to drive .
my 01 V6 has like 222,000+ on it. i bought it for $1400 with 193,000+. Owned it for 4 years. Looked brand new when I bought it from people who didn't speak any english (doesn't look new anymore). I've wrecked it in the snow multiple times, drove it across the country 10+ times, I haven't changed any fluids besides the oil like 3 times, ac went out, tail wing fell off, I go to the gas station buy the oil in the can and dump in it and go on. Best car I've ever owned and I bet I get at least 250,000+. Original everything nothing replaced, engine is clean and runs like a dream.
96 mustang gt 581,211 miles which the gauges stop workin 4 years ago but still drives perfect. never changed transmission fluid ever. just get regular oil change and small maintaince here and there
I've had 3, a 66, a 98 and a 2005...66 and 05 were standards all gt/v8...all super reliable, just standard maintenance... all daily drivers...had the 05 for 7 years...05 and 98 were convertibles... LOVE me some Mustang 😁😁😁
I had a 89 2.3 liter fox body with 310,000 miles when we sent it to the scrap yard because it literally rusted in half. Drivetrain still ran strong or at least as strong as a 2.3 could. I also had a 98 v6 mustang with 275,000 when it was lost in a fire. Daily driven and taken care of they will last a long time. They don’t typically have high miles because people typically don’t put miles on them.
Still driving my 1985..with original motor and transmission.. basic repairs made..clutch and breaks..and I still crack hard on like it did when it was new.
144k on my 06 GT. Hydrolic throwout bearing just went out a month ago so just did full clutch for the first time. I have new phasers (non dorman), vvt solenoids, rollers and lash adjusters on the way to freshen up a little. No oil consumption issues and the rear is holding strong.
I have an '06 GT as well and it sounds like I did my clutch around the same time and mileage as yours. I got 12 years out of that original clutch. My bearings were grinding intermittently for several winters(no problems in the heat). When it finally got worse and I had the clutch done, it was apparently nearly worn completely through the friction material, so good timing there.
2007 Mustang GT manual 190k miles. Only mods I’ve done is Accel step colder spark plugs, and SR performance coil packs 0 issues. CEL light came on when the misfire started but went away after the plugs were switched. This car pull hard after 4000 RPM! I would never sell this car, the aftermarket is astounding
I have a 2001 3.8L V6 with manual transmission as my daily. Original engine and the vehicle was routinely maintained. It still runs strong and right now it's at 199,400 miles.
I bought a 2001 GT convertible in 2016 as a project, I don’t remember how many miles were on it but it was my daily for 3 years. When I sold it in 2019 it had 245000 miles on it. The kid I sold it to blew the motor up about a month later. My current daily is a 2005 GT that has over 220000 on it.
My 1997 Mustang V6 Manual, is at 221k miles on the odometer, but the odometer was broken for 4 years before I bought it. It is my daily driver, I have had her for 4 years and went from 167K to 221K! Only a couple of expensive fixes, front ball joints, new radiator and fan, new battery, and potentially a new starter at this rate. Love it to death! Going to drive it until it dies or I save enough for a 2005-2009 GT.
2007 GT, standard trans. 140k miles. Just got a new clutch, everything else is running fine 👍🏻 these cars are made incredibly well with very strong engines if you take car of em well enough. Love my baby
I'm considering buying a 2007 mustang but it has a lot of miles on it....185k. It's $3,700. Is it worth it or should I look for something else? How much longer would this car last?
My old 98 4.6 gt had 240k before a woodland critter took it out . I miss her . Most reliable vehicle I ever had I bought it with 85k . Drove the snot out of it.
I just replaced my engine on my Mustang 4.0 V6. I have documented 455,567 on original engine. I replaced engine and drive train. New paint job. The car drives like a dream. The only real problem I had was filling up the tank. D&B Autobody Vista California fixed that problem.
I have a 2012 V6 auto trans Mustang which had 38,000 miles on it when I bought it in 2014. I drive it as my commute car, and put right at 1,000 miles on it a week. This is now Jan of 2022. She just rolled past 356,000 miles. I am able to keep it in the garage at the house and most of the miles are interstate miles. I change the oil and filter religiously between every 3 to 5 thousand miles. I try to stay up on all other parts and fluids, belts, filters and other rubber items. When I initially got her cruising the interstate it was common to get right at 31 to 33 mpg. At about the 200,000 mile mark I noticed that the mpg was dropping some. Now she averages 26 to 28 mpg. I'm about ready to keep her in the garage and get a newer Mustang in a V-8. Any suggestions as far as best years?? Thanks ahead of time.
2011 3.7 V6 with 118k miles now. Bought as a commuting car in Texas. Motor strong as ever, powertrain is buttery smooth. Biggest complaint is suspension wearing out very quickly. (rear diff replace fluid and gasket, transmission fluid change and filter, coolant flush, cabin filter, air filter, suspension strut/bearing and alignment, replace main serpentine belt and tensioner)
Im looking at a 2006 v8 manual with 200k, for obout $4000, ive been learning about general maintenance on these just in case, its an incredible price, still not sure, what do you think, i really love the old school look of the s197 and 3v sound!!!!!
2007 GT/CS 97,000 miles. Daily drive 20 miles since new. Alternator and blend door only repairs. Pennzoil or M1 synthetic 5w30 twice year. 2oz MMO in gas once year. Will daily drive another 6-8 years and give to granddaughter.
I've got a 2006 4.6L V8 with 41k miles. We're actually moving from California to the mid-west so it will likely go into storage a few months out of the year as well. Its definitely my toy / weekend driver.
music man actually they are almost exactly the same car from the foxbody onward. For example, the 93-97 thunderbird was available either 3.8 or 4.6, both running 4r70w transmissions and 8.8 rear ends (albeit the thunderbird used IRS)
I have a 2008 Mustang with V-6 manual 5spd trans I got last year. I use it as a daily driver, includes present with all the snow. Had no issues or problems with driving it much less control. I serviced the rubber grommets to make sure they are clear every few months. there are actually two, one on the passenger side, the other is on the driver side. Not bad for what it is. Who ever had it last really beat it up, and it was nasty on the inside when I got it. I cleaned the day I brought it home. it will need some work still.
70300 miles - 2006 Mustang GT. It's been in my garage all this time, but now it is a daily driver since my son is now in college, and I passed it on to him.
I have a ‘14 gt premium vert with 81k, daily driver and has been great and dependable. 6 sp manual with no issues and still get lots of compliments after 61/2 years.
NRS GENIUS im at 295,500 now. Its running strong, but I did have to change the thermostat and a bad coolant leak. Idk if I’d recommend buying one with that high of miles unless its veryy cheap.
2010 mustang v6 with a 4.0 i have about 155,000 miles on it and just finished replacing the slave cylinder on the transmission. second time i've had to drop the transmission since i bought it in 2015 however not due to design or manufacturing reasons, but due to my lack of preventative maintenance. I love this car and I plan on running him till he cant run no more. Then i'll replace the engine and have him running again
I have a 2013 mustang gt/cs with 76,000 miles on it. I bought it from a one owner at 40,000 miles. It is my daily driver. I’m 30 years old and have had it for about 2 1/2 years now. I’ve kept it stock and it runs amazing. All maintenance is done by Ford or myself. It has had one issue where the pcm fried at about 70,000 miles. But it was under warranty and got replaced. Other than that it’s been a perfect reliable car for myself and my family.

I had a 2010 V6 Mustang for 10yrs, what you are saying is true, great car, great . I had 138,000mi and my sensors started going..after 3 expensive fixes I had to let it go...but I truly loved it and got a lot of looks
I have a 2012 V6 Mustang and I just hit 115,000 miles. It has the standard transmission, so I feel It'll get to 200,000 with no problem.
howd it go for u just got one for my first car
@@sicsiddd 140,000 and still rocking with no issues. 👍
@@josephg41 My Manual 07 GT just hit 190k , only thing I’ve done is spark plugs and coil packs. Ac blows ice cold. I’m going for highest mileage record
@@ForzaPullshows it going? I’m looking at a gt tmmr with 190k miles hopefully its well kept.
@@or6h I got rid of it for a BMW 335i , I regret it but I wanted a turbo car😭
Good vid. Not sure why I did not come across this earlier. Anyway, I have two Mustangs:
1. 1999 3.8 V6 - 268K miles. Regular maintained. Paint wearing and a little weathered looking but running strong.
2. 2008 GT - 134K. Purchased new in 2008. Tracked somewhat regularly and driven hard. Lots of after market parts and other than a tune and CAI, engine is stock. Running as strong as day one.
They are really good cars if maintained.
I just bought a 2005 mustang gt with a 5-speed the car has 116,252 miles on it i love it😍👌🏼
Glad to see all of the positive comments on here. We have a 2006 GT my wife bought new. Only 65k miles and I'm looking at a lot of minor mechanical issues that need fixing; ball joints, squeaky parts here and there, etc. I feel better about fixing it all now.
Don't laugh or poke fun, 2006 Mustang GT with 34,115 miles. I'm the second owner. Bought it in 2008 with 14,000 miles, drove it as a daily for 2 years, now it's a Sunday driver. I did get it undercoated and I keep her detailed.
How much u pay for it
How much you pay? And Is maintenance expensive on it ?
Nice
I got the car for $25,000 and it Current has 34,000 on it. It's a real "Bang for the buck" cause of the performance and you can work on them yourself. I worked as a mechanic for 19 years and these 3 valves are excellent engines.
As a matter of fact, I'm looking to buy a 2007 3 valve this evening cause my 2015 Fusion 2.0 EcoBoost blew up. This is one of Ford's best engines. Short lived from 2005 to 2010 but great nonetheless.
00 gt vert, 196k and still pushin strong. I was gifted this beauty after my grandfather passed, and I strive all the time to keep her lookin and runnin strong.
Whoa you got a gift after your grandad passed ?
I have a 2008 4.0 V6 with 81,212 miles I bought back in 2013 when it had about 46,000 on it. Previous owner had his records in the glovebox. I didn´t know the previous owner but it was well cared for and I have done the same with regular oil and filter changes, coolant changes, air filter and it is garage kept. After getting it I changed the wires and plugs. It shows no leaks and has been very dependable and as you say, fun to drive.
288k mileage on my '00 GT, bonestock. Still alive and kicking! It's my daily driver
Dang where do you live? I need to buy a GT from your state haha.. My area here in missouri has a bunch of nice GT's but most have engines with 100k having issues arleady :l
227k on my 99 GT california car. Daily driven and running strong. Just put in new timing chains
I just bought a 2006 F. Mustang GT with 286K original miles. owner told me Engine and Trans has never been open up! The car unbelievable looks and runs great!
WITH 286 K MILES WTF 286,000 MILES OMG I NEVER WOULDHAVE BOUGHT IT WITH THAT MANY MILES ON IT I HAD 150,000 WHEN I FIRST GOT MY PIECE OD SHIT 06 GT AND I WAS PUSHING IT LMAO AHAHAHAHAHA.
I’ve got a 2005 with 290,000 miles on it . Still runs and takes off like it’s brand new! I am the only owner. My mustang is proof that If you take care of the car and engine routinely, the engine should last forever.
Bro my 2005 has 211,000 miles and is about to die 😢
I’m looking to get a 2006 that has 180,000 miles and I’m worried about the transmission have you had to change that at all?
@@Cristianlucero15z awe man. Any idea what's wrong with it?
@@loganaman9400 I was going to get mine changed but the mechanic that checked it out said it doesn't need to be messed with if the car is switching gears properly.
I have a 2000 v6 convertible. It had one owner before me. 116k when I bought it in 2019 and now 128k I would really like to get to 300k. I keep it maintained. Should I used better oil? Better gas? What else can I do to keep her running for many years?
Mustangs...GREAT cars. I have two, 2008 GT and 1999 3.8L. 134k and 266K miles, respectively. The GT is highly modified and tracked...yet running as good as when I bought her new. Both running STRONG! Luv them.
Grandmas dont buy mustangs
I bought my 2006 Mustang GT new, and it's been an enjoyable car throughout the years and I want to keep driving it forever really. I don't do as much driving in general as I used to. I was racking up miles for a few years, but I'm at about 165,000 miles on my 4.6 liter and it's running great. I've had most of the typical problems, the paint flaking off the leading edge of the hood, the water leaks(I finally found the water was entering via the holes for the cowl cover clips), broken clutch pedal linkage due to the rod end being brittle plastic, and I'm now starting to see weird electrical glitches despite dealing with the water leaks several years ago. And because of the water leaks, I haven't had carpet in the car for a decade, which is actually kind of fun because it makes my car a bit like an old Road Runner. Despite all that, I do love the car.
i have a 2012 v6 premium and its got 183k miles on it and it runs perfect and smooth. no complaints!
I have a 2010 mustang GT with 76000 miles it has been a great car but my idler pulley went out and my ABS module as well you just earned a new sub thanks
My 2002 Mustang V6 has just a little over 200,000 miles and it runs great I'm looking forward to taking it on a road trip to Mustang Week 2019
276k on my 2000 v6, we are going for that 421k record!!! Did just replace the Master Cylinder myself though.
My buddy has a 1995 mustang gt that has been in his family since new. It has been well looked after and cared for. The car has almost 250k now, just depends on how you treat them! It is a 5.0 with a 5speed manual.
They didn’t make 5.0s in 95 sir
@@BlakeCodGuy1 ah maybe it was a 94 then, but a 5.0 sn94
@@josephwalter6672 they never made 5.0s in the sn95 body style lol they stopped making 5.0s in the fox body and brought them back in 2011. The sn95 only had 4.6s
@@BlakeCodGuy1 I am here to say I own a 1995 GT with the 5.0, it was indeed the last year of this engine before the 4.6 debuted in the GT!
My first car was a 1996 3.8 v6, it had well over 300,000 miles on it. U couldn't kill that thing.
Awesome 😎 video my Man and I just became the proud owner of my brand new Ford Mustang Convertible 2012 and definitely will take this baby to cruze on this Miami Florida Weather ☁️
Awesome! Enjoy, and thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video! I love my 2000 GT convertible and it has 48k miles Mustangs are great affordable toys that can be enjoyed for a long time. My daily driver is a 2001 Tacoma with 239k miles
We own 3 black Mustangs, an original owner 2005 V6 with 150,000 miles, 2007 GT manual with 196,000 miles still looks new and a 2011 Shelby with only 15,000 miles, My wife's V6 has been getting her to work 10 miles each way every day since 2005 and still looking and running great, all problems mentioned on the v6 were addressed. including rebuilt tranny few years ago cost $2000 but all 3 cars are very reliable i would recommend buying one you will be very happy with it.
Wow good to know about the tranny. I have a 2007 V6 with 150,000 miles. I love my mustang so I know I will need to start investing more to keep it.
Recently purchased a 2003 GT with 79,000 miles for $3,000. Only issue is a gring going into 3rd on the Tremec 3650. I think it was a pretty good deal.
I just purchased a 2008 Mustang Bullitt with 93,000 miles on it. For me it is a toy or hobby car. I will not be putting a lot of miles on it so it should last a good long time for me. I enjoyed your video!
Have fun, thanks!
Great video. Thank you. My 2005 Mustang GT has only 72,000 on it. I drive it mostly on the weekends. So far, no problems. I love the car. Manual transmission, of course.
I probably have the world's lowest miles V6. My 2005 has about 22,500 miles on it. Love it!
I bought a gt this year with only 39k miles and it’s a 2006
I just bought 1 v6 manual..170000miles....im in California n bought it to commute 25 miles daily..it was an upgrade 4m my Honda element lol
Thanks for doing this video! Just bought an ‘07 GT Premium convertible (stick!) w/50k mi. - nice to know it has a lot more life left than I thought...want it for a daily driver but Hubs wants to keep the miles off...Grrrrr!
I have the 07 mustang gt premium automatic but has 160k miles and still roars like a champ, got dual corsa exhaust and a AFE cold air intake really makes the car sound faster and the intake sounds like a turbo so im happy
My 06 GT just hit 260,000 miles yesterday and it’s running better than new thanks to regular maintenance and fun upgrades. And trust me, I do NOT drive it gently.
Thats awesome!
08 GT/CS convertible, automatic 130k (30k from me). Originally bought by a mustang-loving family as a commuter. The woman who owned it was on her 3rd or 4th Mustang, all bought new for commuting back and forth to work. This one was her baby. It lived in the garage and spent the workday in the garage at work. All maintenance done at the dealer (w/paperwork). Everything still works flawlessly. The 3v 4.6L runs smooth. She still feels like a brand new car to me. While I have smoked the tires a time or two, she’s still driven very conservatively most of the time. The S197 4.6L actually makes a decent commuter 3/4 of the year, averaging 24 MPG!
A few minor mods and you can bump that mileage to around 26, or higher. Just an aftermarket CAI and maybe higher pound injectors (found a set of 8 24lb injectors for $200 on AmericanMuscle.com that I will be adding (when I win the lottery). Right now with stock CAI and a Steeda throttle-body plenum, I average 25mpg on my commute.
Some great info. Thanks for sharing. I have a 2001 mustang v6 with 145k miles on it. Runs great. I take good care of it.
I've got a 2007 Ford mustang 4.0L V6 that as of today has 107,046 miles on it and I use it for my daily driver. I've always been a fan of them along with chargers. This year the red mistress will be getting a paint job due to weathering and cosmetic issues but she runs like a charm and is babied.
1997 mustang gt with 567,000 on gauge. that was 5 yrs ago when the gauge stopped workin. its still running today. my daily driver to work. transmission still shift like brand new and never changed the fluid in it
Yoooo wtf 😂😂 that's crazy and awesome
@@T.Thaddy00 its still going. I just had to put a alternator on it a month ago
@@Dee--Jay that's awesome bro
You should change the fluid dawg make that sucker last a milly
I bought my mustang gt 2005 new from the dealership many years ago , now it has 83,000 miles and replaced parts for after market parts just to get the best performance out of this car . I don’t really drive it as much as a regular car . Is more like a pleasure ride and everything he said makes lots of sense to me. Specially when there is a huge market for this cars to make them more fun to drive .
My 06 GT only needed an alternator in the 10 years I've had her.. She is fast and the best car l ever owned!
How many miles did you end up putting on your stang?
Hi.. i have a 2006 gt i bought from 0 miles.. same original clutch with 246k miles. I agree with what you said about going fast... all the time
98 GT just hit 178 and still purs and idles at 700 rpm. Served its duty in its younger days but now it’s only driven as summer car
my 01 V6 has like 222,000+ on it. i bought it for $1400 with 193,000+. Owned it for 4 years. Looked brand new when I bought it from people who didn't speak any english (doesn't look new anymore). I've wrecked it in the snow multiple times, drove it across the country 10+ times, I haven't changed any fluids besides the oil like 3 times, ac went out, tail wing fell off, I go to the gas station buy the oil in the can and dump in it and go on. Best car I've ever owned and I bet I get at least 250,000+. Original everything nothing replaced, engine is clean and runs like a dream.
96 mustang gt 581,211 miles which the gauges stop workin 4 years ago but still drives perfect. never changed transmission fluid ever. just get regular oil change and small maintaince here and there
@Militant Anarchist seriously. Jus replaced the ac compressor few months ago for the 1st time. They just built cars better yrs ago
@Militant Anarchist just make sure there is no history of accidents and/or check for abuses...You'll get the best car for another 150K minimum...
@dee, dont believe you in not changing the transmission fluids
@@bigboots6114 i have never changed the transmission fluid. I got it at 60,000 miles. Maybe it was changed before that, I don't know
I've had 3, a 66, a 98 and a 2005...66 and 05 were standards all gt/v8...all super reliable, just standard maintenance... all daily drivers...had the 05 for 7 years...05 and 98 were convertibles... LOVE me some
Mustang 😁😁😁
I had a 89 2.3 liter fox body with 310,000 miles when we sent it to the scrap yard because it literally rusted in half. Drivetrain still ran strong or at least as strong as a 2.3 could. I also had a 98 v6 mustang with 275,000 when it was lost in a fire. Daily driven and taken care of they will last a long time. They don’t typically have high miles because people typically don’t put miles on them.
I have a 2007 Mustang GT with 85,000 miles on it. I've had it since day one, and I still love it! Can't drive it in the winter, though.
My 2006 V6 Mustang (manual) has 130k miles on it, and still drives awesome!
Still driving my 1985..with original motor and transmission.. basic repairs made..clutch and breaks..and I still crack hard on like it did when it was new.
144k on my 06 GT. Hydrolic throwout bearing just went out a month ago so just did full clutch for the first time. I have new phasers (non dorman), vvt solenoids, rollers and lash adjusters on the way to freshen up a little. No oil consumption issues and the rear is holding strong.
I have an '06 GT as well and it sounds like I did my clutch around the same time and mileage as yours. I got 12 years out of that original clutch. My bearings were grinding intermittently for several winters(no problems in the heat). When it finally got worse and I had the clutch done, it was apparently nearly worn completely through the friction material, so good timing there.
2007 Mustang GT manual 190k miles. Only mods I’ve done is Accel step colder spark plugs, and SR performance coil packs 0 issues. CEL light came on when the misfire started but went away after the plugs were switched. This car pull hard after 4000 RPM! I would never sell this car, the aftermarket is astounding
My 2005 is about to hit 200K in the next 3500 miles. She is running stronger than ever! Proper maintenance is all you need.
I have a 2001 3.8L V6 with manual transmission as my daily. Original engine and the vehicle was routinely maintained. It still runs strong and right now it's at 199,400 miles.
I bought a 2001 GT convertible in 2016 as a project, I don’t remember how many miles were on it but it was my daily for 3 years. When I sold it in 2019 it had 245000 miles on it. The kid I sold it to blew the motor up about a month later. My current daily is a 2005 GT that has over 220000 on it.
I have a friend who has 320k plus. Looks like new on the outside and still runs great.
My 1997 Mustang V6 Manual, is at 221k miles on the odometer, but the odometer was broken for 4 years before I bought it. It is my daily driver, I have had her for 4 years and went from 167K to 221K! Only a couple of expensive fixes, front ball joints, new radiator and fan, new battery, and potentially a new starter at this rate. Love it to death! Going to drive it until it dies or I save enough for a 2005-2009 GT.
My 2005 GT convertible went 308,000 on stock original motor before some turd Rear ended it and bent the frame. Thing ran like a top, no issues.
2007 GT, standard trans. 140k miles. Just got a new clutch, everything else is running fine 👍🏻 these cars are made incredibly well with very strong engines if you take car of em well enough. Love my baby
06 GT today, 7-18-24, currently 220k miles and still going strong. But I will want to rebuild the motor soon.
I'm considering buying a 2007 mustang but it has a lot of miles on it....185k. It's $3,700. Is it worth it or should I look for something else? How much longer would this car last?
My 07’ GT premium still has like new suspension and this damn engine still mean as hell, did ALL maintenance and it’s lasted me a long time
I’m sporting a 99 mustang V6 with 271,000 km on OG motor and currently fixing it up to look as good as possible.
Pushing 199K. JLT CAI and Bama Tune, few other goodies. Still going strong.
My 2005 Mustang GT currently has 124,000. The transmission had to be rebuilt around 110,000 miles, but other than that it still runs well.
My old 98 4.6 gt had 240k before a woodland critter took it out . I miss her . Most reliable vehicle I ever had I bought it with 85k . Drove the snot out of it.
Nice video, very informative and well researched. Good watch
I had both mustang and a camry and my mustang was more reliable :)
I just replaced my engine on my Mustang 4.0 V6. I have documented 455,567 on original engine. I replaced engine and drive train. New paint job. The car drives like a dream. The only real problem I had was filling up the tank. D&B Autobody Vista California fixed that problem.
How much do you pay...
I have a 2012 V6 auto trans Mustang which had 38,000 miles on it when I bought it in 2014. I drive it as my commute car, and put right at 1,000 miles on it a week. This is now Jan of 2022. She just rolled past 356,000 miles. I am able to keep it in the garage at the house and most of the miles are interstate miles. I change the oil and filter religiously between every 3 to 5 thousand miles. I try to stay up on all other parts and fluids, belts, filters and other rubber items. When I initially got her cruising the interstate it was common to get right at 31 to 33 mpg. At about the 200,000 mile mark I noticed that the mpg was dropping some. Now she averages 26 to 28 mpg. I'm about ready to keep her in the garage and get a newer Mustang in a V-8. Any suggestions as far as best years?? Thanks ahead of time.
2011 3.7 V6 with 118k miles now.
Bought as a commuting car in Texas.
Motor strong as ever, powertrain is buttery smooth.
Biggest complaint is suspension wearing out very quickly.
(rear diff replace fluid and gasket, transmission fluid change and filter, coolant flush, cabin filter, air filter, suspension strut/bearing and alignment, replace main serpentine belt and tensioner)

Im looking at a 2006 v8 manual with 200k, for obout $4000, ive been learning about general maintenance on these just in case, its an incredible price, still not sure, what do you think, i really love the old school look of the s197 and 3v sound!!!!!
2007 GT/CS 97,000 miles. Daily drive 20 miles since new. Alternator and blend door only repairs. Pennzoil or M1 synthetic 5w30 twice year. 2oz MMO in gas once year. Will daily drive another 6-8 years and give to granddaughter.
Those gt/cs's are cool cars. Thanks for sharing.
I've got a 2006 4.6L V8 with 41k miles. We're actually moving from California to the mid-west so it will likely go into storage a few months out of the year as well. Its definitely my toy / weekend driver.

No Mustang, but my aunt put over 400,000 on her Thunderbird GT.
Not even close to the same car dude
@@musicman-tx2lw Well he did say "No mustang" but fords make some incredible motors that will treat you well if you treat them right.
music man actually they are almost exactly the same car from the foxbody onward. For example, the 93-97 thunderbird was available either 3.8 or 4.6, both running 4r70w transmissions and 8.8 rear ends (albeit the thunderbird used IRS)
@@Hudbudd Mustang cobra used the same IRS actually (I think more spilnes). Very similar cars.
My '05 GT has a 178000 miles and still runs strong. Of course, my maintenance schedule is near perfect.
2008 Mustang GT 4.6, 238,000 miles and going strong. Just need to be willing to do the maintenance.
I have a 2008 Mustang with V-6 manual 5spd trans I got last year. I use it as a daily driver, includes present with all the snow. Had no issues or problems with driving it much less control. I serviced the rubber grommets to make sure they are clear every few months. there are actually two, one on the passenger side, the other is on the driver side. Not bad for what it is. Who ever had it last really beat it up, and it was nasty on the inside when I got it. I cleaned the day I brought it home. it will need some work still.
70300 miles - 2006 Mustang GT. It's been in my garage all this time, but now it is a daily driver since my son is now in college, and I passed it on to him.
I have a ‘14 gt premium vert with 81k, daily driver and has been great and dependable. 6 sp manual with no issues and still get lots of compliments after 61/2 years.

I saw on OfferUp mustang 2005 for $5,000 and it has 135,000 miles should I buy it? Im 17 and if I buy it, it would b my 1st car should I buy it???
Make sure it doesn't have rust and be careful, they're powerful enough to get you in trouble.

Justin Redmond I’m going to buy one for 265000 today do you have any problems with it?
NRS GENIUS im at 295,500 now. Its running strong, but I did have to change the thermostat and a bad coolant leak. Idk if I’d recommend buying one with that high of miles unless its veryy cheap.
NRS GENIUS but who knows, if its well maintained it could last you another 100k miles. I don’t expect mine to kill before 350k at least

my 2007 v6 mustang has 328k miles on it. I only rebuilt the transmission and did light maintenance on the car.
2010 mustang v6 with a 4.0 i have about 155,000 miles on it and just finished replacing the slave cylinder on the transmission. second time i've had to drop the transmission since i bought it in 2015 however not due to design or manufacturing reasons, but due to my lack of preventative maintenance. I love this car and I plan on running him till he cant run no more. Then i'll replace the engine and have him running again
I have a 2013 mustang gt/cs with 76,000 miles on it. I bought it from a one owner at 40,000 miles. It is my daily driver. I’m 30 years old and have had it for about 2 1/2 years now. I’ve kept it stock and it runs amazing. All maintenance is done by Ford or myself. It has had one issue where the pcm fried at about 70,000 miles. But it was under warranty and got replaced. Other than that it’s been a perfect reliable car for myself and my family.
My Fox body Mustang GT 5 speed trans I bought off
the showroom for $14,708 went over 230K miles. I traded it in after that.
Good to know. I never plan on parting with my 06 GT!!!!!!!
