I saved up money from part time job since my freshman year to buy myself a mustang gt. i graduated this year and can finally afford a used one. Buying her this weekend from a private seller. Cant wait to hear her roaring v8 in my driveway.
What year are you getting? 1999-2004? 2005-2009? It doesn't really matter, every mustang really put their own stamp on the time they came out. Even the mustang II's. And you are right, it's all smiles when you fire that baby up!
Its a blue 2005 gt. I believe the owner had a Flow master American thunder axle back exhaust system installed. I'm buying it tomorrow, and i cant wait. Thanks for the great review it really helped me in my decision.
No problem man! The stock exhaust sounds awesome, and it only gets better with some axle backs!
Deguello lopez so how did it go
Deguello lopez
I have a 2008 GT
She’s the best decision I’ve ever made
The previous owner was actually really happy to hear that she was going to someone so passionate about mustangs
Hope you still have it. I know this is an old video. I have 2010 3V 5 speed GT with only 9000 miles. I love it. It's a humble but bold car. The 5 speed Tremec is a great tranny.
Still got it! It needs some work though so it isn’t being driven very much anymore.
@@TheDutchTexan Nice man! Glad to hear you still have it. Hopefully nothing major, major is wrong with it. It sounds like there's a sentimental connection as you mentioned your children have ridden in the Mustang. And true, these cars become part of the family. I read an article in a Hemmings magazine of this 50-something year old woman had bought a 1986 Mercury Capri 5.0, manual tranny, when she was 16 years old brand new. And many years later, she still has it and never wants to sell it, even though she doesn't drive it anymore. The story showed pics of her posing with the car in 1986, to now. I always tell people "this will be the car I die with". I have a side "beater" car that I drive to work, grocery store, etc. So my stang is only a weekend car. But I love her, even though she isn't the fastest, she still is a GT V8. I call her my "freedom car". Being that the tyrants are pushing "electric cars" only by 2030 (Agenda 2030), for "cleaner emissions". Yeah right! they don't care about anything like that. It's all about control. Grid shutdown with nothing but electric cars. No one is able to move nowhere. But that's a whole other story. Anyway, take care and God bless!
I do believe the muscle/pony car is one of the best american contributions to to the world, especially the mustang. I love the mustang. I'm european and i wonder why we don't make anything like this. Yes we need more fuel efficiency. But if we could build a car with a simpler fit and finish and less electronic technology, we could afford for the same price for more power and fun. I found incredibly stupid and snob people in europe complaining about the plastics of these mustangs and the rear live axle. Nobody over here could build something so powerful and with that feel good factor for such little money. And those V8s will run forever. So more power to you Americans, for still building affordable cars that people like to own and drive and for not falling in the temptation of building exclusively ipones with wheels.
+jigrodrigues I loved American cars the moment I saw mad max (which ironically is an Australian movie, but when I was younger I didn't realize that at all). Now that I am in the USA I still love classic (and some newer American cars) but found that often the forbidden fruit is that much more appealing. I for instance would love to own a Phase II 405 MI16 (or the bigger 4x4 Turbo model, The 405 T16), something they never had in the USA because Peugeot pulled out in 1991. And then there are the R32, R33 and R34 skylines... The grass is always greener on the other side... even when you move to the other side... Hahaha!
The Dutch Texan I'm not saying europeans and japanes can't make exciting cars, I'm saying that they are having a hard time making them exciting and affordable. The cars you've mentioned are great but they weren't affordable at all, at least when new.
The Dutch Texan Nice car. My dad has the same year, and color. Except the back plate holding the GT sign is black.
+Invaderguy78 Of Space I think it is holding up extremely well styling wise!
Proud owner of a ‘06 GT. Bought it 2 years ago and loving it!
Nice! It’s hard not to love a V8!
This video helped me decide to buy a 2005 GT. And as Dutch Texan said, the car always puts a smile on my face!
Glad I could help out! I still have it too, still brings a smile to my face every time I drive it!
I owned this car for over 7 years and I have to say it is a great car to own. My car was very reliable throughout the years and it had nearly always started up without any problem. The interior is both unique and appealing, but the only problem I had with it is that the leather panels started to peel when temperatures reached above 100 degrees Farenheit in my area. An upholstery job fixed the problem and I haven't experienced that problem since then.
Its stock exhaust is loud enough without being a nuisance to other neighbors. The paint coating on it is of high quality and I haven't experienced any paint peeling at all.
The engine is a bit underwhelming considering it only puts out 300 HP for a V8, but it is easy to work on and requires less maintenance than your typical V8 engine.
Door panels are a pain, but overall it's a pretty nice car indeed. I still got it in 2020, and I hope to state the same thing in 2030!
yeah my 2008 GT is still going strong. love it! never any issues with it, ever! ive been modding it quite a bit lately. but i do wish it started out with a little more than 300 ponies and stronger brakes. oh well still a hell of a car!
Same here, a couple of nicks and a door ding by my beloved daughter but still one fine looking automobile!
One of the best mustangs ever built. Congratulations
I still got it today!
THIS PONY CAR DON'T NEED NOTHING ELSE EXTRA. IT'S ALREADY FAST AS HELL JUST LIKE IT IS!. A BEAST!🔥🔥🔥
I remember when this Mustang GT was brand new back in '05, with 300HP it was everywhere, on magazines, on commercials, I can't believe it's already 11 Years old.
I remember 2005 like it was last year, but it's been a Decade. How time flies when you're having fun.
It's hard to believe Now the new 6th Generation Mustang V6 hakes over 300hp. Which makes it more powerful than this Decade Old GT.
+PhenomProductions23 yup, and the V6 folks love to talk to me about that. But there is one thing they will forever miss. The great soundtrack. And a movie is nothing without a great soundtrack!
I remember driving this when it was brand new. The stares I got... Now it's just an old mustang. But she still looks great IMHO!
The Dutch Texan I love the new v6 but the v8s from 2005 are Moore nostalgic from me seeing them a lot when I was in preschool around 2006 or 2005 idk
But sound better v8 2005 arto mas
I’ve had a 2007 Mustang GT premium with a manual tranny, the same color as yours except mine has the red and black interior. I bought it two years ago with 37,000 miles on it for $15,000. It’s still in mint condition and I enter it into a dozen car shows during the summer. It’s a garage queen in the Wyoming winters. I love this car and wouldn’t think of selling it. Oh, and it’s got the shaker 1000 stereo and the heated seats. It just turned 40,000 miles. I have it at the Mustang Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota and that racks up the miles. Been thinking of making a daily driver during the summer. Thanks for the awesome review on a timeless car.
Thank you! Your video inspired me even more so to get a Mustang. I have always loved Mustangs as a kid. Got myself a 2013 Mustang 5.0 convertible! It’s all smiles when I start it up and drive it around! Thanks again Dutch Texan stay safe!
My pleasure. I still got this one myself! Hard to believe it's been with me for so long!
@@TheDutchTexan I know time flies! You brought your kids home with that car! That is so cool! What a beautiful legacy man. Cheers to that. The car that never left… The Mustang! Who says a family car can’t be a 2 door with a V8?!
Just picked up a '05 GT Premium. I've had every generation of Mustang up to this one and I'm excited to see what i can do with it
Penty of aftermarket support to make it completely your own! And since the coyote fits under the hood the sky is the limit!
@@TheDutchTexan I'm thinking of going old school. If possible, i wanna try to put a 429 in there. Never seen a carbureted S197
Good review! I'm actually looking to buy an 07-09 model sometime soon.
+archinuk417 they are fun cars! Not Coyote quick unfortunately, after driving one of those mine feels really really slow.
+The Dutch Texan Haha I don't want to afford a 5.0 right now.
They are getting more and more affordable! As much as I love the handling of the new ones I am in love with the first gen S197's styling. I'd totally swap a Coyote in my mustang... If I could justify it... Which at 10K I can't. I'd rather get something old and daily the mustang for that kind of money!
Yeah. I'm looking for a 2005-2010 mustang gt right now. I currently drive a challenger, and I'm gonna keep it along side the mustang. I don't wanna spend 20g plus on a camaro ss right now. Maybe later on in my late 20's but not right now lol.
Arch417
05-07 is the newest I tested out in 2016 when my wife wanted me to replace my 64.5. It was a 50th birthday gift. My 05 GT resembles the 70’ mustang , looks like the real thing. I miss the 64, met a lot of chicks rolling in that car🤠
Love the review Im a Ford girl f150 truck for work and Mustang for play , I agree with you when you said the mustang never left,and the others left and came back.
Thanks for the kind words! I might stray with my daily driver, but my mustang will stay for life!
I love my 05 GT too.... Installed Flowmaster Outlaws... Sweet.!!!!!
MrMus TangMan
Flow master outlaws? My 05 is stock and sounds pretty tough, but something more throaghty , not noisy, is what I’m looking for
The outlaws sound incredible I have them on my 07 highly recommended
@@josephgalante935
agreed.....
I got this car about a year ago as my first car and all i can i say is that this thing is nuts for its age !
They are so much fun! And the aftermarket is there as well. Stock block should hold up to 450whp which isn't much in coyote talk, but still more than enough to have some serious fun! The styling IMHO still holds up.
@@TheDutchTexan imo 4.6 3v sounds wayyyy better than a coyote but thats just me
You’re right, more of a thumping sound than the raspyness of the Coyote.
i love my 05 , mine has a few goodies and it surprises a lot people who think that the old 4.6 has no guts .. And for the interior i can't complain i like mine a lot with the silver accent and the red leather seats... great review :)
They are quick enough to have fun with, but that Coyote just outshines it!
How much you paid for it?
I’m getting the exact same one on the 27th 😩 it only has 90k miles & it’s beautiful shape
It will be a blast! And a lot of aftermarket support too!
The Dutch Texan any tips you can give me or anything important I should know about this year mustang gt?
@@lifted9577 just keep up with the maintenance. Also, check the mustangforums, they are a wealth of information!
Nice review! I have a '05 GT and LOVE IT!!! Like you said, it's 10 years old, but it's still so much fun!!! Mine only has 54,000 miles on it. So, it's still new.
And the lines are classic. And to be honest, I think it looks better than the 2015, which very much did away with the whole retro styling. I guess it is necessary to move on for the future of the mustang. But the first gen S197's are definitely some good looking mustangs and will age well.
I found a 2005 GT in mint condition with 11k miles on it. I’m considering purchasing it. How much do you think it is worth? They are asking for 14k. I think that’s way too much.
What i love about the 3V 4.6 and 5-speed combo is the cars are so understressed and insanely reliable. Good thing you didn't go with a Mini, that would be a reliability nightmare. I'd imagine the engine has been trouble free? What mileage are you at? And what kind of MPG are you getting?
I drive mostly highway at 70mph and I get 23 mpg
I'm currently saving up for a 2005 mustang gt. I'm suddenly in love with a car I don't even have yet. I'll reply right back here when I get it!
You'll have a lot of fun with it once you get it! The coyote might be the more potent engine, but a 3v is not a slow car at all. It can get you in plenty of trouble for sure!
Did you get it?
@@edgarvee1104 i did not get it :(
Keep working towards it, one day you will make it!
I have a 05 4.6 V8 GT automatic red leather interior fireRed metallic paint with 24,600 miles.
never seen rain or snow..
It's for sale because I'm disabled and can't drive it no more.
Larry Hunt how much are you looking to sale it??
My mustang leaked into the passenger footwell. What it was is debris clogged a drain hole in between the hood and the windshield and in hard rain the water would overflow through the cabin filter into my car. If you make sure that trench is clear of debris especially after leaves falling or pollen season you’ll be ok. I wish I knew before hand.
great review! i have an 06 v6 (im only 17) i enjoy it alot, its not fast haha but it has decent power, this body style is by far my favorite of the modern mustangs.
+ZortexDubstep | I am going to have to go and agree with your statement 100%!
I have a 05 v6 and I am 18 I have had her fir a year now and I have enjoyed it, she isn’t fast but I have loved it. I love the body style and the interior.
Buying this car for $1200 soon. Only problem is it doesn't start so I have to tow it back home and fix it up. Luckily I'm selling my current car I'm driving to pay for costs
Great review! Very honest and non biased! Brilliant!
I appreciate it! As of 2021 I still own it too! Love driving it!
The ear to ear grin started when I test drive my 2007 GTCS and continues daily.
It's intoxicating to this day, even though it is obvious it hasn't aged well in the horsepower department!
thanks for your video. I'm in the market for a 05-07 and your comments helped! Prices are amazingly low. Probably bottoming out at this point. $9K will buy a nice one with 100K miles, which is not a lot of miles.
They got a way to go before bottoming out, but low mileage examples are going to be rarer as time goes on.
Awesome review. I had a 2007 GT in Redfire with the Light Graphite leather. I traded it in on a 2010 GT in Red Candy. I really regret that.
+green97probe thanks! And yes, I would have personally regretted that too. I think it was a downgrade to the s197 looks. And the fact it did not get a new motor did not excite me at all.
Love this video... I got my first Mustang 05...so much fun
Nice video! I'm a long time Mustang enthusiast and had an '07 V6 for 8 years until it was totaled by someone on their phone last month. I was able to get an '06 V6 in Redfire, and it is also a TX car (I'm in CO) and the door panels are peeling just as you mentioned.
This is my favorite model of mustang I hope to have my dad's one when he buys a new car
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
My dream car at an affordable price right there!
+Ender200 they are getting more affordable every day!
this is the type of review I was looking for, if only there were more reviews like this one.
Thanks for the props! I just did what I thought was right.
I'm 16 and about to get my first car. It has to be cheap I think I've decided on the 05-09 mustangs. They are very affordable (4k-7.5k). Are they fairly reliable? I don't have a whole lot of money for repairs so I need the number of repairs to be minimal. From what I've seen. They can make it to a very high mileage with out any major problems.
There are people that go well beyond 100k in their early s197's. I would suggest (as I did at the end of the review) to join and frequent a mustang message board and ask as many questions as possible. That way you will get answers from many early s197 owners and you can make a proper decision.
You will be doing repairs, and some might be costly. Such is the nature of a car with a little grunt that is getting older. Mine is 11 years old now and it's having some work done as I type this (brakes, gauge cluster). It will be a hefty repair bill this time. But, that is after all that time. Overall I don't think I have spent more than 300 dollars a year on repairs. But, it will only go up from this point on because it is aging.
+The Dutch Texan thanks for the response. I'm very enthusiastic about cars and anything I can do myself I will. I'm most worried about major engine problems that would be impossible for me to handle. Also I'll be sure to check the forums.
No problem! No matter what you end up with, you'll be part of the crew! Thanks for watching my video man!
remember...new driver is high on insurance not to mention that's a sports car which is also higj
Not sure if you're still looking for one, but I'd definitely recommend it. I bought one for myself when I was 16, still have it. Was going to buy a 2017 this year, but I ended up modding my 05 and keeping it. Can check mine out on one of my posts on my Instagram @averagetolavish . I think it's lookin' pretty good. Getting it detailed & maybe ceramic coated soon to bring back the paint to 100%.
😱😱dude. That color though. Is you exhausted stock? Because it is really load it sounds so badass. And sorry If didn't spell exhausted right.
Don't worry about it, I knew what you meant! And yes, that is 100% bone stock! I'd say it broke in well, it seems louder now than it was when the car was brand new!
Nice review. I'm actually picking up my 05 gt premium tomorrow, nice red with black racing stripes.
Nice! Have fun with it, I know you will though!
+The Dutch Texan It's amazing, loving the power, very fun car. Even with a 2005, it's still making heads turn. lol
Excellent review! Just got my '07 GT 5-speed back in August and love it to death.
+RCGCarReviews They are cool cars, that's for sure! And the soundtrack, even with the stock pipes, is amazing!
Couldn't agree more!
over here in Ga its geting cheaper but i want one tho
They are pretty nice looking cars, not the fastest, but still a load of fun!
Yeah, my grandma has an 09 GT (yes, I did say my grandma) and the door panel came off while she was driving. It was in 2011 when we had a really bad heatwave in Houston. I think she actually got it replaced for free because it's such a common problem in these cars though.
I was out of warranty. Still shoddy from Ford they made a door-panel that lasts just past warranty in my case. Classic cars have original door-panels from the 1950's!
i have this same car and color but in a convertable. it only has 32k miles. once i learned to drive stick i knew this was the car for me. my door panel upholstery insert things did peel off and i had to repair it, but my guages work just fine and im hoping it stays that way!
vengancetastesgood my wife used to own a 07 GT/CS convertible, but that was an automatic. I love the styling on that car but I did miss shifting myself. That car was long gone when I started this RUclips channel otherwise I would have made a video on it.
I love every Mustang. My first and only car is my Foxbody. Never going to sell it.
I just spent a pretty penny getting mine back 100%. I should be good now for quite a few worry free Mustang miles!
+The Dutch Texan Some of my favorite cars. I haven't decided if I should get a 69' or 07' next.
Welcome to the world of cars... Where the wants are plentiful, but the choice is but a few! Love the '69 fastbacks, my favorite body style!
I'm getting an 08 mustang today
I can't wait to get the car
been my dream car since I was a kid
+Golden Retriever congratulations man! I know you are going to have a blast driving it!
The Dutch Texan
Thanks I knew I'd love it when I first saw it
I'll settle for nothing else
Your mustang is beautiful I think the 2005-2009 was the best
I agree! But I am also biased... LOL!
Why year in particular do you think is the best though?
Right now? If I had the coin to spend on a current generation it would be a 2014 GT500 with track pac. Old ones? Every year has it's charm so the list is never ending on that... 64-66 coupes, 67-70 fastbacks, 71-73 sportsroofs, 78 King Cobra's, 79-85 hatch fox's with the pace car front bumper (or lower). After that nothing makes my heart beat faster until the new edge mach 1's or cobra's. 2005-09's look great, but they missed the beat till 2013 and 14. The current 2015's are ok, but the one to wait for has to be that flat crank V8.
Look at me going off on a rant... Hahaha!
i have
Are we talking current gen ponycars or old school muscle? Because when I hear muscle-car I think old school muscle like torino's, chevelle's, impala's and the like.
I love my 05 GT. I have added a few parts to it and I love this car. Mine is a convertibole...IF (I were to attemtp :))i took it out for a ride, it will do very close to 145. ...IF
My wife had a 07 GT/CS until about a year into having our first kid. Then we traded it in on a 2012 focus. It was an automatic, but boy did it look good!
In the market, looking to get a mustang for the dusty time, based on the issues you mentioned, I'm looking at a year above '06 that is below $15,000 that looks mean
Find a nice cherry stock one with >60k miles and mod it to your liking would be my advice! It's always better to know what mods you put in your car rather than trusting what someone else has done.
You can find them pretty well in that range. I just got an 09 GT/CS for 18k.
I wish I had the GT/CS front bumper. I still got a GT/CS - GT500 rear bumper in the attic. Never got around to get it painted and installed. Perhaps someday... $$$
Great review! This is my favorite 21st century Mustang
+Webo thanks! I am pretty partial to her as well. But, I'd love to add a new GT350 to the stable. Hahaha!
I sold my 04 2v and now i have 2005 gt 5-speed i love it👌🏼👍🤙
Have fun with it man! I still love mine!
This is our family car and I'm planning to buy it from my mom to own it myself 😋
Do it! You won’t regret it. Great classic looks!
I currently own a 05 for the five months and a half now. I don't know what to do to my to the stang performance wise but I like to hear any recommendations. Great review man
+BoneZ thanks for the props.
As far as performance, just as long as you realise you will not touch the coyote V8's even with full boltons I would suggest checking out mustang forums. You can go N/A, you can go F/I, there are so many paths you can take. And in the end, it's all about how deep your pockets are!
+The Dutch Texan Thank you
One of the best reviews on a car I've seen Great job brother God bless
Thank you Kenny! It was my first car review ever too! So it will always be special to me.
My sister drives my dad's old 05 impala and when he had it the passenger side had a little water leakage but we got it fixed really quick and it's been fine since. It might just be 05 year molded cars lol.
I just call it coincidence! I would have hated it if I got that water leak though!
The car had about an inch of flood water in it from a flood before the leak so we didn't mind that much
Thanks for the review. Great job!!! About to purchase my first ever Mustang, 2006GT
Have fun! And get yourself on that mustang forums if you haven't don that already! :)
How do you like yours so far?
Just let you know that I did buy the 2006 GT. It is AWESOME!!!! :-)
+Paul B congratulations! You'll have a lot of fun with it!
Paul B Just be careful to NOT take turns to tight. That generation of mustang, can lose control due to flaws. But. other than that, it's a great car.
Thanks for commenting back man really appreciate it. Hopefully keep u updated on getting mine :)
I'm buying
My first car soon mustang for sure, 02-05 not sure yet been looking at 05's my dads a mechanic, has been for 30 years. But you mentioned looking at forums for problems with the 05's. I think il do that. Thanks for the video man.
Lincoln town car and grand marquis has the same engine.
In Dec 02, I paid 34k$ for my Cobra That barely buys a GT 5.0 now. Thats okay however, my Whipple makes it young at heart!
great video dude.
i enjoyed it alot
having owned a 2005 gt and now a 2010 gt stang
I knew a guy that bought a 2010, it was so much nicer inside than my 2005 mustang. It really shows how Ford has stepped up on their interiors from that point on. The new one is really really nice on the inside. I still think the first gen s197's look best together with the 2013-14 s197s
Nice car you have there, I have a 2010 dodge challenger that's supercharged and a 1990 skyline gtr.
Thanks for the props. And nice set of cars! You should film those sometime!
I've now got a 2007 GT thanks to your video!
I'm getting this for my first bought car (my real first car was a '99 Intrepid I got handed down to me from my dad). My mom is making me get Automatic so I won't go too crazy lol. It was hard finding one within my price range ($6000), but me and my dad haggled the price down from a used car lot because its been sitting for almost 90 days at this point. Great review by the way.
Thanks! And my wife used to have a GT/CS that was an automatic. Nothing wrong with it being an automatic. Hell, it was easier to get off the line than my manual!
You can get door panels without the insert for $150-200 and never have to deal with that again. All the roush mustangs had the panels without the insert.
Do you watch 2theredline? It looked like a mix between your vlog style and 2theredline's reviews :)
Loved it though, and I'm amazed at how fast it actually is, I was expecting it to be a bit slower and heavy
I actually did not know about 2theredline! Subscribed to him just now! I like car reviews like that, mine are not going to be too in depth though as I am driving and in front of the camera. I just can't do the whole narrative thing.And my stang does pretty good. I have ran a new edge (99-04) GT with bolt ons in 2008 and the edge went to mine.
Essa é a geração mais bonita do Mustang 🔥
Concordo! Eu ainda possuo hoje! (Google Tradutor)
Concordo.
O 2005 Gt Amarelo é Top.
hearing that the tech and speedometer go out kinda pushes me away from these cars now :/
It's an 800-900 dollar repair at the dealership (mine is still broken). I personally am not happy with it either. The later models have different stepper-motors in the dash cluster and are supposedly ok!
I had one just like this except it was a beige color
aged pretty damn well for a 2005
Agreed 100%!
Well I got the car and you were right I love it
Have fun with it! It's such a nice looking car imho! Just don't expect it to do wonders against newer cars, even a modded ecoboost will take you now. Hahaha!
The Dutch Texan
Oh believe me I don’t plan on drag racing it
I’d like to keep it as long as possible
Mine is my forever car. I am not going to get rid of it unless something catastrophic happens (which I hope never will).
The Dutch Texan
Mines the same
I plan to keep it till I die
Awesome review, and of my favorite body style, great job man
Thanks! I had a lot of fun doing that review of my car!
Are they reliable cars? I'm looking at an 05 mustang for 5k with 160,000 miles on it
As far as I know they can go far beyond 100K with good maintenance. But if it has been hot rodded it might not make it that far either. I'd beware of a car with that mileage, and expect some major maintenance items to come up. Check mustang-forums and ask the question, a lot of people over there have higher mileage mustangs and might have personal experiences to share.
im looking for like tht price but i want to get it by down payment
That's going to be hard at a reputable dealership.
just asking but do v8 2004 -2013 mustangs come with automatic
All those years have automatics for both V6 and V8 GT models. The only ones you can not get with an automatic are the GT500's (or the 2004 cobra for that matter). They all come equipped with a 6 speed manual transmission.
300 hp is not enough from a 4.6 litre v8
I know there pulling over 400 hp out of a V8 in the mercedes suv and it's a 4 liter.
I'm a teenager and I'm looking to buy a 05 mustang gt, does it cost a lot to maintain or how much am I looking at for insurance ? thanks for whoever replies ! lol
+Alex Summer insurance is something you can call any insurance company for, but it being a coupe, rear wheel drive with 300hp isn't going to make things cheap for a teen. Maintenance is OK, but they have their flaws that can come to light and that can be expensive (join a mustang forums, you will find many threads and can ask questions). I personally had to change a throttle body because it went bad. I will also need to replace my gauge cluster and have replaced my door panels. My brakes are gone at this point, but that is a consumable, same with tires. The stock pirelli's are gone in under 30k if you drive it like you should.
Getting my 2004 Mustang
+Hot Aranda those are nice!
Thanks bro i also like the 2005 Mustang
Thanks man! I love it myself! I wish it had the coyote under the hood though. That would make it perfect!
+The Dutch Texan nice how many cylinders is that Mustang
Mine is a GT, so a V8! (8 cylinders)
I laughed after the chevy slowed down in the other lane......ha!
Great vid for a prospective owner. Thank You !
+Dan Link no problem, it is my pleasure!
Great 1st review. Can't wait for the grand marquis.
That will probably be next! Either that or the 2012 Focus!
The Dutch Texan If you want to do a Kia Soul or a sportage, I may be able to get my Aunt and Uncle to supply the car(s)
I'd totally do a soul! It's the hamster car! Hahaha!
The Dutch Texan Yea! those TV adds. Those are some smart hamsters.
great review man!
And just going to buy myself this actual mustang model, found it at a Good, really Good price 💗😅
Have fun! It’s going to be awesome to drive!
I'm currently looking at an 05 with just 35k on it. So this definitely helped with that so Thanks!
No problem! I am glad my video was of some help to you! And at 35k miles she better be a cream-puff!
Good review buddy!
Would love a to own a Mustang but it doesn't make much sense here in the Netherlands..
would cost me an arm and a leg XP
I will never have a car that doesn't move my soul. It might not make sense, but if you can swing it it'll be the most fun you can have. Although, import and everything makes it twice as expensive...
2005 has a fantástic shape
I agree. The only thing better is the original!
I love these cars. I'd like to get one as a fun summer car but in Canada they are still fairly pricey. For an 05 gt with 100k kilometers people are still asking 15 grand for them. Oh well maybe I can come across a good deal eventually. Nice video by the way.
I know what you mean Callum. When I was looking for my Mustang I saw people asking well over 15 grand for like you said an 05. Insane. And lots of times they were beat all to hell too. Keep looking you will find the right deal at the right time.
Whats yalls opinion on a yellow 2005 gt. I found a killer deal and want to purchase it this weekend. It has black stripes going down it.
im 17 and going to get a car soon , how do i convince my parents to let me get a mustang 😭
Simple. Tell them you won't race, won't do burnouts and won't do anything else that young kids like to do with rear wheel drive cars.
You forgot to mention wrapping it around trees or mowing down crowds. :)
NATURALLY! How stupid of me! Make sure you get a red one like mine OP! It'll hide any blood splatters on the car!
so the dutch texan would you prefer this besides a 2002 mustang gt wich i own i think of an upgrade would i notice a diference nice review man do more do a 2002 mustang gt lol
I have ran a bolton 99-04 GT back in the day (it had intake, exhaust, tune) and the 2005 still beat it. It's better, but, the difference is not as big as the difference between the 05-09 and 11-14's. That 5.0 coyote just made mincemeat of the 4.6 3v.
My opinion? Unless you can buy the car outright don't upgrade and stick with the new edge. There isn't enough of a performance gap to justify the cost.
by new edge yyou mean a 2011 to 2015 ?
No, the new edge is the name for the 99-04 Mustangs!
ok lol so you would stick with a 2002 mustang gt v8 4.6 i want to upgrade to a 2005 pontiac gto 6.0 400 hp
GTO's are awesome. Never driven one, but you can't go wrong with that V8 under the hood!
Do u still have your mustang gt
Yup, still got it! It isn't going anywhere!
Wow that’s cool 😎
Well this is the car im going to buy. I got my license test in about 10 days, and am working my ass off to get an 05-08 Mustang GT, hopefully manual. To anyone in the future who reads this, ask me how I like the car!
Do a review on it after you have driven it for a while! Aim for a 07 and up car if you can swing it though! I do know you will have lots of fun. It's not coyote fast, but still.
I'll try, thanks for the tip. I will definitely put up some videos once I get it!
+The Dutch Texan Ended up with an auto v6 2006, engine swap or buy an 08-09 gt manual in a year or so?
Buy a GT. The V6 has smaller brakes, the rearend isn't a locker and so on and so on. The GT is set up from factory to handle the V8 power (although it could need some more mods to keep the wheelhop down... mine is still 100% stock and sometimes it hops like crazy from a dig).
Just enjoy the V6 and move up to a GT when you can!
unless in a very humid state
hey im getting cuirious about this type of car for my first car, how much would be a good price to pay??
I bought an 06 for around 5800 bucks.
To bad I can't post a photo I have a 05 same exact color it's called red fire. All I have done to mine performance wise is exhaust. Check it out on my channel at the drag strip. I agree with you they're so much fun but can get you into some trouble. Never knew about the door panels and passenger area...sadly I do know about the cluster..only thing that works out of mine is the speedo but I still love it. If anyone ever wants a mustang group or a place they can ask questions and to feel welcomed by the mustang community look up Pony up on Facebook we have a group and a public page. I joined them when I first got my mustang and to be honest they're really nice people and have become a second family to me.
Yeah, that cluster got to be replaced with a new one for me. I am holding off on it just as long as I got speed. If that goes I got to bite the bullet and spend $$$. And RedFire is one of the better colors for sure!
Yeah the speed is most important I want to replace it regardless if I ever get the chance.
Thanks for this review .
Thank you for watching!
I am wanting to get mustang, but I don’t have enough to get an 2014 gt. I can get 2008-2011 gt but I don’t like their body style, what should I do!! Would it be better to get an Ecoboast 2014??
The Ecoboost will not have what you want, which is the V8 sound. If you have a car I would hold onto it for as long as feasible so you can save up for the car you really want.
That’s the thing, I don’t have a car atm. I got in an accident with my truck. You are right I do want a v8 sound, but I just love the newer models mustang like the 2014. 2015 and up mustang don’t really appeal to me.
I want it as my first car, but should I get it Manual or Automatic?
I would vote for the manual, as it is a more connected driving experience! But an automatic isn't bad at all either, and you'll get off the line consistently too!
how many miles does your mustang gt have on it and how many before you run into problems
Some Mustangs are going on past 250,000 miles.
does anyone know if this car has an auxiliary port for music? In the stock radio
I can confirm that the stock audio does not have an aux. But my wife's '07 GT/CS did have that!
i have a 05 mustang GT with 55k miles, i love that thing! The Dutch Texan would you sell the gt500 rear bumper? I live near plano texas ill pay cash!$!$
Sorry, it's not for sale due to the fact it will end up on my own car sooner or later. Right now I have other priorities, but I hope to start modding my mustang by 2016.
Nice review bro
+Mel Amador Thank you!
this as a first car ?
I think that if you are responsible it would be fine! Just respect the fact that it is a V8 car with rear wheel drive.
aswell im looking for a 2005 btw im finding ones for 4k canadian with 170k v6? good deal or no?
I do not know anything about prices in Canada, but it doesn't sound like a whole lot of money if the car is solid. 170k miles is a lot, but if it is 170k kilometers that should have plenty of life left.
