Default Traded the 850 Turbo

I appreciate all the advice you guys have given me in the past in regard to repair on my 95 850 Turbo. I decided after 155,000 good miles (costly repairs are here now) that it is time to let her go.

I traded the Volvo for a 06 Mustang GT.



Thanks again,


SD

Hello SDozier,

I only wish people pay more attention to automotive maintenance. 99% people I know neglect the owner's guide, thinking they know enough about cars. As a result, many used cars in the market are in hideous conditions, some of which are not worth repairing. I hate seeing people having car troubles when they buy used cars, only because the previous owners neglected maintenance & care.

I wish you the best of luck with Mustang GT. TLC it, and it'll serve you many years & miles.

Merry Christmas to you,


JPN

I purchased a 2006 GT. Red with red and black interior / 19 inch wheels. Very nice and pretty fast.

I have started looking for body kits and would certainly like to add the front spoiler, the side pipes, and the tail extension as opposed to the rear spoiler. Performance modifications will definitely come.

He got a REALLY good Deal they said it should have cost 6K for what he got.
The exhaust is all stainless steel. From the Headers back including the headers.
