    Y'all can laugh, but the car I drove before my 05 mustang was a 2012 Prius. Let's just say I'm very appreciative of my Stang because of that past traumatizing experience.

      .... Don't feel bad, 72 here and I too am looking for one of these. I'm an original owner of a 68 1/2 Cobra Jet which I bought when I got home from Vietnam and raced a few years in SS/EA. Being younger and not as able back then I sold it to buy a house. It's still here in Ct. and even if he did finally decide to sell it (I do call and check with him every now and then) I probably couldn't afford it. Anyway the 05-09 GT's are really nice looking cars, kind of partial here to the classic Mustang look I guess.

    Had a 2006 Mustang GT named Beth for my first car. Was the 2nd proud owner. I learned how to drive manual in this car as well. But I took care of her when I had the time to do so. She helped me learn how to change an alternator and battery as well. But I decided to sell this thing to someone who had the same face I made when I saw this car. All in all I had zero regrets buying this car. But I've moved on and passed it onto someone else who deserves ole Beth.

      @@delta.o7 yeah, a base delux coupe that's been dogged it's whole life. I'm a Ford guy through and through. Ain't no doubt about it. And I love that Ford now has a formidable answer for the venerable LS. But I love me some ModMotorMafia. There's no exhaust note on this earth that compares to a mod motor and I'm being deadass serious. I truly believe the 4.6 is the greatest sounding v8 ever built and that's part of the emotion I get when I sit down, hear that famous 90's early 00's Ford starter fire it up and then that unmistakable exhaust note. The 5.0 just doesnt have a great exhaust note. 3v premium gt vs 5.0 base delux, I'm taking the 3v all day. Love the sound, love the emotion. The 5.0 is better. It just Is, but it is also a lot of fun surprising people with what they think is just another shitty 2v or 3v. Id like to own a 5.0 s550 someday though. They're BMW territory price these days with superior performance.

    To anyone considering buying a 3 valve, I owned a 2 valve, 3 valve and now 4 valve. While I loved my 2v and 3v, in the long run the 4v is actually cheaper if you want horsepower and styling. For the price of Boost on your 3v, you can already buy a good condition 4v with with exhaust upgrades and not worry about stressing the engine. Also its frustrating if a 2v and 3v with basic bolt ons get their lunch eaten by a stock 01-02 LS Camaro, or sometimes even the earlier LT1 Camaro with bolt ons.

    The S197 has been my dream car since I was 10, which was way back in '05 when these beauties came out. I have to admit a large part of the reason was because I got to see and experience driving the vehicle in NFS Most Wanted - fell in love ever since. I plan on getting my Mustang within the next year and a half, but I'm torn between getting the 2020 "High Performance EcoBoost" or the S197 GT. Either way, it's great to see a Beautiful and well taken care of S197 on the net, and I must say you made it look absolutely fantastic. Good job, and hopefully when I start making videos they can be as high quality as yours.

    Great video! I've been searching for one myself and can't wait to get one. The perfect car for me would be Black on the outside with less than 60K miles with a black leather interior and HAS to be manual transmition. It also has to be a GT or GT Premium etc and non convertible. Im so stoked

Definitely agree on door panel problems, spark plugs. Also the coil packs are not to good. I replaced the coils with msd street fires. I also changed spark with ngk irradiums. Diablo intune, and k and n cold air intake. Pypes voilators mufflers. H pipes soon. The car run awesome with 83,000 miles. Im glad i got it. I have a vid of it on here.

    Good call on the plugs bro, the 2 piece plug is a MANDATORY part to swap out, that is the 1st thing I did on mine, i loosened it a 1/4 turn, then sprayed the PB blaster inside and let it sit for a day, that is a 100% guarantee they will come out with no problems!

    My friend, I am starting to sound like a broken record player but again, EXCELLENT video! I totally agree . . . GREAT CAR & don't worry about that mileage! I was under that type of thinking as well . . . 100K + miles = RIP car. WRONG!!! Proof? I did not start tracking my 2008 GT Stang until right at 110K!! So we are talking about sustained redline RPM!! Absolutely no issues whatsoever!! Trust me guys, Nate is correct!!! I'm now at approx 126K miles and I kid you not it feels just as strong as it did when I bought her new. I've always been good with regular maintenance from the start - a must. If you get a good deal . . . BOOM!!! Buy it!!

    I finally purchased a mustang after wanting one for years as a college student in spring 2021. I was able to grab an 08 V6 auto with 183k miles for pretty cheap. Other than a few common issues I overlooked when buying it, the car has been unbelievably reliable and I'd drive it across the country if I had to (even at its current 199k miles). Recently I've been interested in getting a GT of the same year model with a manual that I can keep and put money into to make it exactly what I want.

But it's still a happy running classic muscle, and it has no issues. I have a 2016 focus with 18k miles as my go to work car, this GT will be my weekend/fun car. It's got the 5 speed manual gearbox too as well. It will be my first manual. It's a really clean car and I know it runs strong and happy.

She is daily driven in the midwest. Yep even in snow and ice. I plan on getting a 5.4L engine as a replacement when I hit 250k since that is how long the engine lasts in this area. Although I may go for a 4.6 upgraded to a 331ci with super charger. personally I dont like the turbos. I may get a 2018 near the end of my payments for a daily.

Back in 2014, without any pictures to look at, I drove 2 hours to a Dealership that was selling an 06 Mustang with 19,000 miles on it. They brought it out & it was a Black Fastback with the Pony Package, I couldn't believe the Steal I got it for. Still have it today, & with even more American Muscle mods to put on it & with 158,000 miles on it, it drives just as great as it did when I first bought it. I'll replace the Transmission when it's time but I'm never letting go of it. The s197s are truly the best!!

    My dad got a Chevy Silverado in 97 and in 2008 it had 490000 on the original block. Unfortunately it got stolen so he gt another 97 with 60,000 miles on it and it now has 485000. I’m a ford guy but I do have some respect for Silverados. Cars will go for a really long time. The question is do you take care of it so it will keep driving

    Ive got an 08 Roush and I love my car. She runs head to head with the new 2017+ bolt on SS Camaro's, as well as cars making 430+whp. I even got the chance to run a 2012 Shelby GT500, and I have to say that I got him on a 40 roll ;) I do have the R2300 Roush blower, and it has treated me very well. The 05-09 S197 mustang is a future classic for sure.

    I'm a lifelong carguy, and calling machines "her/she" has always been weird. (Male personification is no better) Naming cars is weird too. In all honesty, I see both those things from girls more than anything.
    Nice car though. I'm an Old/Pontiac guy, but since Bob Putz and GM stabbed me in the back, I've been appreciating mustangs more. And you built a nice looking one.

    Wow.. No way, same here. Im 18 going onto 19 ( December 20th) and i just bought me a 2008 mustang gt too, i instantly fell in love with her as soon as i got behind her wheel. Her name is Stella and she is the best decision i have made so far. I cant wait to save up some extra money and start customizing the shit out of her. Thank you so much for all the help and advice you give us about Mustangs, im so appreciative that i found your channel because i would be so lost of what to put on and not to put on my 'stang. Btw, love your car man, Its sick!
