Mustang: They Never Disappoint

I owned a 2010 Mustang before this one and loved it. However, I wasn't the biggest fan of it's manual gearbox--it felt slow and it wasn't smooth. I bought my 2012 Mustang nearly brand new and it is extremely improved! This car is very quick for a V6. I have raced my friends 2014 V6 Camaro many times and blow it out of the water every time. I am more than impressed with its performance. It's also a beautiful design. If I go 67-70 mph freeway I have always gotten between 34-36 mpg--I know, sounds almost unrealistic, but it's not. I have tested it multiple times by dividing miles driven into gallons filled up with. These are amazing cars, indeed.
Beautiful Yet Unreliable Car For It's Day

The car in white, immaculately detailed, with it's classic lines made for a head turner all the five years I owned it. Great for straight line runs, mediocre handling in the curves, wonderful exhaust note. Good all around gas mileage around town and better on the highway. Stock Michelin tires prone to blowout at highway speeds (2 in under 23K miles) and gave good traction in wet conditions. Wonderful brakes. Speed limited at 112 MPH. Not the best as far as reliability with throttle body replacement at 20K miles, complete HVAC under-dash replacement at 18K miles, and front lower control arms went bad at 16K miles. This is an old school car that is lovely and fun to drive. The next generation that replaced It performed better but was even less reliable. I've completely soured on the Mustang.

Bang for buck a Mustang is never going to disappoint and I managed to snap up a 2012 GT Premium with only 1000 miles, and (as far as I can correlate) all the options barring the glass roof and California Special package. I've had it about 18 months now and got fed up with the sloppy shifter. Having replaced it with a Barton short shifter (and also replacing the shifter bracket with the Barton 2 post shifter bracket), it's a much better drive (this shifter and bracket are also sold under the Ford Racing brand, Barton has the manufacturing contract). I've had a few minor trim issues (e.g. button fell off the steering wheel), but no mechanical problems.
Still getting compliments wherever we go

All the value estimates at every major web pretty much set up the same. These sites are all perfect for estimating the value of the normal everyday car purchased from a dealer except for a few important things that aren't covered. For instance how do you check off having to have the engine replaced at 15,000 mi on a car you have for sale with any odometer indicating 55,000 mi.? How do you check off that you purchased several expensive performance packages for better power, control, millage, safety ect.? There isn't any where to figure these in. This list is not all inclusive and i believe there are allot of car owners with similar situations. This is the situation im in at the present time. So in using one of these webs they can only help provide foundation price the rest is guess work and left up you.

Fun Until Parts Start Breaking

This is a fun car. Great acceleration and top speed. Hugs the road nicely. Car looks and sounds great! I've had this Mustang for 5 years now. Struts started going out after 3 years, I still haven't fixed that. The A/C and clutch broke very soon after the bumper to bumper warranty ended. Cost about $1,500 to fix. I went online and this was a common issue in the 30,000+ mile range. Now, right after the 5 year engine warranty ended, the water pump is going out. Replacing that and the hoses is going to cost me another $1,000 if I do it at a dealer. WARNING: Worst of all with this car. If I had know this I wouldn't have purchased the car. The heat in Arizona is hard on batteries, once you get acid on the battery cable, it will get inside the wiring and slowly eat its way through everything until all your electronics are burned out too. Luckily I caught it before it damaged anything. It's a special cable that you can only get from the dealer and they have to drop the transmission to replace it. $1,000 to replace that. I asked the dealer and a local about other options and how to avoid it in the future. They said this faulty cable is the only option on the Mustang, and you can only slow the problem down, but that I'll probably be back in in 5 years with the same problem. ITS A BATTERY CABLE! I love driving this car but I'm tempted to sell it and never look back. A battery cable should cost $20 and be a do-it-yourself project, not some $1,000 ordeal.
