Exclamation Need help, about to purchase 2003 Mustang GT

I am about to purchase a 2003 Mustang Gt with 60,000 miles on it from a dealership, I am new to mustangs and glad to get rid of my grand prix, but I would like to know what some common problems with the model are so I can check and possibly get the price of the greedy dealers down a few hundred more.
Thanks for your help, and I'm looking forward to see other ponies on the road

Yes, the main problem with these Mustangs are the prices! Don't let the dealership rip you off! So tell us, how much are they asking?

Default Buy a Mustang

Aside from the aforementioned prices...I don't think there are that many problems with Mustangs given they are properly maintained.

The only problems I've had with mine after 86k miles...

Rear brake caliper sticking...The rubber boot had a hole in it, causing road/grime salt f*ck to get inside, resulting in the caliper not being able to slide properly and rusting itself together. It wore out my brake pads before I realized it was sticking.

Really, that's all. I do all my own work on the car, and keep an eye on things...and regret I paid extra for the extended warranty when I bought it...

My personal experience with my '99 GT has been trouble free.
