Default noob looking to get a GT needs advice
Hey, folks. Noob here looking for some pointers for purchasing a 2001-2004 GT.

What are some things to look out for?

What are the problem areas for these models?

TIA!

It's a 01-04 man, as long as maintenance was routine you shouldn't have any problems. Especially if the car has under 100k miles. First thing I'd check was the odometer.

Just wanna use it as a daily driver. Don't want to mod it out too much maybe except for a new exhaust system. Want to keep it close to stock as possible, but we'll see how long that lasts!

A few more question for now, I really like the Bullit rims, what was the first year that the Mustangs had them? How popular are they? What kind of mileage should I be expecting from the 4.6?
