Default Need advice on buying a 2003 Mustang

I'm looking at buying a 2003 Mustang (Deluxe Coupe Trim Package) off a dealer's lot. Its got the 3.8 liter, V6 with automatic transmission. Has anybody had any problems with this engine or model year? The research that I have done says that it should be a good, reliable vehicle. I haven't read about any problems with this model year. Can anyone give me some advice or anything that I should be looking for when I see the vehicle?

Thanks.

Make sure the transmission shifts smooth and right. Alson check the A/C.

Sometimes it is the owner before you that didn't take care of it......
