hey guys, I’m going to look at a 08 GT500 with 6 speed manual tran and 41,000 miles... Is there anything I should pay particular attention too? Any Areas that are prone to failure?
No mods, 1 owner and garage kept. Power seat works in all directions, air bladder lumber support works. Gotta check with the dealer on the air bags.Any mods?
The clutch should be changed out by now, if not it will be soon. If stock Goodyears, plan on dumping them no matter how good they look.
Typical mustang stuff...
Check the power seat motors, three of them. They can't be changed out independently. Gotta swap the whole ba$e.
Blend door motors. Air bag recalls.
I'd feel at ease buying a Mustang with the original tires still on, even if they need replaced. It takes restraint to go 41k miles on one set of tires so the car most likely had a good life. Congrats OP.

If you do Facebook, there are nice 2007-12 GT500s that come up for sale in Mustang groups. Im on SVT Performance and S197 Forum.
Having a sort of dilemma here on this topic. I bought a one-owner stock ‘08 GT with 21k miles on it. Had it a year and a half now. Put a CAI on it, tuner, put 3.73 gears, a short throw shifter and FRPP axle back mufflers. Love the car.
I ve got about $18k into it now and wondering which way to go next for my daily driver.
Do I put another $7k+ into a ProCharger stage II or trade this stock GT and some cash for a used 500?
This car was babied. I like the idea of a “sleeper” 08 with 450 horses but the allure of that cobra is undeniable. Any thoughts?
I have way to much money in my car. It’s supercharged with 465hp to the ground. If I had to do it over I would have bought the gt500. It was the thought of letting all money go at one time that talked me out of it before. I wouldn’t put anymore in it period take the loss and get what you want.Having a sort of dilemma here on this topic. I bought a one-owner stock ‘08 GT with 21k miles on it.

What do you mean by you've put $18k in it? Is that including the cost of the car?Having a sort of dilemma here on this topic. I bought a one-owner stock ‘08 GT with 21k miles on it.
