Howdy everybody. I am new to the S197, but not new to Mustangs, having owned several in the past. I have, for some reason, fallen for the fifth gen, and I have started looking for a GT model. Have looked at a few, including an '09 that was actually fairly nice, for the most part, but it was really just a bit more than I am willing to invest at this time. I have found a few more in my price range but, of course, they all have around 100K miles or so. There are a few things I wonder about, for example, the timing chain tensioners at that mileage. What kind of advice can you members give me when it comes to choosing a fifth gen? I am looking at an '08 with 115K on it, but it seems pretty nice from the pics. Thinking of scheduling a test run, so I guess I will see. At any rate, thanks for having me aboard, and I look forward to any advice.

Welcome to the s197 forum.
Can't help you with your specific question, but I have driven Ford products over 200K, & never did anything but oil changes..
