Keep pushing (and suing) until you get some justice.
unfortunately, the 2005 first year model had problems.
That's why i never buy first year new models.
I hope you get your situation resolved.
Ummmm, WHAT?
First, how does a dealership overcharge you by $7k?
Second, how did you let that get by you?
Third, I don't suppose this had any impact on your desire to have your money refunded?
in this reply about my front end clunking and
drivetrain vibration.

Pony's are sprouting up everywhere, but GT's remain relatively rare, esp. w/ manual (why would anyone get an auto trans, unless female?). See a lot of 18" wheels, round spokes, (I have the 17" solid aluminum wheels), and too many add-on chrome wheels, as if the ignorant couldn't leave well enough alone.
I honestly believe this is most car money can buy, so ... uh ... stop your belly-aching. If you can't stand the heat, don't go into the kitchen. If you can't handle 300 HP w/ a manual, get a Honda. :shades:
Good Luck, I have the same issues with my 2006. Plus many others. The car has been in the shop for over 50 days since I bought it last October. I tried the lemon law stuff, but it just went to arbitration and all I got was a little better warranty. For a car that I was so excited when I bought it, I hate it with a passion. I pray everyday that I go down the road that something catastrphic happens to it. I have been to 3 different dealerships, local area managers, district service managers and heaven only knows how many FORD CUSTOMER I DONT CARE PEOPLE.
Such a pretty car and such a freaking LEMON!
No problems, runs like a dream.
The only problem I have had is those nose marks on the windows when I park it in public ;-)
I just submitted my "Lemon Law" paperwork today. Please do not purchease a Ford Mustang unless you enjoy problems.
but, i read plenty of other hard core mustang forums and I havent heard of your headliner problem.
Also, buying first year production models can be very unsatisfying until the mfg line works out the kinks.
I have an 06 and havent had any problems.
I hope you get resolution.
Racing stripes are even worse, make the car look like a skunk.
A hood scoop is nothing but Liberace.

Find a knowledgeable tuner who can remove the throttle lag and at the same time get a Cold Air Intake and add 25hp to your pony.
Ford purposely slowed the car down and there are a lot of hidden hp tricks. Read some differnt forums that are actually informative with technical assistance and information.
I submitted my Lemon Law paper work last week. Good luck!!! :lemon: :lemon: :lemon: :lemon: :lemon:
Funny how Ford now has their own CAI. Go ahead and do it. You can always spend 10 minutes reinstalling to stock if you need to take it to dealer with a problem.
As for chrome wheels, I would not own any which were too heavy, as in unsprung weight not being a good thing, but if it matched the color of the car, and the look of the model of car, I could go chrome. Even if you think it is pimp.
Have you ever seen the Liberace car at the Imperial Palace. Now that is ummm, well, let's say something else. Maybe it needed a hood scoop.
