Hello,
I've never been a muscle guy. Mustangs and camaros look sweet and they have power like no other. I've however been turned off by the the horrid rumors about unreliability, fit and finish problems, car falling apart(bumper, etc) after a few weeks, etc.
My friend has a 2015 GT that he wants to get rid of and I was thinking of taking it. Before i can make a decision, i need more information from you guys, the mustang experts.
These are the specs of my friend's GT:
Manual
40,500 miles
Flowmaster exhaust
Recaro racing seats
Cai
Bama tuning
Custom stripes
Custom hood
Custom rims
Blacked out rear and grill
Orange exterior
No techs
How are the 2015 models? Since it is the first year model of a redesign, would it be reasonable and somewhat accurate to think that they are plagued with problems that got ironed out in the later models? Is 2015 a recommended or an unrecommended year?
Also, i heard the v8 has some deadly unfixable problem that once you hear a knock from the engine, it is literally on a time clock to its death. Is there a way i can know if my friend's v8 will get that knock, before it actually gets it? Reminds me of rabies. Once you get rabies and symtoms show, it is too late and you will die a slow and painful death.
How's the overall reliability of these beasts? Can i expect to drive them into the 200k's? Or are they more of a "get your fun and sell them off" kind of cars?
Thanks everyone. I absolutely love the look of the new mustangs and i do want to try a muscle atleast once in my life. I just am not sure if my friend's is the one for me.
