Hello all!
I am considering a 2005+ Mustang vert with a V6 or possibly a hard top GT.
I can afford either the vert or the GT but not a GT Vert :(

I have been scoping out the dealers and they seem to have no shortage of
any of these cars which leads me to believe that price may be negotiable
despite the popularity of these cars?

One dealer has to have at least 20 Rousche models in stock, which seem
like a ripoff to me but what do I know?

So anyhow, I was also considering a pre-2005 car although I love the retro
look of the 05/06 models.

So my question is, as I understand it, the V8 is little changed from 04
but the V6 is entirely new and not the old 3.8 disaster that Ford used in
the Taurus and older T-birds? (Head gasket woes)

Is this correct?

As is usually the case when the body style changes, the pre-05 models have
dropped a lot in price on the used market.

Is there any reason not to buy one of these, say the 40th anniversary
model (if I can find one) ?

FWIW I drove a rental 2006 V6 vert a couple of months ago and was
extremely impressed by the car.
Smooth, fast and a lot of fun to drive!

Would a 2004 Vert V8 be similar or are am I comparing apples and oranges?

TIA!

(BTW what is this Rousche thing?)
