Content
13.002 -> A V8 sounds nice, doesn't it?
16.219 -> The new Ford Mustang was introduced in 2005
as a modern interpretation of the '60s versions;
25.697 -> the fastbacks. It could count on good reviews.
It sold well in the USA.
40.762 -> We're not fond of muscle cars in the Netherlands
because we have to pay for every gram of CO2.
47.859 -> Still, some Mustangs ended up in the Netherlands.
This one got replaced by the latest generation.
59.661 -> You can order it at the Ford dealer now.
62.378 -> That means this car will get on the second-hand
market more for not all that much money.
70 -> I mean, they will get cheaper.
72.696 -> This model originates from 2005, but got a facelift
in 2010. The design and interior got better.
84.994 -> It also got other engines, including a 3.7 V6
with 305 hp and a 5-liter V8 with 406 hp.
95.619 -> Those were the better engines;
more economical, and powerful.
106.021 -> The older engines are good as well.
110.479 -> If you're looking for a Mustang,
you have a lot of choice in engines.
115.915 -> It starts at a V6 with 200+ hp and goes up 'til
the Shelby Mustang with enormous 662 hp V8.
129.178 -> 662 hp, that's a lot.
132.951 -> ENGINES
gasoline
141.153 -> Not all that glitters is gold, because the Mustang
does have some obsolete technology.
147.769 -> The live rear axle got criticized
by the press back then.
153.888 -> About 65 Mustangs are for sale
at the moment, all of them gasoline.
161.192 -> Some cars got LPG, so you could
keep your fuel costs in check.
167.812 -> It's American, so it's thirsty.
171.558 -> 71% of the cars on AutoScout24.nl has an automatic
gearbox, so you'll have to look hard for a manual.
182.352 -> 51% is a convertible, the rest is a coupe.
190.113 -> The Dutch cars usually have a lot of features.
73% has cruise control, 62% has leather upholstery.
201.217 -> You'll have to watch out, because
almost 40% has fabric upholstery.
205.456 -> You want leather in your convertible, for when
a seagull shits in it. It'll be easier to clean.
218.637 -> Prices start at 12,000 euros at the moment.
223.2 -> They go up 'til 50,000 euros. Low-mileage Shelbys
are an exception. Those are more expensive.
237.4 -> PRICES
minimum, average, maximum
247.302 -> There are things to watch out for when buying a
Mustang. Let's start with the reasons to buy one.
254.697 -> First: 'Murica. This is an American, awesome
and exuberant, which makes it fun.
266.399 -> You get a lot of power for your money's worth.
270.66 -> It's one of the cheapest possibilities
to drive a big V8.
276.871 -> At least, on the second-hand market.
280.968 -> What I like about all Mustangs is the
nice sound. This V8, but the V6 as well.
292.766 -> That's nice. You get a nice experience
for your money's worth.
298.261 -> That's a good reason to buy this car.
300.996 -> Now let's talk about the things to watch out for.
304.586 -> First, this car was developed with a certain
thought in mind. It has to be affordable;
314.391 -> a car which the US youth could buy.
321.116 -> The finish of the car shows this,
especially the pre-facelift models.
326.947 -> They may start to peep, squeak and
rattle, and bits may fall off.
330.92 -> Especially with the convertibles.
333.928 -> Especially the convertibles 'til 2007. They may have
a squeaky top, or one that won't open and close well.
343.553 -> Check during a test drive for sounds
and things that bother you.
353.157 -> There are a lot of things
that can peep and squeak.
358.738 -> Then there's a thing with the spark plugs.
362.217 -> The standard spark plugs may break
when you try to change them.
368.885 -> The first time, if you don't know if it still got the original spark plugs, get them done by a specialist.
376.38 -> He can fix it with the right tools if it goes wrong. At
home it'll be difficult. You may need a trailer or tow.
393.737 -> That's not convenient. Another
thing is breaking alternators.
399.737 -> It'll need changing.
A new one is about 300 euros.
406.582 -> The fuel gauge is another thing,
especially with the first model years.
414.897 -> Some grime may stick in the tank,
making the gauge malfunction.
420.02 -> It'll say the tank is empty,
while that may not be the case.
425.115 -> Sometimes it also gives an engine check light.
The only solution is to clean it.
434.095 -> That's expensive. You can avoid it by using a
cleaner fluid, but get advice to avoid damages.
444.196 -> Because the Mustang is popular in the US,
especially with the more youthful driver,
452.623 -> there will be a lot of cars tuned with turbos
etc. That doesn't have to be a problem.
463.165 -> It may void the warranty, but you won't
easily get that with a second-hand car.
472.718 -> It could've also been done by someone who doesn't
know what he was doing and cause problems.
480.989 -> Check under the hood and if the car reacts
the way you'd expect it to when driving it.
489.461 -> There shouldn't be strange
hitches or holding back.
494.707 -> Nowadays, we think ABS is normal, but
for the pre-facelift cars it's optional.
507.551 -> Keep that in mind as well. If you want ABS (most
do), there's a chance you find one without it.
521.318 -> Finally, the manual gearbox may cause problems.
528.568 -> To be specific, 6-speed transmissions.
They cause most problems.
534.429 -> There's been a recall for
a certain gearbox in 2011.
542.063 -> If you want a manual, check if all
gears are running smoothly.
547.474 -> It should work well, without having to press through.
This indicates wear and busted synchronizer rings.
557.62 -> That was a problem with the manual gearbox.
560.976 -> This car is a convertible. We're driving in
Dutch weather, so couldn't open the top.
572.26 -> You may not have seen the beautiful
red interior as much as you'd have liked.
577.28 -> It's a very pretty car. It's from 2005, a 4.6 V8
with manual gearbox; rare in the Netherlands.
586.605 -> It's for sale at
Autobedrijf Theunissen in Otterlo.
591.498 -> They have a thing for Mustangs, because
they have another grey convertible for sale.
597.337 -> And they have a very nice Shelby
convertible; black with red striping.
602.796 -> That's very delicious.
606.4 -> THIS CAR
619.952 -> Thanks to
Autobedrijf Theunissen BV
622.9 -> Subs - Maru
