THIS IS A FANTASTIC, FUN TO DRIVE CAR FOR NOT A LOT OF MONEY. IT HAS LEATHER RECARO SEATS, A HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINE AND A SIX SPEED TRANSMISSION.
My SVT has under 37,000 miles (36,113 as of 6/16 @ 10:03EDT but I am still driving it regularly). I bought it from an older gentleman (in his 60's....I am 58) who said that he'd owned it almost since it was new. I've only put around 5,000 miles on the car....I mostly commute to work on a scooter. I have been gentle with the car and I believe the previous owner was, also.
The SVT's interior is very good. I'm sure it isn't perfect but nothing comes to mind. It has leather Recaro seats up front with seat heaters. It has a glass sunroof. I'm not sure if the lighter/power outlets work---I've never used either of them. It has a CD changer (that I've never used) and, since the radio sounds great, I'm figuring it has an upgraded sound system.
The exterior looks good. The paint is very good. There are a few little parking lot dimples and there is some residue of what likely was overspray (inside of gas access door, on bottom bolt in right rear fender well, below gas access door....nothing on rubber trim and nothing I've seen elsewhere). This is noticeable only upon very close inspection. I got a "clean" CarFax when I bought it and I've had no accidents. The glass is all fine. It has fog lights. The bumpers and side skirts are in very good shape. The headlight lenses are cloudy.
Mechanically, the car is in very good shape. The engine accelerates smoothly. The (6 speed) transmission shifts well. It drives straight and stops straight. The clutch engages early in it's travel and seems fine. The tires are good. The check engine light has come on a few times with a code indicating the car isn't heating up fast enough (P0125). This is, apparently (based on my Internet research), a common issue with the SVT. I have put a piece of tape on the lower grill to block air flow and that, along with the Florida summer heat, appears to have taken care of the problem...for now. When the summer is over, I believe it will need a new thermostat. In the meantime, the engine heats up properly and attains (according to the Temperature Gauge and the Oil Temperature Gauge) normal operating temperatures....it just, I guess, sometimes takes longer than the computer thinks it should.
The tires appear to be good. The rims are good (I have no doubt that they are not perfect).
I have had no mechanical issues except for: 1) The code (see above) 2) The "door open" indicator light staying lit. Following instructions I found on the internet, I sprayed some cleaner around the door locks and that fixed it. 3) The front windshield wipers don't park (at the bottom of the windshield) on their own most of the time.
The a/c blows cold. The previous owner reports having had the condenser(?) replaced. I do have at least some of his records. Besides an oil change and cleaning the door-close sensors, I haven't had to do anything.
There is some wrinkled paint on the exhaust(?) manifold.
Please feel free to email me questions.
Because it is used, the car will be sold "as is". I will be available for a shipper to pick up after payment in full has cleared. Buyer is responsible for shipping. The car will be available for pickup during the day in downtown West Palm Beach---a few miles from the local airport, PBI. I am not available to pick up the buyer at the airport.
I have clean title in my possession. The car will have to be registered in the name of the new owner if it going to be driven off but I would deliver it, after payment in full has cleared, within 50 miles of downtown West Palm Beach.
Since it is used, the car will be sold "AS IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS".

2015 Ford Mustang specs revealed, GT to pack 435 HP
Thu, 17 Jul 2014The 2015 Ford Mustang sounds great so far - at least on paper. Ford has just announced specs for the latest version of the iconic pony car in Dearborn, telling Autoblog that it will pump out as much as 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter V8.
Those gaudy figures power the naturally aspirated GT model, and they easily eclipse the "more than" 420 hp and 390 lb-ft that Ford originally estimated.
The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 320 lb-ft, and it's the first turbo Mustang since the 1986 SVO.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
Ford Mustang, F-150, Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator recalled
Wed, Apr 27 2016The Basics: Ford will recall 201,900 examples of the 2011-2012 F-150, 2012 Expedition, 2012 Mustang, and 2012 Lincoln Navigator. The affected vehicles have the 6R80 transmission. Of the total, there are 84,000 of them in the United States and 17,900 in Canada. The Problem: The output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame can force the gearbox to downshift into first gear. If this happens at high speed, it could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. Injuries/Deaths: There are no reported injuries, but Ford know of three accidents related to this problem. The Fix: Dealers will update the powertrain control module software to eliminate the problem, and they'll also replace the transmission lead frame. If You Own One: Ford will begin notifying affected customers by mail on May 23.

Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall and customer satisfaction program for certain 2011-2012 Ford F-150, and 2012 Ford Expedition, Ford Mustang and Lincoln Navigator vehicles in North America to update powertrain control module software and inspect for certain diagnostic trouble codes Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 202,000 2011-2012 Ford F-150, and 2012 Ford Expedition, Ford Mustang and Lincoln Navigator vehicles for a potential issue with the output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame. Under certain conditions, the transmission controls could force a temporary downshift into first gear. Depending on the speed of the vehicle at the time of the downshift, the driver could experience an abrupt speed reduction that could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. This condition could result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Ford is aware of three reports of accidents and no injuries related to this condition. Affected vehicles are equipped with a 6R80 transmission and include certain 2011-2012 Ford F-150 vehicles built at Dearborn Truck Plant and Kansas City Assembly Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through March 9, 2012; 2012 Ford Expedition vehicles built at Kentucky Truck Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Dec. 19, 2011; Ford Mustang vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Feb.
