2000 Ford Mustang 2 door Coupe Gold Package from North America - Comments

I had a short in the headlight assemble causing the headlights to go off going down the highway.

My air conditioning quit working, the switch went bad.

The inner guard for the right rear rotor came off, this was the first 3,000 miles.

I went to change my oil at 5,000 miles and noticed transmission fluid so it went back to the shop, they put a front seal in fix to it.

I did a 10,000 oil change and my transmission was leaking so back to the shop it went. They took the transmission back out, put new seals in, put the torque converter under pressure - not leaking so they put a new pump in the transmission just like Ford Motor Company told them to do, they put the transmission back in the car, they test drove the car 20 miles and checked the transmission and yes, it was leaking.

The car has been sitting at the dealership for three weeks now. Maybe they got the window down on the driver's side and cannot get it back up and fix it 'NOT'.

I cannot get the dealership to work on my car, they said that Ford Motor Company has to call the shots now. Ford Motor Company says it's poor workmanship from the dealership.

In the 7 months the car has been in the shop, I think the bulb has burnt out.

Very poor workmanship on Ford's part, they didn't tell me I had to buy two Mustangs so I would have a spare why the other one was in the shop. While Ford is making their mind up who is going to fix the car, I had other Mustangs, but this is the last one. Still waiting for Wellston Ohio.

You should have bought a "real" mustang! Next time, buy a Saturn if your looking for a womans car.

I agree, if you are going to buy a Mustang, you have a few options... GT, SVT Cobra, Rousch, or Saleen. Yes, you've guessed it, none of these use the 3.8 V-6!!!

I don't agree with the people that have left comments. They say that he should get a "real mustang", well, here's a question for whoever wrote those reviews. Did you, by any chance, see how many of the GT Mustang owners that had A lot of problems out of their cars? Also, money doesn't grow on trees and the GT Mustang may be out of some peoples' reach, including me.

I am another one in Wellston, Ohio having a lot of problems getting my 2000 Mustang fixed as well. I know what you are going through. Torque converter, fly wheel, rotors, motor mount, tire rod end, ect so called fixed once now out again. I go in again 9/7/02 to see what they tell me now.

I disagree with the "get a real Mustang" comments! Ford has always made a v6 and v8 Mustang option. This reminds me of the silly Harley guys, "Sporsters are a womens bike." When a Sporster is the longest running model in the H-D line up. More v6 Mustangs are sold than the v8 models. This allows production $ for all Mustangs. Its Ford against every one else not Ford against Ford. Relax, enjoy your car.

P.S. My 1999 v6 5spd is still solid after 40,000 miles.

So is my Softail!

Maybe your problem is that you bought an automatic. A 5-speed wouldn't have you in the garage. Also, if you lived in NY, you could have gone to the State and gotten the dealer to fix you up. In NY it's called the LEMON LAW. It's gotten a lot of people new cars. Have you checked in Ohio?

I strongly disagree with the comment about getting a real mustang. Just because a mustang isn't a GT, Cobra, or Mach 1 doesn't mean you can't put some nice add ons to it. After you add what you want to your car, you can still end up putting down less money and getting better horse power out of it. Plain and simple, just because it's a v6 doesn't mean it's not a mustang.

Hi.

I had V6 3.8 for a year and put over 43.000 on it, never had problem with mine 2003 v6.The other good thing about v6 you car really drive it in snow days better then GT, Cobra or Mach I. Then few month ago I exchange my V6 for 99 Cobra with only 15.000 on it. Sweet deal, many people don't understand what is the difrence with those cars, some people would say v6 is not good. Others would say Cobra is awsome because it has over 300hp. That is true, but mine cobra was dyno it at 279 stock. I like my cobra and put a lot of modifications to make 320bhp like ford promised, and also ad some Racing stripes. Car looks really good now. I will tell you what is the difrence betwene v6 and v8. If you have v6 people will just look once, but if you have v8 people would turn their heads to see it. That's the big difrence, who will agree with me??

All you V6 hating losers really need to move out of your parents' house and get a life. I drive a 5-Speed V6 convertible and have nothing, but good things to say about the car. If you wanna complain about my car please feel free to send me a check for the $3000 dollar price difference between the base and GT as well as another $3000 every year for NYC "under 25" insurance. I buy a car for myself and not to curry the approval of some internet e-losers. And BTW, even if you have a GT, if it's an automatic you're nothing, but a poser who can only steer the car, or a spoiled brat with a rich daddy. Bah.

I am very pleased with my 2000 Ford Mustang. I bought it used with 107k miles on it and it hasn't given me any problems so far. It really suprised me as far as performance goes for a V6 Mustang. I raced a 98 Pontiac TA with a 350 and I out ran it. As far as I know the car is bone stock. I can get 94 mph in 3rd gear. I can't wait to see how it runs when I add exhaust, cold air intake, and a chip.

To comment 21:08: V-6 Mustangs are grossly UNDER RATED. I've owned 7 Mustangs and my last was a 5.0 H.O. V-8. I now drive a 2007 V-6 and it is faster than my 5.0 was 0-60 and gets WAYYYY better fuel mileage. The insurance is also just pennies more than for a boring compact, while the V-8 insurance is outrageous.

I got a kick out of my nephew when he test drove a V-6 back in 2002. He thought it was a V-8 until we looked under the hood.

I just installed a BBK cold-air induction unit on my 2007 V-6 and it was very inexpensive, easy to install and did NOT require a computer reprogram. If you add a chip and dual, free-flowing exhausts you'll have a real screamer.

I go to Mustang shows, and at one recent show a guy had a like new 2000 with just over 210,000 miles that had never had ANY repairs. They are bullet-proof reliable if you take care of them, use full synthetic oil and NEVER allow the engine to overheat. Enjoy yours!!
