used car of the day 2008 ford mustang bullitt

I have a soft spot for Bullitt Mustangs, and this 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt that comes to us by way of New Mexico has piqued my interest.

It has a salvage title, so that raises a red flag, but the seller claims to have all the necessary CarFax info and that there was no airbag deployment.

There are 81,000 miles on the car and it's daily driven.

The seller has listed mods such as Ford Racing cams, a Ford Racing driveshaft, a tune, BBK headers and X pipe, upgraded mufflers, short-throw shifter, cross-drilled rotors, carbon-fiber duck-tail spoiler, and uplevel audio.

The car also has new springs, struts, shocks, and idler pulleys.

There are more -- you can see the full list here.

The seller also has the stock parts.

Check it out here.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

That creep Patrick S. Tomlinson @stealthygeek forever ruined these for anyone who’s had the misfortune of stumbling across his lunacy
his has a salvage title just like this one but about 3x the miles and is in desperate need of new seat foam. He’s fat, you see.

Redapple2 911 is my dream car. Some day ........... I can predict, it ll be ICE only tho.
Redapple2 1- XM- I like the hosts, themes of the day.2- CD player. Nice to have. Dont use it as much as I thought I would. 200 cd over 35 yrs3- my 18 Forester had a feature. Push the button and It would find the strongest 15 stations. Nice when driving distances because the weaker stations get weaker 50% of the time. Another ~25% stay weak the entire 15 minutes and fade out. I can count on the strong station staying strong for 45-60 minutes.
FreedMike Makes me nostalgic for the Golf. Otherwise, it's a cheap old car with engine problems.
Theflyersfan Body is in decent shape and interior looks to be in excellent shape for a 21 year old (sigh...feeling old now) VW but the engine issue is a major pause. Unless one is sound with wrench, this might be a pass. It could be a cheap winter beater with some snow tires and a "who cares?" attitude with the body. Or get this ready for Le Mons.
Wolfwagen When traveling for business once i get my Rental I use my phone to google the local AM talk radio stations (not NPR) and program them. FM I check out the presents first, then use the seek function to reprogram the presets as needed. My Honda Odyssey used to have a button you could push and it would reset all the presents to the strongest signals
