I can't believe that it has been almost a year since I've joined ME, i've met a lot of great people and have learned so much. As most of you know for that year I didn't have a Mustang, i have been working so hard toward getting it, and it finally happened today. I finally got my first Mustang, a 2001 Mustang Bullitt. I figured it would be fitting to post here because even when i joined the forum a year ago i didn't even introduce myself, i just jumped right in.

Its in pretty good shape, and has just under 140k on the odometer. The first owner did mostly freeway miles and averaged about 19k per year so thats where most of it came from. I got it this morning, but was so occupied detailing it and driving it around everywhere that I completely forgot about ME and even facebook.

I know all of you are waiting for it, so here are some pictures, and i'm going to go to bed now, its been a super long day. I will take more pictures tomorrow using my dads nice camera, these are from my iPhone 5.

PS: I already did my first mod, the front license plate delete lol.

Great, welcome to the party. Also did you get the issues worked out on the price. How did the dealer help you out on the price?

Ended up $7744 out the door... I'm happy with the price and didn't have to haggle too hard.

Be careful tho.. Once you start the mods it's hard to stop! Lol

I know, i've already spent about $100 on it, had to replace the 3rd brake cause there was what looked like either corrosion or carbon build up or something, so i got a black housing/smoked LED one and replacing the rear side markers cause one was cracked with blacked out ones. Also got that new key so i have 2 now.

How much did the new key set you back if you don't mind me asking. I only got 1 set of keys with mine.

$80, but since my dad was the one pulling my leg to get it we split it. Our local shop was able to cut a PATS key and program it to go with our current one so we didn't need to get 2 keys. Works perfectly.

That's alot better than i figured it would be, now i've gotta get one. Thanks man, sweet ride btw. In my entire mustang obsession, i've seen exactly 1 Bullitt. Things are rare as hell, and have a cool color. Congrats man.

I want to start modding it, but being in High School making like $300 a month there aren't many options lol.

I have a saved search on ebay for used 2005-2009 mustangs and it alerts me when anything new pops up. I've saved a ton of money buying slightly used stuff over buying brand new. You can find just about anything you could possibly want on there. You could obviously do a similar search for 99-04 stangs or just bullitts alone. I've also scoured craigslist a lot and have found some good stuff on there too. You''d be surprised at how often people change their setups and want to just get a few bucks back from their previous setup.

Well also nice to hear of someone who worked for their mustang instead of their parents just buying them a 30K car.

It gets me mad when parents do that to kids. Just soils them. I'm glad to hear OP worked for his Bullit. I'm 19 and I bought myself an '01 a '66 and a '97 all V6's with hard work

Finally got my Mustang!!!
