My 2005 Mustang for $1,300

Ok so I bought another mustang (in addition to my wife's). BUT this was pretty much a deal I couldn't pass up. Since I'm driving the Saturn right now, I think that this will make for a better daily driver than the Saturn, and I have every intention of either dropping a 5.0 into it, or if I'm too lazy I'll just flip it for a profit when I'm done. And it's kinda cool cause it's the same model and color as my wife's.

Story is I had a girl trade this 05 mustang in for a Jeep. After much arguing with my manager who wanted to give her $5k for her car, I convinced him to give her $1000 for it. Had to replace the battery in her Jeep and since we weren't making any money on the deal in the first place, boss said he was tacking it onto the cost of the trade making it $1200. I get to buy cars for $100 over our cost, hence $1,300 mustang.

It's Satin Silver exactly like my wifes, even has the same black stripe and all. V6 Automatic with red leather. Now let's get into the bad. This girl was the biggest pig you've seen in your entire life. Here's some pics from when I first traded the car in.



The disgusting trunk








And yes if you're wondering, those are thank god unused tampons laying in the back.


Day 1
So after getting a ****ing mask and gloves, I start emptying the trunk out.


Yes that is her nasty ass old underwear and bra in the trunk



Along with empty vodka bottles, fast food wrappers, and more I found 9 of these in the trunk. Apparently she would just eat yogurt, and toss the empty container into the trunk.




Day 2
Moved to the inside. Let us look at how disgusting this ***** was.
The film of dirt on every inch of everything


That's not discoloration, it's a film of dirty nasty **** over it.


Yep, that black **** is mold on the leather


And yes that white **** you see in the back of all the trash, had some mold in the carpet.


I don't even know how the **** she got stuff down into the shifter.


So I pull out the extractor and scrub brush and hit the carpet with hot water, and some chemicals.


Day 3
Decided to get to work on some of the interior stuff. Let us look at the E-brake. Groce!




Not perfect, but much better.


Now lettuce see what made me almost puke. I start using a screw driver to chip the stuck coins out of the drink holder.

But one of the detailers gave me some all purpose to spray in and leave it over night.


I come back and find that some of it has drained. Oh great, now it's a sludge and where did the liquid go? Well I put some gloves on and start feeling around to find that there is what appears to be a hole in the rear of the cup holder. But it isn't. There is apparently and insert in there I didn't know about.


What I found under the insert almost made me puke.

So I took the wet vac and sucked it out, then got to cleaning.

They came out pretty good.

That is absolutely nasty. How can anybody let their car be that way.

I used to work with a guy and his car was so nasty that the bosses had to tell us to stop making comments about it due to "discrimination and hurting his delicate feelings" crap.

He had just enough room for the driver. Reminded me of an episode of hoarders.

...& my car is still like new & ALWAYS spotless...

I don't care what someone drives but for the love of all things good... have enough pride in it and yourself to take care of it and keep it half way clean.

haha! we agree?! (uh oh, we're in trouble!)
I can't even stand seeing a pebble on my floor mats haha.
People on here complain about keeping black cars clean, but i never will!
(I can't even stand seeing dealer stickers on new vehicles. That's disgusting!)

Do you mean the window sticker or the "Blah-blah Auto Dealer" they all seem they think you want slapped on? I hate those. My car isn't a billboard!

I grew up on a gravel road with my dark green truck. My California dust mop was my best friend, you couldn't make it down our 1/4 driveway without getting dusty no matter how slow you drove.

When I bought my 2016 Escape, they had a deal that if you left the dealer license plate and dealer badge on your car that you would get free car washes during your warranty.

Removed the badge and front plate immediately and the rear surround as soon as I had the real plate since the surround was holding the temp plate on.

I'll wash my own car before advertising for you. lol

Washed her in the wash bay at work! Also did the engine bay. She needed it. Love a fresh wash. Next weekend oil change, clay, and wax. Then she will be sleeping in the garage for the winter.

Hey there! Did you ever sell the 05?
Actually, no. Shortly after the last update I did on here my god son's parents got their car repossessed on xmas eve. So my Christmas present to them was that I gave them my daily driver (an ugly little Saturn) and I began driving the 05 as a daily. That was in 2015 I think so it's been over 3 years now that I've been solo driving the 05 stang. For my birthday in I believe 2016 my wife bought me a pypes mid muffler dual exhaust that went on the car and my step dad bought me a GT bumper to go with it for the dual exhaust.

Recently my window louvers came off but when I get them repainted they'll be going back on. It's been a solidly reliable car with ice cold AC. The leather has gotten super worn out over time and it just reached 195k miles on the car. It's made trips from Florida to Missouri and Maryland so it's put up with a lot for certain. Let's see if I can get some pics up for you of all that.
This is how she sat last May, nearly a year ago.

I haven't done anything at all since then. I find that without a back up car to daily I have less time to play with this one as she has to be back together at the end of the day. I did get a nicer touch screen stereo installed but that's about it.

I bought LED head lights for it recently. I moved to a super dark area with very few street lights so those will be going into the car in a few days, probably Sunday.
Wow! Some people are really gross! Great job on the clean up!!
