    05 GT with 110k on the clock. Its the nice blue gray color and is in awesome condition no dents or scratches! Its got htd leather too. What are the common issues with the 04+ cars? Is there anything besides the normal things to check if I test drive it?

    Drove it tonight. Wow night and day difference from my car to it. Steering is very light and has a real smooth ride.

    It has been at the dealer all winter so I am skeptical on how things hold up while not being used during the cold months

    Looked at it the 5th time today noticed the doors don't line up at the B pillar very nicely why would that be? Like the back ones stick out further

    Supposedly it hasn't been in any accidents. It's just the black pieces between the windows that don't match up the rest of the doors line up fine

    open the door and push up and down and see if it has play, it might be loose hinges, or check the pinch welds and see if there are grab marks from clamps
