Thoughts on buying a 2003 Mustang Convertible

[mustangwannabe]

Considering buying a 2003 Mustang Convertible, V6 3.8L, 81,000 miles, RWD
Body looks great except for foggy headlights
Unsure how to tell about engine....any hints for me; or who could assess that?

Thanks!  Chris

Pretty stout engine. I've owned 2 '03 V6's. Weird though, I had to replace cats on both, 1 at 100k miles and 1 at 70k miles. Also the exhaust manifolds are prone to crack (I had to replace 1). Also, if it has the 6-disc CD player, they are prone to jam. Unfortunately I was getting good at disassembly and forcefully ejecting CDs.
