Friend is looking for a late model GT - need advice on how to help him get one

[Unit 5302]

I was super unimpressed with my '01 and '02 GT's. Both were big pieces of junk. The '02 had tons of problems, and I bought it brand new so I know nobody messed it up before I got it.

Random no-start condition.
Random chugging and smoking on start up.
Mach 460 stereo failure.
TR-3650 manual piece of shit failure at 17k the 3rd gear syncros were fried!!!!! (keep in mind, I had two 5.0GTs that I beat the hell out of that never gave me this many problems, and each had over 130k on them, the '01 and '02 I absolutely babied because I had no faith in them)
Power window motor failure.

BTW, I sold the car with 18k on it. Lost my ass on the car, but considering how many problems I was having with it, and how much money it was costing me, I never really had any regrets.
