Mustang Buyers Sue Ford, Roush
07/08/2008 04:26. When you sell something as a "limited edition," you better mean it. But it turns out that a recent limited edition of the Ford (NYSE: F ) Mustang was not that limited after all. And now a group of angry Mustang buyers are taking legal action against the troubled automaker.

The car, which cost $59,000 , was continued in 2008 and another 100 were made by Ford and Roush Performance Products. That fact didn't sit well with those who had purchased the 2007 model.
