No word of a lie.
My friend had his own shop at one time and I was there once and there was a huge box of parts and I asked him what was up with that.
Apparently he had offered a better price for all the "extra" parts than the parts department at the dealership was paying, so he had a pile of brand new GM parts at a fraction of the price.
Buyer beware I guess.

In 2003, I bought a brand new Ford Mustang. I have heard conflicting information about how often I should change the oil - some people have told me every 2000 miles, others have told me that with a newer vehicle you can go up to 5000 miles. Can anyone clarify?

Every 6,000 km, which is about every 3,000 miles I would guess.
Interesting story by the way.
As an aside, I just purchased a shop manual for my car. I find them invaluable if you want to fix your own car and money well spent.
It amazes me the level of detail in this manual (4 volumes) as opposed to my old GM manual for my 97 buick (2 volumes) All in all, the manuals weighed 18 pounds (shipping tag)
