In 2026 the pony puddle lights are available in the 401A and not the 400A

Decontenting by Ford. Somehow all the changes to equipment packages result in reduced equipment. Must be a coincidence! The worst example was deleting the B&O stereo from the 201A/401A High Package and forcing customers to pay extra for it.

Ok. The way you wrote that exchange read like you were saying they were deleted for '26 401A.
Honestly, we've all said they come with the 401A package about a 100 times over at this point, and no one is disputing it. Not sure why you keep commenting on it. I feel like We're just going in circles here.

I figured to not bother you folks until I closer to a purchase or an order but what the hell, I now know what I want. I got a brand new Dark Horse !!! Here it is:
It'll have to do until I get the big grey thing under it sold
There's a 25 DH nearby with a 6-speed that I will schedule a test ride in shortly. It's not the color I want or a dealer I want to be involved with but it will give me what I need. I'll scrape them off by saying 'I need to go look at a C8' which I don't. Initially I was thinking to load a GT but believe it or not my wife is the one who convinced me to just go get the DH. You take one shot at it make it a good one Ideally that's a DH 700A.
In the meantime I had that Olds out today and put a few miles on it. Hardly a burden, it's turn-key loads of fun that handles like it's on rails. Different century in any case. I think that in this hobby it's best to stir the pot once in a while.

Congrats.
I thought I had replied to this thread already, but apparently not. Here are my thoughts and advice, which are worth exactly what you paid for them:
- I had a DH (not premium, not HP, but six-speed) and really liked it, sold it to order and buy the last manual M3 which is a better car in nearly every way. But I miss the DH and think about getting another one...
- I've had a GT (not premium) and GT Premium (convertible) S550 both with manuals. The DH is just better. Even if you don't track it (I did).
- The Olds looks great, may I suggest listing it for sale on BringATrailer or CarsAndBids instead of FB or CL? You expand your market from local to worldwide, and you can set a reseve if you're worried about someone stealing it. There are a lot of people on those sites who will ask stupid questions and demand more pictures and then never bid, but it's only for a week and in my experience, worth the hassle.
- Absolutely test drive everything that you can.

Understand that, and the GT premium with 401A and active exhaust will provide plenty of performance during road driving. More than enough to get yourself arrested. Glenn

Well, I would not be opposed to a GT if I found the right one and absolutely it'll do more than I will ever need but ..... what the hell, why not a DH ? The difference is $$ is not necessarily my big concern.
I took my Cutlass out for a photo shoot yesterday, not sure I'm satisfied or not. I'll stick it on the local Craigslist as I've had good luck selling a couple of cars on that but Bring a Trailer looks like a good idea. I have the time to monitor the auction and it reaches a broad audience - excellent suggestion !

Car buying is not a rational exercise for people like us.

25 months on, and my wife is still reminding me of that! It's still in the garage and not going anywhere! Glenn

Well, the fat's in the fire now.
As I said I thought I'd run a CL ad locally as I've had good luck with them before attempting an online auction so I posted the ad this morning. An hour later I get a call from a feller in Michigan from ClassicCarDeals.com asking me if I'd allow them to list the car for me. A little Googling and Grokking and I said sure, why not. They seem legit and he explained himself very clearly, my BS detector did not so much as wiggle.
I am getting waaaay ahead of myself but have noted a 25 DH with 3K miles on it locally from Carvana that ticks off every box..........
Somehow I don't think it'll be that simple (but hope it is). I am 62 going on 5 - on the night before Xmas no less.
