About Me
In December 2024, I had been driving for about two months and started casually looking at potential first cars — just planning for the future. My dad had a rental Charger at the time since his Jeep’s battery was malfunctioning. One day, he told me, “You should look into Mustangs.”
I knew what they were, but I never thought much about them — I wasn’t really into cars yet. But after looking them up, the looks immediately pulled me in. On December 30th, we went to a dealership and checked out an EcoBoost. I didn’t even know the difference between trims at the time — I just liked how it looked and wanted one.
After joining some forums, I quickly got hit with the classic advice: “If it’s not a V8, it’s not a real Mustang.” That sparked everything. I started researching all the options, trims, gears, and features. After months of digging and waiting, we found an incredible deal on a brand-new 2024 Mustang GT Premium — listed at $44,900 with an astonishing window sticker for the spec it had.
We financed it through Navy Federal Credit Union at 4.79% APR, thanks to eligibility through my grandpa who served in Vietnam. The dealership originally offered 7%, so going through Navy Fed saved us a ton. They shipped it to us from Kansas City to Florida for FREE — everything lined up perfectly.
It’s the perfect daily driver spec: 401A for the premium interior, 3.55 Gears for the ideal balance of pull and cruising, Active Valve Performance Exhaust for sound flexibility, Brembo Brakes for serious stopping power,
and 20-inch wheels for a clean, aggressive factory look.
