Pros:
I really like the look of it. Glad I spent the extra for hard-wiring to tail lights (invisible) and the optional remote control is nice to change colors or do special effects. I had a local car audio guy do the install it was the same as wiring rear monitors for kids' DVD players. The...
I love my convertible GT. Ecoboost would be more practical with better mileage, but like the old Boar's Head commercial goes - compromise elsewhere.
I had a S197 and got a WindRestrictor that easily went under the rear headrests and I ran a wire to a 9V battery to light it up. The new...
Do you have a signed purchase order, or did the just promise you one of their allocations? Laws will vary depending on what state (country?) you live in. It might be worth using a mental health day of Paid-Time-Off to get the car. If that's not an option, roll the dice and see if they do in...
I used the custom option to type in S650. It blocked me from using "Mustang", "GT", or any copyright they didn't license. S650 went through so I went with that.
Everything RJV15 just said is spot on. I've attached the pre-delivery inspection checklist here. Review it yourself and bring it with you. I did not have the underbody strakes (PP) attached and I had to request the front plate bracket even though my state requires 2 license plates (some here...
Nice. I went with Lloyd's Ultimat Floor Mat with a red S650 stitched in the center. I'm happy with how it came out, but couldn't get "Mustang" or "GT" as I guess they didn't pay to use those licenses for anything other than Shelby and/or GT500. That and the mandatory trunk pull strap and the...
Ford is motivated to advertise 486HP on the GT as a Challenger's 6.4L V8 claims 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque. For more information, look up Boss vs. Pontiac's Judge battles from decades ago. (Even a boss answers to a judge.)
I'm more interested in the $100 federal excise tax...
I can confirm my GT hood was elevating far too much for my comfort at highway speeds. When I did my first oil change I mentioned this to the dealer and they told me the hood latch needed adjusting. I have not had any issues since and it rides solid. If you're not comfortable with doing the...
If the BBL Fleet website is credible, it looks like the Mustang will only be available to order until mid-June. There are units out there on dealer lots, but if you've been on the fence about placing an order you might want to get it done or wait for 2025. Source document attached...
The summer tires on the GT PP are excellent at grabbing gravel and throwing tiny rocks everywhere. I went with XPEL Fusion PPF, rock guards and Hein's fix for the wheel well opening. I don't have any PPF lines and am happy with the protection. One could argue the price is halfway or more to a...
Wouldn't deleting this thread be a detriment to others who have the same questions about financing and credit? Why not just leave it here so someone else can search and find the suggestions/opinions found here that could help someone else? You can control your notification settings/email...
Keeping your "credit utilization" low is one of the biggest components of credit. You say you pay in full every month - that's great! Many people can't do that, and while you will have your purchases approved up to 100% of your limit, it's not without consequence.
When do you pay your credit...
Being knowledgeable about credit is a good thing, as is asking questions. Are you concerned about your credit score because you plan to buy a house within a few years? I love my GT, but I don't think it's worth going deep into debt for. You have a nice ride now and a loan rate that literally...
