Congrats OP! Nothing wrong with saving some coin.
It is funny though that the over the last few covid years the prices for the same trim level today increased by $15k-$20K yet we are all happy when we see $1k-$3k in savings. LOL At this point lets take what we can get. 𤣠š¢
A GT/DH is going to be just fine for daily driving. I don't really think horsepower should be a consideration for daily driving? The fastest speed limits are around 70-80mph and even little Fiats and old Toyota Corollas can do those speeds just fine. For daily driving considerations, maybe...
You probably won't have to cancel and reorder at all, I think they just update you that your order will be a 2025 at some point if it isn't built and let you know of any changes made between the model years.
OP sorry to hear about this. Wow, dented by knuckles and not actually the trim puller tools. Ford must really be cheaping out on materials. Paintless dent repair will be your solution to get this fixed.
Yes and yes.
I personally have 8 stock rims for my mustang since it is a daily driver.
4 OEM rims have winter tires on and are on the vehicle right now.
The 4 remaining OEM rims are in storage and have summer tires on.
Easy swap out once the seasons change.
Taking the bumper off is pretty easy actually. Daunting task for sure and I get not wanting to break any tabs/clips by accident - but without removing the bumper to get access to the inside of the grille you won't be able to change out your pony badge.
At best, I would recommend a vinyl decal...
Glad you had a good experience. Just beware for sly tricks. Only advising this as I canāt tell you how many thousands of dollars my father has wasted on extended warranties, rust proofing, Chrystal Fusion (whatever the F that is) by going to the same sales guy he is āfriendsā with because āhe...
Statistics show that relationships with dealer sales people actually gives them an open opportunity to get more profits from you since they earned your trust and you believe they have a vested interest in your car purchasing experience. Beware. Itās a slippery path to be on. Even the finance...
The service warning message/icon might just be something Ford included in the new cars to get you back at the dealership faster. Is there a way to ignore/delete it?
Skip the dealer and head on over to Costco for some gas, a rotisserie chicken and a new Mustang! 𤣠Itās funny, but if Ford ever comes out with a Shelby version I will absolutely be ordering it through Costco!
Agreed. GT350 all day, every day over 13/14 GT500 or S650... but that wasn't an option OP indicated. I didn't want to be "that guy" to state the obvious choice!! š¤£
Tough choice but I think it just depends on how you want to use the car.
A 13/14 GT500 is going to be a great weekend toy and probably not lose much of its value since it is a Shelby. At 10 years old it is still depreciating but it is nearing the bottom of what it will probably be in a few...
OP I genuinely feel the same way, I was absolutely underwhelmed by the S650 yet was super excited for it when it came out. The value for the money just isn't there. I'm glad it is still around but I don't see much difference besides a worse interior design, stuck on tablet screens and missing...
Agreed, this is a muscle car per the guidelines established by Stellantis marketing dept.
Muscle car = V8 engine, manual transmission, rear wheel drive, advertising.
