I am getting a new car
|
I am getting a new car Should be on Saturday as the discounts and incentives require purchase by April 1. My car is described as a unicorn by the salesman. They are driving it out from Arizona. My Mustang GT premium coupe is a performance oriented car. I wanted the upgrades for performance and suspension including the performance pack 1, which comes with ten speed auto trans, and magnetic damping computer controlled suspension with adjustable modes for track, drag strip, normal or snow conditions. The hard part was getting in Ruby red, the closest color to my current candy apple red. Seems as the boomers age they prefer dull colors like metallic grey. Not me. I like bright red exterior and jet black interior. Like a Ferrari, but much cheaper to buy and maintain. So they have to get one from 400 miles away to find the options I want with my ruby red exterior. I still got $5750 in discounts and incentives, so I feel good about the purchase. With tax, license and transport, after my trade in, costs $43,541. Not bad as I use my car for work so some is tax deductible and can be depreciated. Finance for 5 years but I usually off sooner. The performance upgrades mean I do not have to modify it to get excellent performance reasonable cost. I may increase the size of the anti-sway bars as Ford did on the performance pack 2 which only comes with a stick shift. I have to see if it needs tighter suspension given the driving I doing these days... Too bad I did not get more for my trade, but I do not have the patience to sell my car privately with all the tire kickers out there wasting my time. When you are young you trade your time and energy for money . When older you give money for convenience and efficiency. Red mustangs for life... |

The dealer asked to trade the car I want is being difficult. So delays. If the deal is not there I can walk away and wait for a year or two...
