Hey folks, at this point I think a re-introduction is needed. Back in July of 15 I bought a new ecoboost mustang. I loved the car, had it tuned by unleashed and put a decent amount of miles on it with zero issues the short amount of time I owned it. In November of 2015 I traded it in on an ecoboost F150 (the 2.7 is a stout little engine)
I still have my truck with no intention of getting rid of it, but over the summer I acquired a 2010 Dodge challenger RT. It's a nice car, but not that fun to drive, it's got 107k miles on it, and it's an automatic, which really sucks on those cars.
I found a 2017 grabber blue ecoboost mustang. It is base model, manual transmission. Doesn't have any bells and whistles, it has 9,800 miles on it, it was registered to ford as the first owner, and now it's on a ford dealership lot for sale. I can get the car for $21400. To me that seems reasonable, but I wanted some opinions on pricing. The real kicker is, they're giving me about $1500 more on trade than most other dealerships I've talked to.
Sine I've been out of the game for a while, I've been trying to do some research on these engines to see how they're holding up. If you follow the ecoboost page on facebook, it seems like 5 a week blowing up. I highly doubt it's that bad. But I would like some opinions on that subject as well. I do plan to do some slight modding to the car, oil catch can, downpipe, FMIC, tune.
All insight is appreciated. Ideally l'd like to buy slightly used, and not take a huge hit. I had 12k miles on my last mustang and my trade in value was $7500 under MSRP.
