This is what I have so far -- I don't want to be too nice, but would like to be respectful -- if anyone has anything relating to their own buying experience, I'd be interested in hearing about it:
Hello all,
I’m shopping for a dealer who will sell me a 2015 or 2016 Mustang GT:
*It will be a one payment purchase -- no trade in or financing.
Wish list:
Performance Package, or less likely maybe spoiler delete and 3.55 gears no base 18” wheels -- either the optional 5-spoke foundry wheels, or (if a premium) the optional 19” wheels -- must not have a spoiler.
Guard, Deep Impact, Magnetic, or maybe Ruby Red. The brighter colors are totally out.
Not sure about, but think I want Recaro seats.
I would want any panel fitment issues addressed before taking delivery.
I would want to test drive a retail order before paying for it
Don’t wash my car (if a retail order)
No dealer stickers
No drilled front bumper -- I’d like to purchase a “Sto-n-sho”
What I think I want is a Guard base GT (300a) with Recaro’s (67G) and the Performance Package (883). I will entertain looking at a premium and want to see cars on the lot, but will most likely want a retail order to get just what I want, and feel like a base GT with Recaro’s and Performance Package is the most Boss 302-like car. That said, I’ve not sat in any of the new Mustangs -- I’d like to compare them and test drive before ordering, if one meeting my requirements isn’t on the lot (I’ve been watching Autotrader incessantly, and there have only been a few come up optioned the way I want).
I’m looking to do an outright purchase with no financing and no trade in. I am eligible for X-plan through work, but would just as soon not use that with combined rebates, and instead get an agreed on price in writing on the order. The price I want - give or take a few hundred - is $32,800 (GT 300A, PP 67G, Recaros 883) which is essentially the same as X-plan with $2000 in rebates stacked on top, for an out-the-door price with MD tax potentially under 35k -- or about 31,400 without the Recaro 883 option if I decide I don’t like them. So that would include fuel, destination and delivery, state tax, and advertizing assessment. Some dealers list a document fee of up to $600, which is illegally high in some areas -- I’m not willing to pay more than about $120 or so for that - if a dealer needs to charge that much for the document fees, then the price has to give somewhere else to keep me close to 35k out the door. I *might* be willing to come up a tad to get an extended warranty if you can match or beat Flood Ford’s pricing: https://www.floodfordesp.com/index.php
I live in Rockville MD, but I’m willing to travel to work with a good dealer who is willing to give me the deal I want - Ideally they would be able to get a high priority on a retail order or have what I want on the lot, and have a highly rated service department. Hopefully there’s someone within 50 miles -- but I’d entertain going as far as 300 miles if I’m convinced that’s going to be the best deal and experience.
