So the looks have grown on me, not so much the GT but the Dark Horse is badass.
It’s the touchscreen that I really don’t know I can handle: not only have I read it’s slow and unresponsive but what about glitches in the future.
I don’t need all that screen! Lol
Yeah I have heard of people having to do warranty claims to get the whole screen replaced. Just goes dark.... Can you imagine the cost of doing that out of pocket? The S550 is bad enough, the APIM goes out and its a lot of money. And the digital dash too...

I would buy a Ford ESP on an S650 just for the screens alone. I have one for my S550 (through Granger, great price) since I plan to leave the motor and trans stock. Once I get beyond the ESP period, all bets are off LOL.

I was kinda in the same dillema on mine. Traded my GT Premium PP for my Mach 1. Took a bath on it but I am happy with the car for sure... Only saving grace was I put a HUGE down payment on my GT when I bought it initially so I did have equity in it at least :) I don't regret it :) The Mach 1 is so much more car :) And I wanted back in a manual and knew I wanted the Tremec. I looked long and hard at Dark Horse but I still am not sold on the look, or the new fancy electronics. The S550 is plenty fancy for me :)
I can get this brand new 24 DH premium for $4k off sticker. We do security for the dealership.
What do you guys think?
1 calendar year old and not my color of choice but a pretty good deal.

I personally am not a fan... But I'm not the one on the paperwork :). It is a nice color combo though..
Yeah, I’m probably going to continue to be financially responsible and just stick with what I have.
Winter is making me really bored though! Lol

Yeah some days I wish I did the same, but nothing Mustang related I have done has been financially responsible EVER :), its definitley a WANT and not a NEED. I would have had my GT paid off probably by this fall LOL :) BUT, its an addiction :) I guess its better than drugs :)

You see though, what happens when you have it paid off is you do what I did and get a second one. You’re right it’s an addiction. :)

Personally not a fan of white cars but it does look pretty good on the DH. Not as good of a deal but I do like the color. It’s a 10 speed too, not sure if you want another 10R80 or not

Yeah, my wife has a white car and it’s horrible to clean for ocd guy. Swore to never buy another.. lol
It’s a Tremec, only reason I’m even considering trading mine in
