Yeah I was mostly kidding. I mean I love cars with all the bells and whistles but my scenario is similar to yours in that this is going to just be an occasional cruiser a not my daily driver. So the lack of the digital dash is not going to be a deal breaker. I don't know how old you guys are...

Damn it! I didn't even know I wanted that until you just said it didn't have it :curse: :giggle:

Actually they're not, look at the the pictures. There must be something with how the VIN's are reported for the 2018 and 2019's because many that say they are a manual are actually an automatic. That's especially true with the 2019's. I've been searching for a month now & when I narrow the...

No it's in Texas according to the Carmax website. https://www.carmax.com/car/18642595 https://www.carmax.com/stores/7203

It's not gone. Carmax has a feature where you can put a car on hold for 7 days without even having to put down a deposit. So it's showing unavailable right now because I have it on hold to give me a few days to make a decision.

Not any with a manual transmission though.

Anyone ever had any experience with Carmax? They have a 2019 in Texas with 17K miles. It's priced at $27,000 which is actually about what other dealerships are charging for a 2019 Ecoboost premium. But the the Autocheck report that they include shows two owners which kind of concerns me. Why...

Going out there to purchase it would likely mean giving up a whole weekend or more. In my younger days I could drive endlessly but now everything starts to hurt after a few hours in the car.

I'm definitely not expecting to find a bargain, I was just surprised that it was $26,000 for several weeks then they all of sudden gave it an almost $2,000 price bump. I don't think that's typical in the used car market. But like I said, they didn't do anything wrong or unethical. I was just...

It might be a New York thing because I do know a lot of people who enjoy it although it's definitely not for everyone. My wife doesn't really love the negotiating game but she does drive me crazy whenever we have to go car shopping for her. I always tell her on the way there to remember her...

I actually do enjoy the game and I consider myself good at it although whether or not I really am is anyone's guess. But a couple of things that I should point out here. First, is that the dealership is about 900 miles away and I was looking to purchase the car & have it shipped. So there...

It really is crazy. My best guess is that they figure it's prime season for convertibles and since just about all dealerships are probably struggling right now they're probably finding ways to maximize profit. So selling convertibles at a premium in the summer might be a strategy.

I found one that I love and it pretty much had everything I wanted including the color. After going around & around in my head about it for two weeks & driving my wife crazy trying to get her opinion I decided to purchase it. So I woke up this morning thinking I was going to be purchasing a...

It's expanded pretty far. I'm willing to have it shipped if I find the right car so I'm searching about a 1,000 mile radius. It does make me a little nervous purchasing sight unseen but I would likely pay for a third party inspection service.

I very much appreciate this information and honest review. I'm getting excited again to find one.

Thanks MagicMike, that is all very helpful information. I have to admit that replacing something like the shifter bracket does make me a little anxious but I'm sure it's not that difficult if I end up needing to do that.

I've been combing through the Transmission section of these forums and although the opinions are all over the place there does seem to be more positive posts and reviews of the 2018-2020 MT-82's. I'm still researching though. If anyone has any other input on the MT-82 please post it. I'm...

Thank you! I know it will take a little longer to find one with a manual but I don't think it will be too bad because I'm willing to purchase long distance & have it shipped.

Yeah I agree with you about the Ecoboost over the GT. I could afford to purchase a GT but the premium is substantial and I really don't care to spend that much extra for a car that will basically be used only in the summer.

I'm not questioning you but from the research I've done there appears to be complaints on the MT-82 on the V8 and Ecoboost engines although it's possible that it's more of an issue with the V8. I did find this while searching...
