GTP, Thank you and thanks for the compliment. I try to see the "positive side" in/of everything that occurs in my life. I agree on the navigation...it maybe an option I will decide not to buy, as I can (as most people do these days) use my phone for directions...or go "Old School" and use my...

Paul 123, I agree...I had the EXACT sam thought when the salesman informed me the car was sold. You are also correct by purchasing a base model GT my costs (i.e. my negative equity to be specific) will be kept as lower as possible; however, if I do this (which at this point I am 80/20 in doing...

You are most welcome; thanks for everyone's advice, counsel and comments. I will keep everyone advised on what develops. :ford::cheers::headbang:

It seems this particular Mustang GT wasn't for me after all; I called the salesman when I finished work today (around 4 PM) to inform him I would be at the dealership in 30 minutes. He told me I was too late...a customer came in this morning and purchased the car. The dealership had it priced at...

I appreciate your candid response; however, I don't quite care for the "tone" in your message. Horsepower isn't the underlying issue...if you have read entirity of the posts, you would read twice where I clearly stated that the horsepower (and probably torque as well) were quite enough for 95%...

WOW! $300 tax on a vehicle no matter the cost of said vehicle must be NICE! And just another $25 to register and transfer the tag? Why isn't EVERY state like SC in this regard? Oh, wait...I know....two words...GOVERNMENT GREED!!

GTP, Incorrect; when you trade a vehicle in, you don't pay full tax again. You only pay tax on the trade difference between the two values of the vehicles. I initially paid about $1400.00 for taxes on the EB; I will (if I do the trade) pay about $500ish on the GT. Not the $4500 you speculated...

Ecoboosted, I wish I could get 0% APR from Ford, or any creditor. If I could, I would complete the trade without any reservations. A 2K private offer is AWESOME! That would also "eat" most of my negative equity as well. I really, really wished Ford had just offered the GT with the PP and...

Paul123, Great post! Made me laugh out loud! If only I played video games!

The GT is NOT USED. It is NEW! It has 35 miles (I think that is what I read on the odometer). It has NEVER been titled....brand NEW!

Pumxee, Thank you; I also did the research on the amortization of the car: http://www.myamortizationchart.com/auto-loan-amortization-calculator/. And the car is new...not used. It has never been titled and has 35 miles on it. And I will pay the car off by September 2018; I will deploy twice...

Pumxee, Yes the EB is financed at 0% APR with Ford Motor Credit for 72 months. I always take the 72 month loan period, for the lowest note. I never pay on a car for more than 48 months...I have always deployed about that time and upon my return, I either pay the car off, sell it or trade it in...

Sal33n, the GT is a premium but, it doesn't have the PP. And that is my only point of concern. I do like the PP on the EB. I have driven other EB's without the PP and they don't feel as "buttoned down" as EB's with PP; I am sure the same goes for GT's without the PP, when compared to the GT's...

I paid 29,600 OTD for the EB Premium, auto, PP and ESP. I have made four payments of $417.00. Exact current balance is: $27,932. And no, I didn't put any money down. And cyandhappiness...I thought I was choosing "wisely" this time. Having had three previous GT'S, the EB (at least on several...

I initially passed on the GT, because it wasn't available with the PP. And I agree with you 100%...if I trade up and take the financial hit, this new car HAS to be what I want EXACTLY...or it was a foolish thing to do and no lesson was learned. I could, of course, keep the EB, pay on it (0% APR)...

Here is a breakdown of the numbers: Payoff on my EB Premium is 28K; dealer's trade in offer is $25,000. The MSRP of the car is a shade under 41K, the dealer is selling it for 32,000. Negative equity of $3,000 + selling price of $32,000 = $35,000, financed at 1.99% for 72 months. The...

I initially wanted a GT, but, I wanted a GT with the PP. After test driving the EB with the PP (multiple times with stick and auto), I decided to buy it in August, during Ford's 0% APR sales push. Now, in my limited test drives, there was no way I could know, or tell, the aspects of the car I...

As the title suggests, I am considering trading in my 15 Black EB Premium PP for a 15 Ruby Red GT non PP, with automatic transmission, 3.55's, 19" stainless steel wheels, Enhanced Security Package and spare tire. The payoff on my 15 EB Premium PP is 28K; the 15 GT has been in the dealer's...

After five months of ownership, I can honestly say NO, I would not buy the car again. I didn't want to purchase a GT this time around (largely due to the non availability of the PP). While I enjoy the lighter weight and overall better balance of the EB over the GT, it is underpowered in stock...

65 Fastback (200 CC inline 6 cylinder) 87 GT (5 SPD) 98 GT (AUTO) 03 GT (AUTO) 11 GT (5 SPD) 15 EB PREM PP (AUTO) My plan and intent is to purchase a new GT when (if??) Ford decides to offer the Performance Package with an automatic transmission and hopefully, a new 8 or 10 speed automatic...
