I've found the owners manual with my "new" 2015 is a little light on detail in some areas. It says to arm the active anti-theft alarm by "electronically" locking the car. That's it.
I have a few questions:
Really all the ways of locking the car are "electronic", do they mean using the remote...
I disagree. It might be sad if the thread was filled with stories of people being victims of carjackings, shootings, etc. Rather, many posters have said they haven't had to use their guns in a real-life situation.
IMO, the more responsible gun owners carrying and prepared to effectively use it...
That would be great to have that tag. One thing I've always liked about GM cars I've owned is the SPID tag which lists the codes for every piece of variable equipment that the car was spec'd with. I've never heard that Fords came with something like that.
The pic is the tag on my 96 Roadmaster
I went to the dealer website and downloaded the vehicle history report they have there. It's not as informative as Carfax but did offer one curveball. The car has been titled twice, in 2015 and 2021, in WASHINGTON STATE. If it really spent most of its life there, does that make any sense? Even...
I was not meaning to say that all Florida cars must be rusty, but rather that a Florida car can't be assumed to not be rusty. I'm not from FL, but my grandparents used to live near the coast and I saw some pretty ratty rusty coast cars.
The problem with "the car is actually from the North"...
Thanks for the detailed thoughts. You've obviously spent a lot of time around modern collector Mustangs.
My LE has 16k miles and is in close to spotless condition (I'd say #2 in collector car speak). Not quite collector condition but it would make a good garage queen. However, I bought it to...
I happened to be underneath my 2015 GT today changing out the exhaust. I noticed the muffler hangers are surprisingly rusty. (see pic). The underside is generally good, that was the only rusty piece I saw. Suspension has only the slightest rust.
My car has spent its life as far as I know in...
I lived in Arizona for 15 years and as a result am a complete rust snob. I won't buy a car any body rust at all. Fortunately I live in Texas, which is pretty good. I prefer desert cars, a long as the paint and soft parts are good.
In the North, cars deteriorate from the bottom up. In the...
I was perusing Ebay and ran across an interesting Mustang. It's a beautiful 2015 GT with only 750 miles on it. Has the 50 Years appearance package and fully loaded and appears to be perfect...except for one thing, and it would be a deal breaker for me.
Anybody in the Upper Midwest, New England...
That looks like a hot ride alright! The front splitter is insane! I'm not too familiar with the Roush's, the grille treatment is nice.
I just bought my car from Texas Hot Rides two weeks ago! See the white 2015 50 Year a few posts up from yours here. I had a good experience with them. I drove...
I generally agree. It still looks like a Mustang and there's obviously an S550 under there. It's just that many of the changes they made either intentionally or accidently ape the Camaro. It's an odd choice.
As you've said, these are personal preferences. I have my favorites but big picture I appreciate all years of Mustangs, even the new ones. I'd take an 18-23 or 24+ over most other cars. While I'd have made much different choices on the style of the S650 if they put me in charge, I am grateful...
Yes! The rear quarter window/rear fender shoulder treatment on the S550 is sublime.
I also like how the ridge under the side window carries forward across the hood leading the edge of the grille. On 15-17 the line is straight, which I like best. On 18-23 the line curves inward as seen on the...
My other less logical theory is that Ford/Flat Rock considered the LE a special car that represented the best version of their new baby and took putting them together more seriously than typical, so they were built with an extra measure of care. They had the Boss's name on them after all...
Yeah, definitely not a Mercedes, but then I wouldn't want a Mercedes! My gaps are pretty minor. Don't show in pictures.
I notice you ordered your 22. Maybe you could shed a little light on a head scratcher for me. Early on I was considering buying a 2021 GT, which on the sticker said the build...
I recently bought #136. I've heard a few references on the forum to lower numbers being preferable. That was not at all a factor in settling on this one. In fact, I would tend to think a higher one might be better just because the factory would be getting a little more proficient at building the...
