Excellent and good luck with it. Dealers think they hold all the cards, without customers they don't have a business. I inquired a special order vehicle and was advised on a forum that I "had no leverage as it's special order". You're kidding right, I can just not buy at all, that's all the...

Sounds like a bunch of nonsense. I'd send something similar to what you said, without any snark. Stay professional. "Because the deal was not completed, please refund my refundable deposit within 7 days". And if you have any more issues, I'd spend a couple hundred and have an attorney...
Love both cars, agree with madweazl. The S550 isn't as impressive straight line, I expected more with the extra 15 HP, but it's certainly not a slouch.
Love the way the S550 looks, it's a beautiful car. Mine is silver as well.
Good job! There's always opportunity for these kind of deals, and the 4runner deal mentioned. It just matters market timing, having the cash to pull the trigger, and not being scared of doing it.
People paying ADM I highly doubt have the money to seize this kind of opportunity. They're...
I miss my S197 - '13 5.0. It feels more raw and visceral from my S550. And it felt faster. The interior of the S550 is light years better. The best way I can describe it - the S197 is like a go cart - fun, fast, easy to sling around. The S550 is like a Porsche Boxter - looks fast...
I'm a radio idiot, but I want clear sound. I have the 9 speaker Shaker, and it's the WORST car stereo I've had in a car since a 1984 Chevy truck with only the center speaker in the dash. So that's not saying much.
Do I need to replace the front door speakers and the tweeters? I'm hoping to...
I don't know about this, but if one looks at the GM full size pickups for example, they really started out poorly, given that there wasn't enough change between the '13 and the '14 styles. And then Ford announces the Aluminum F150, GM dismisses it, and then quietly starts a refresh and use of...
The ONLY thing I'm interested in is if they've fixed the viewing angles and interior. The GM V8s are well proven, and the LT1 will be an excellent fit for this car. But I am not hopeful based on the spy shots - the interior should be good, but the horrible driving views don't seem addressed...
Once you have all the nannies and assists its' difficult to live without them. Just imagine the griping if they removed heated/cooled seats in the name of "lowering the vehicle weight".
They didn't add these simply to keep the price and content at a certain point. Some of the sensors are...
Depends, CarFax gets reports from both Insurance databases and they purchase it from body shops. I'd hazard that the bigger the shop (national chain, etc), more likely to report to CarFax.
When I traded my last Mustang, it had just over $1100 worth of body work due to a hit while parked...
Sorry to hear it bud, Florida needs to get rid of no-fault insurance. Let the horrible drivers pay through the roof for car insurance. Also, change the law that if insurance can't be verified from a traffic stop, the car is towed away and impounded until proof of current insurance is...
I don't like starbucks but I do like a scarf (LOL). My 2000 Mustang with the Mach 460 stereo was much better than this Shaker in 2015. It's not all about the bass.
This is the worst sounding stereo I've had in a car since a 1980s pickup.
The tonal quality is horrible, muddled, weak mids, lack of treble. Reminds me of the Kraco speakers sold at Kmart. The bass response is sufficient.
I will say it sounds better using Bluetooth audio vs. Sirius, so...
I agree - my other two cars that were "keyless" did the auto-lock. This feature is sorely missing from the S550. Hopefully Ford can do a software update and add it in, else what's the point of keyless?
Coming from the 13 standard seats going to the 15 standard seats is like having recaros. Standard seats in the 15 are SO MUCH better. I decided against Recaros for that reason alone. But I love the idea of recaros if you need them for race purposes.
I was neutral. This is the third Mustang I've owned, and after I've sold the previous two, swore I was done with Mustangs. I'm just a GM fan. So I decided to get either a C7 Stingray or go foreign, and drove a couple 350 lexus coupes and MB coupes. They don't offer manual transmissions...
Just went for a 100 mile ride in the S550. The SS would outcorner, outstop, and out accelerate the S550, but it would be close. The SS has more interior noise, I'm surprised how quiet the S550 is when cruising on the highway. It sounds mean at idle, but can barely hear the exhaust at...
