I actually like the new design now except the spoiler. Would look way better if it didn't have those connectors in the middle. Don't really care about the engine bay because how often are you even going to open it up?
Do not pay $2,000 for it. I got a warranty for my 17 GT for $500 and that was for 8 years 100k miles and that covered everything. My warranty was through Mercury / logix
Had an M3 then I sold it for a 2017 Mustang GT base with performance pack. Sold the mustang after 5 months because I couldn't stand it. BMW has a better ride, interior, handling and power band. Now I'm back in a BMW and couldn't be happier. I do want a GT350 though.
Here are the trade numbers I got when I went to sell my 2017 Mustang GT base W/ Performance pack with 8k miles
Carmax: $28,000
Ford dealer: $25,000
Other shops: 24k-27k
I sold it private party for $31,000
Only way I would get an automatic is if its a dual clutch. Otherwise I would get it in manual. Just wish these cars had auto rev matching like the camaro.
