Another one down (EB to GT)

There goes the neighborhood. Tonight I said goodbye to my EB and hello to my new GT

It wasn't because there was a problem with my EB or the power or sound it was putting out. It was because I no longer felt like I could trust it with all of the EBs with my build period (2014 build date) that have blown lately and the fact that my warranty was gone. I had 27k good hard miles on my FBO EB when it was all said and done. Shout out to @Livernois Motorsports for the awesome tuning. I will definitely miss all the little extras that came with the premium trim and that nice low rpm torque. But this car is one I feel like I can keep for a long time.

The new car is a TY 2016 GT auto with the black accent package. I had put down $19k on my EB so I had a good amount of positive equity for the trade. Obviously I took a nice depreciation hit on the trade. Plus the sales manager wasn't amused by how modified it was lol (I was honest). Details below:


MSRP: $35,980.00
INVOICE: $34063.00

MY PRICE:​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $29,651.00
FREIGHT:​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $875.00
TAXES:​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $491.00
MD. PROCESS:​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $300.00
DMV:​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $270.00
TRADE:​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $20,000.00
PAYOFF:​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $9,400.00
ON THE ROAD:​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $20,991.00

That yellow GT is a beauty , lots of luck

6R80 FTW!

Thanks! yea I'm going to give the engine some time to break in and then I'll be dropping LMS a message. Do you know how the unmarrying process works?

I believe that you have to pay a licensing fee. Not sure how much it is though.

Congratulations! Lookin' good!

Couldn't wait for the 2018? :lol:

Congrats, and welcome to the 5.0 club.

Good stuff!

As a banker, now you have an engine you can surely "bank on". That Coyote motor is a real sweet powerplant, gobs of power and melodious sounds too. Congrats on your new Steed.

Enjoy the new GT!

haha now you see why I wanted to know

oh no.

guard to ty....

On a side note I set the cruise control to 68mph on the way home and it managed 28.1mpg with 2 toll booth stops included. Not quite the 33mpg my EB got on the same trip but very good

Congrats man. Im gonna be heading in the same direction around this time next year but more than likely it'll be a 2018 GT. After this whole fiasco with the accident is done I'll be going the GT route.
