2015 GT to replace BMW

[ZNorm]

Hi there everyone,

I currently drive a 2007 BMW 328xi coupe with just over 73,000 miles. Lately the GM-sourced automatic transmission in it has been acting up and I'm looking into selling it to Carmax and upgrading to an S550 GT. I'm a senior in high school and I work at the local Ford Dealership and I get plenty of hours there almost every day after school. I found a 2015 GT base model with the 6-speed MT82 manual. Its priced at $24,500 with 21,200 miles on it. Has almost new Pirelli tires all around as well. Link:

Would I benefit by paying $2,000 for a Ford Premium Care ESP? This is the second car I've owned that I've had to get rid of because of automatic transmission problems so I'm dead set on getting one with 3 pedals. Any help is greatly appreciated!

You'll love it. I switched to a 16GT from a 2010 M3. The power and torque increase will be a different world coming from your 328.

Can you work on your own car or at least change your own oil? If so, I wouldn't bother on the ESP since parts rarely fail.

Automatic is the stronger version of this car

And I would only do 24.5k if all fees included and drive out
Do the maintenance yourself and save 2000, that way you will learn more about cars and care about the car a bit more

Hell, I'm 47 and still can claim that that!

My parents will help pay for the car. I'm not gonna pay for that alone!

21,200 is not low miles...that's on the tail end of very average. Lower than some, but not quantifiable as "LOW MILES!"

For a 2015 Mustang? I bought mine on November, 2014 and now it has 20k miles. That's almost 3 year old car at 8000 miles a year. I would say it's "low miles"

In my state average is 12000 a year, that'll make 30k average mile on a 2015

Check the carfax.

Yah that's what it said on carfax

"Low mileage! This owner drove less than the industry average of 15,000 miles per year."

But I see you have a Shelby, that will be ultra high mileage at 20k haha

If I'm not mistaken the ESP is an extended warranty and not a maintenance plan. I do all my own oil changes, brake jobs and shock + strut replacement and other minor repairs on my own. But I'm just concerned that I'll have another major mechanical issue with this car if I don't get the extended warranty.

Definitely need a test drive that car, I don't trust used manual with 20K miles with a 10 ft pole. Base GT 2017 NEW can be had for around $30K. $24K doesn't seem to be a good bargain.

Believe it or not it's one of the cheaper ones within 300 miles of 46112. Most of them are 26k or 27k

BUY NOW!!!
Pricing seems right.
Nothing like having a fun car when you're 18.

RiP '95 RX-7... that was my fun car at 18
