2016 TECH PACK LESS THAN 20 MILES (MAYBE WILL SELL IT)

[stang302]

Fair but if everyone was smart/educated who had money...... Exhibit A being all of the "yo dogs" on youtube with $100k+ supercars. You must think guys like Justin Bieber (the biggest moron out there I could think of and happened to be in the news recently punching someone else in public) are geniuses by that theory since he has 10+ supercars. Money does not equal educated by any means.

Idk what "that kind of money" is to you. A 350 starts about $10k over a moderately loaded GT; maybe $5k over a fully loaded GT.

Again, a tech pack is perfectly ok for a daily driver which plenty of GT350s are. Only the "go fast enthusiasts" are concerned about possible limp mode. Id rather pay MSRP for one driven once than ADM for one off the lot.

LOL you really missed what I was saying. No, I do not think having money=intelligence. I said that I think most people who are looking for a GT350 specifically, are in the know about the car. And your example isn't a good one anyway, because the GT350 isn't really a baller car like those types of people you mentioned are going to be buying. Again, you either didn't read what I posted, or just completely misunderstood. "That kind of money" is this specific car the OP posted about, $59K. The highest priced GT I saw was $45K loaded 2017. That's sticker, so I'm sure it's less, but we'll call it 45. Again, this specific car OP is thinking about selling, is $59k. At least a $14k difference. So, what I am saying, my opinion, is that most people that would pay $59k for a mustang, at least $14k more than a loaded 2017 GT, would most likely be willing to pay that much because they know what the GT350 is, and probably also know that a 2016 tech pack doesn't have coolers. Whether or not that matters to them is a different thing. If someone wanted a 2016 tech pack bad enough, there are MSRP deals or better to be found. Obviously not in all markets. Just don't let those greedy dealers cloud your judgement and make you think that a tech car is worth that much because of how much over sticker they are asking. I do wish OP best of luck in whatever he decides to do, I just don't think he'll get sticker price for a "used" tech when there are the same and better deals out there for "new" ones.

Debate the coolers all you want. Some buy 350s as daily drivers never to see the track. Any one informed to track it knows this and buys the tech. It has no bearing on demand clearly if you look at the spreadsheet breakdown of models sold. End of debate on that.

But you conveniently forgetting the intangible costs of buying a new car. Being used OP doesn't charge sales tax to the buyer. The average national sales tax is 8.454% (Google it). Remember not only state but some areas have local too on top of 5-6-7% state. Plus the dealer destination fee which is $900 give or take.

So even at MSRP buying OP's is a better deal by nearly $5,000 using the national average tax (all but the 3 without sales tax IF dealerships have any there even) for a car that literally was driven once it sounds like. It is almost $6,000 average savings including destination.

Even in the lowest state its still 5% state sales tax which is still nearly $4,000 adding in destination saved.

It'd make no sense to go buy new even at MSRP for $4-6,000+ (some states go over the average into 9%+ territory) more to save 20 or less miles on the odometer unless, again, more money than brains.

Which is exactly why I said it may not matter to someone about the coolers. However, I highly doubt the numbers in the spreadsheet would be the same if everyone knew ahead of time about limp mode. Plus, the majority of dealers orders were techs, so there goes that argument.

So I guess that means that everyone that has ever bought a new car has no brains, right? People do foolish things all the time with their own money. Some people want to buy new cars. Some people want to wait and buy used and save money. You are free to think that buying a new car is a bad move. And people that buy new cars are free to not care what you think.
