Some other options changed or what is included changed in 19
Did I miss the full list of options?
The dealer can do way better than 1100 differential on the 18

Went from a 2018 with 97 miles to a 2019 with 3 miles for $1100 more, same options across the board. The auto rev matching and lack of random people driving the car before me are well worth it.

Not sure, its a 2019 that was on the dealers lot.
It should say in your paperwork somewhere and I think it also says on the door jamb sticker on the drivers side.

Mine is a 19 built July 2018. So I had a trans with the 18 guts that failed. The news trans was from a 19 build date and it feels so much better.

I don't have the paperwork or the car yet. I actually purchase it and pick it up on Saturday.

I'd skip the Mustang and get the Camry V6. It's faster than a Mustang and you can seat 4 people in it vs 3. I say 3 because a half a person can fit in each backseat. 2 half pieces make a whole. So 3.

Skip the Mustang because they tick, the exhaust sounds like a beached whale, don't have any low end power at all, the shift forks break constantly, the gas mileage is terrible, the Camaro has more horsepower, and the Camaro front end looks better. Any questions?
Yeah - why are you here?

Are you triggered because I tried to crack a funny? Awww, poor baby. If you need a shoulder to cry on, I'm here for you.

Some of you people catch sarcasm about as well as Sheldon Cooper off of The Big Bang Theory...

The only difference between the 18 and 19 is basically packaging and color options. The most significant is the B&O sound system, which does sound a bit better than the Shaker Pro. You'd have to sit in them side-by-side to really tell though.

Oh, and any 19 built on a Wednesday afternoon shift is immune to the BBQ tick, and obviously won't get the Friday rattles. You can check the window sticker for the blend date :crackup:.
Mine was built on Wednesday, 10/17/18. No wonder I don't have the tick!!

Agree with some of the others though, for $1,100 get the 19. That 18 already has a full year of depreciation on it, forget about the 97 miles, which is not that big deal. If they'll do $4,000+ better on the 18 then I would go that route.

they wont go below 30k on the 2018, so 2019 it is.

They will when it sits there all summer. If they were smart, they would slash that another $3k and get it off the lot before the 2020 ordering starts. They may be too late already.

I agree, and for 27k I would probably deal with the unknown miles.

One other change in the manual 19 vs 18 (I’ve had both) is the 19 resumes your set cruise control speed after gear changes.
A small thing but the way it should be.
