Advice on a new/used car.

[Curly]

My daughter needs a car so my wife is going to give her a '24 Ecoboost PP 301a as long as she takes over payments. So should I get my wife an S550 GT, or S650. Also considering a Bullitt/M1.

Are you not considering an s550 EB?

Either way I vote s550 hands down due to price alone.

No way. Most have too many miles. Plus it was the S550 Ecoboost which was christened Ecoboom. She just gave her Ecoboost to her daughter. Considering only 5.0 6 or A10. She owned a 2019 Bullitt before. Someone crashed into it while she was at the bank. Totalled it.

How did she like the Bullitt? I’d start there and have her test drive an M1, S550 GT and an S650 GT to see which one she likes best and then move in that direction.

Ecoboom is over exaggerated outside of early focus rs's but you know how the internet is. That being said I'd be looking at s550 gts before newer models. Better price, looks and dash configured.

She's already driven a 2024 Ecoboost PP over a year. She said If I could find '22 or '23 GT Willow miles she'd want it. But if not a new S650 would work. I've seen a few with 9,000 miles. But most are 22,000 - 50,000 miles. Right now the supply of '25s is dwindling.

I was looking for a bit, but could not find decent prices considering how miles the had on them. I seen plenty Mach 1s with 5,000 h 12,000+ miles. But the pro was extremely high. Plus she wants to go automatic this time.

Maybe. She had a Bullitt, and her heart was broken when a drunk idiot totalled it while it was parked. She doesn't want to go through that again.

I think I'll look for used Bullitts. I've seen them between $36,000 and $42,000. Some with extremely low miles. Gonna have to get on the net and search.

Well then just get a high milage crap box so she won't care about it...
Any nice car will become special and would hurt to lose to something like that. It's life, there's no preventing some hurt...

 

[Curly]

New cars aren't the best things these days, look at all the recalls. No, no crap box. She has a profession and needs complete reliability. So it's either a new model or 2021 Bullitt with extremely low miles.

No. If she wanted an Ecoboost she'd have given her daughter a down payment for a base model. Instead she let her take over the payments of her '24 Ecoboost PP fully loaded top of the line car.

You should get her a Toyota Corolla and have the new Mustang for yourself

Yeah. So I could have two of them. A GT 6 SPD/4.10, McLoud clutch, H pipe, Gt350 1/2 shafts, anti hop kit, MGW short shift kit. I have a truck also.
