I'm pretty new to the site as I just took delivery of my 2017 Silver GT last Monday (literal delivery, as it was delivered to my front step and they took away my trade).
Trying to decipher just how good of deal I got on it, and wondering how bad dealers are hitting owners if they're looking to trade their 2016/2017's.
I paid $30,280 for the 2017 GT, 12k miles. 6spd Auto, premium pkg, ACC/BLIS, Enhanced Security, 401a, upgraded Foundry wheels, Nav, and a few other small $100-ish options. Original sticker was $44,190. Car was absolutely mint, inside and out, came direct from Ford, as it was an employee car at Corp HQ. I did dump the Foundry wheels and put on a set of 2018 20" that were take-offs from a Hennesey outlet, as well as some tints.
I feel good about it at the $30k price, but curious if people are taking baths much lower than this when trading in 2016 and 2017's for the new 18/19's.
Thoughts? I ask because I tend to keep my cars for just 3-6 months, and then move on.
The other part of my deal was my 2018 Silverado CC 4WD LTZ trade. I got a smoking deal on it in early June when rebates pushed it to nearly 31% off sticker. Paid $38,185 for a truck that stickered $55,185. Used truck prices are absolutely stupid here in TX, not the first time I've "flipped" a truck. I put 4500 miles on it from early June to early August and got $42,500 on trade....NOT a typo, I made $4300 on a truck I bought less than 90 days ago. This was a buy bid from a dealer, so did not need to trade to get paid the $42,500 for my truck.
Always trying to figure out what car is next.....just gotta figure out what this 'Stang is really worth!
