Good morning,
I plan to retire my 05 focus for a new car in 12-18 months. I love my Bullitt, but I need to make a more rational decision for my normal use car. My focus is my daily that I have some fun in every now and again, but legroom has been an issue since purchase (14 years ago). As such, I am seriously considering an ecoboost mustang as a replacement. Unfortunately, ford released the HPP to tempt me so now I am left with a decision:
Purchase a new ecoboost and do some light bolt ons - adv power & some training
or
Purchase a new HPP ecoboost and trust ford - adv warranty
or
Purchase a low milage used 18-19 ecoboost bolt my heart out - adv moar powa? & lots of training
As this purchase is a bit away, I planed a price cap of 31k, but the 2020 HPP prices are already dropping so that is not helping my decision at all. All options would be an improvement in power / legroom over my focus, but the more I research this decision, the more I get a bit dizzy. I am actually tempted to go ranger because I would not have to make this decision.
Thoughts, comments, ideals on life?
