Hi All,
Long time lurker, first time poster. Have wanted a Bullitt since they came out and finally had a decent deposit saved up this yr only for prices to skyrocket. Faced with the inevitability that it will probably be 2 yrs+ before prices come back to an affordable level (I set $35k as my budget) I am strongly considering getting a new Ecoboost first as we intended on getting one for my wife after I paid off the Bullitt anyway. With that in mind I had some questions:
At present I probably intend to keep my old SUV as it is only worth $3k ish but if I were to sell it, the Stang would be my car and therefore would occasioanlly need to be on parent duty. I am not basically WFH permanently so it wouldnt be used daily. Our kid just turned 3 so is still in a convertible seat and probably will be 2 ish yrs before moving to a booster (either the 5 point or traditional one). Does anyone have experience here of car seats in the back of S550's? Someone suggested I joined some car seat group on Facebook but no way in hell am I going into that snake pit of santimommy's!
If I were to buy a new one, what is the wait time at the moment? I've heard Flat Rock is shut down, but elsewhere I read it is having two 1-week shutdowns this month. Do customer orders take precedent over generic builds? I know it is a different plant but my friend ordered a F150 a month ago and he has a VIN and build date of late June. I ask as she is specific in that she wants an orange Coupe with the black accent package and a few other specifics that aren't on any car I have found nationwide and even then it's on a used car that is more than what a new build would cost (I get X Plan).
Thanks in advance, I will probably have more questions but look forward to joining the club.
