Hi everyone

[Operator]

I sort of ended up here on accident. I was not Mustang shopping, I was just car shopping.

I'd been looking here and there for over a year, then last August, I got to rent a 2019 Mustang EB convertible. I'd actually rented a Ford Fusion, which means they gave me a Toyota Camry, and that Camry had a headlight issue. So when I got where I was going, I went to the local rental office and they gave me the only thing they had - the Mustang. (And since it was all they had, it didn't cost a penny more.)

AND IT WAS SO MUCH FUN.

I drove it all the way from the bottom of New York State up into Canada, then from Canada back down to my home in Virginia, then used it for a few days after that to test it in regular home-work-home traffic. I'd never driven a Mustang, let alone a convertible, so that was just delightful.

Anyway... last week, I put in my list of must-haves into CarGurus and one of the results was none other than a 2019 Mustang EB convertible, same color and trim and everything. I reserved it immediately and took delivery of it yesterday. It's amazing what things you suddenly have to run out and get once you have a new car.

Here she is.

Can't see the album, but grats on the car. I had a similar story to led to my vert. Only thing the rental company had was an 18 Eco Boost convertible, in a snow storm no less! 6 months later I am in a GT

Oops... new forum, still learning it. I changed the album's permissions so everyone can view

This one was sitting right next to a GT in the show room and it was pretty, but it wasn't a convertible and it was $10,000 more.

Looks great! Love that color too, congrats

I also had a similar story. We have had convertibles in the past but got into riding motorcycles. We were on vacation in Pensacola Beach Fl and rented a convertible Mustang. We enjoyed it so much we decided to order one and it came in last week. It has been at the shop being ceramic coated and now we're supposed to get 5 inches of snow tonight. Guess it will be a few days before we can enjoy it.

That's a good idea. How much was the coating?

Paint correction and ceramic coating was around $1500.00. I also had protective film put on the front clip and some other places.

yikes... maybe I'll wait on that, but at the very least I need to get new tires

Yeah, the timing is great :-D

Welcome, and enjoy! You will not regret your choice. I started out looking for an old toy to add to the household and then decided to buy something great that I could drive and enjoy every day. The EB certainly fills the bill.

All you really need is a wind screen. Several options, love the drive and ones for an Audi (people have figured how to make them work). The wind screen really is a must have and makes for some very enjoyable drive time.

Nice, and a great story!

Ha! Same story here. Rented a convertible in Atlanta in October. Bought one in January

A week ago I traded my 2018 GT, my 36th car on a '19 convertible, my 7th Mustang, same lovely color as yours. Feeling very, very good about the choice, hoping you are as well.
