Hi All. I messed up :(
As what typically happens to me come spring time, I got tempted to shop around for cars. I have a '16 GT 6MT, 22500 miles. Its a Base with Sync 3 sway, F150 manifold, GT350 sway bars, and RTR axleback. But I've always been a big Miata fan and developed a taste for that "flavor" recently. Its kind of the exact opposite of the Mustang but I think equally as fun. It was further justified by all the money I'll save in fuel, insurance, taxes, which will be almost $100/month.
I ended up agreeing to trade in the Mustang on a 2017 RF and got what I think is a pretty good deal, but as soon as I started removing my mods from the Mustang I got all nostalgic and upset and now have the worst case of buyers remorse. I've tried pleading with the dealer to cancel the deal and keep my $500 deposit but no dice. They have graciously offered to sell the Mustang back to me for $1k more than they gave me, which isn't awful, but factor in taxes and fees and it turns into $3k quickly. Plus what to do with the Mazda...
While I would hate to give them the business, I'd like to see it go to another forum member. Lia Auto Group in CT/MA/NY will have it tomorrow. At the moment they have it advertised as an Auto / Premium
To help in your negotiations, be sure to point out the following:
-Rust on the hood -I already had it approved for warranty replacement but there's a 4 month backorder on new hoods
-Weak A/C - ford recharged the AC last summer for me, said they couldn't find a leak. Its weak again. I suspect evap core
-Needs tires
They offered it to me for $26,000. If anyone decides to look at it and has any questions, let me know. I have removed the mods except for GT350 Sway Bars. Its super clean and drives really well, and I will sure miss it.
