Introduce yourself!!

In my opinion, that is 100% the most perfect stance I’ve ever seen on a 550.
Please tell me you’re on Steeda track springs, with -3.0 camber, and the 25/30 spacer combo!?
I’m doing new wheels, but I think the 19x10 Apex’s I need are slim pickens.
Your setup looks killer, nice work!

Hi Buddy,

Sorry for my late reply. It has 25mm spacers all round and Eibach (20/15mm from memory) springs.

I agree, I think the stance is 100%!

Some other photos for you...

The Eibachs, they go a tad lower than the Steeda’s I have on order I think. That’s why. Love it! Nice work. :-)

Hi,
I am brand new around here and am learning more about the Mustangs as I read.
I had a 1971 Mach one with the Cleveland 351 many years ago. I decided recently to get myself a Mustang 5.0 manual. And Low and behold there is a brand new Mach 1 shipping to my local Dealer.
I failed miserably and secured the car and take delivery in November according to them.
It has the Appearance package. Handling pack with the Tremec. Equipment group 700A and the Elite package. I have never had a V8 with a manual. They all were automatics! anyway I am super pumped and hope everything goes smoothly!
Thanks for all the great information I have learned here recently.

Nice Ride!

Thanks! Nothing too super special, given it's bone stock, but I'm close to done paying it off and considering some options.

Hello everyone, nice to meet you all!

I’m from Australia, I own a MY19 Ecoboost, and I cried the day I picked it up. She’s still stock, for now.

Nice. Looks to be in pretty darn good condition for being 6 years in the daily duty grind.

Thanks! These pictures are actually from when it was new, within the first month or so I owned it - I took a whole batch of new car photos at the time, but haven't really felt any need to go out and do a whole new set since then, given that I haven't changed anything cosmetically on it. That said, it's still in really solid shape today. I opted for one of those ceramic paint protection coatings right from when I bought it, and I have no doubt that that's saved the finish a lot of heartache over the years. But it also helps that I'm in an office job where I've been working remotely for the past year and a half... it hasn't seen a ton of mileage lately for a daily.

Hi, first off I am probably on the older side but have been into cars for decades and have owned dozens of sports cars and trucks. Thank you for some good reading on buying a Mustang GT. I may have been persuaded to hold off due to pricing currently. But money was not a big factor so I went looking. I ll attach my complaint to Ford at the end.
I had a 2019 GT PP1 premium with 10K miles and CPO. Looked like a deal in spite of the price. So now I ll wait for Ford to make the next move if they even do. I am very active on other brand forums that I have and do own. Please , this is not a flame on Ford on my first post.
Again thanks for the very good buying information here, keep it going!
This went to Ford by email, phone and letter.





To whom it may concern,








I have been an auto enthusiast for decades and have had dozens of new sports cars and trucks in my lifetime. I usually buy one car every year or so, and at this point – no Ford vehicles. At 60 years old, I finally thought about purchasing a high-end Mustang and giving Ford brand a try. I was a little apprehensive after my last four cars being Porsche.





So I found a CPO advertised Mustang, and it was at (Marcotte Ford in Massachusetts) which is 150 miles away. I spent two full days going to the dealer and 600 miles of my driving time and expense to have the worst dealership experience in my life. I would consider myself very knowledgeable in the automotive world, including mechanical expertise. I will outline my issues and reasons I did not purchase the vehicle from the dealer or any Ford dealer at this time.





I drove 600 miles over two days of driving and hours upon hours in the dealership with zero positive results.





A CPO car and I found a few issues at my inspection that leads me to believe the car was never really checked out or serviced according to Ford specs for a CPO car. One issue was the wheel alignment that was out of spec. The car was brought over to service, and they could not get the alignment back to spec as shown on the wheel alignment printout that I have. Then they try to tell me that s it still OK. I made one phone call to my local dealer and got what the specs should be. Marcotte Ford couldn't get this? I felt like they thought I was an idiot with their BS explanations.





While at the dealership - for hours and hours - I found out that the car was brought in and sold to the dealer by the owner. The vehicle had some modifications that appeared to be brought back to stock. I was hearing things modified from several different people at the dealer. I know that the exhaust was changed, shifter and some other things. Now, I have no further proof, but as a sports car enthusiast, it most likely had a cold air intake and a tune based on the mods I know it had. That would mean the DME check for a CPO car would show, and it would FAIL to be a candidate for the CPO program. The car was traded in and went right onto the showroom floor. The fact that the alignment failed alone tells me the vehicle was not correctly checked as required.





I went to the dealer a second time and tried to get all the above issues addressed. I even insured the vehicle despite my concerns. I was a cash buyer and went into finance to finish the paperwork and wire the money.


At this point, I was told I could not take the car as they did not have the title yet. It was just paid off by the dealer and awaiting a new title. I was amazed after all this time that I was notified then. Can you even sell/advertise a car that is not able to go directly to the owner?


At that point, I left the dealer with no transaction complete. This potential vehicle purchase and was alot of wasted time, expense, and effort on my part. I lost all confidence in Marcotte Ford, the sales department, management, service department, and the Ford brand. Ford lost a chance at a high-end buyer.





I won't even go into the price gouging and obscene markup as I also know the trade value.Greed. Blame COVID seems to be the default these days.





Those are only the highlights of my experience with Ford.





I am involved with several car clubs and internet forums and posted a review on car.com where Marcotte advertised the car. I will not contact the dealer at this point

I ll re introduce myself. Got a letter from Ford and they did not offer any help.
In the end I ordered a Mach1, 6 speed, 700a in Oxford white from Tom.
SoI m reading the site daily learning as much as possible before the car arrives. Have a Nov build date as of now.
