Greetings!! Will take delivery on Saturday (tomorrow) of a nice 2017 Ruby Red EB Premium convertible. Has 27k on it and seems to be in excellent condition. I've been looking for a "fun" car for a long time, and finally found one that was not a ex-rental with a ton of miles. According to CarFax, this is one owner, from here in WA state. Test drive was fine, except for an issue with the Sync 3 navigation ... the maps never moved, even after a power off/on cycle with the door open. Everything else seems to function OK. I've had a lot of recent Fords (and our primary vehicle right now is a 2020 EXPLORER ST), so I'm pretty savvy about Sync 3's quirks. I did get a written commitment by the non-Ford dealer (CarMax) to get it fixed before any signatures/money changed hands, just in case.
Not planning any mods, per se; I'm more interesting in returning it to "showroom" condition and keeping it that way. It'll probably see very limited use in the winter but I'm looking forward to the spring/summer!!
An interesting factoid that makes me smile - in 1966 when I got my first driver's license, my folks had a 1965 Ford Thunderbird ... the first car to ever have sequential turn signals. It was a red Landau with white trim. I"ll smile every time I make a turn in our red 'vert knowing that it also has sequential signals!!
Cheers!!
