Lazy dealer

[Canuckican]

Maybe I'm just extra-sensitive when buying a Mustang from a dealer in Orlando, Florida (like I did when I ended up with the worst ever mint condition 2016 Mustang GT from "Mint" Auto Sales in Orlando), but come on. Can't you at least move the jump start battery out of the way, close the hood, remove the part from the passenger seat, wipe the goop off the center console, fix the tray liner, give the instrument cluster at least a quick wipe, remove the empty water bottle from the rear "seat", take a Dustbuster to the driver side floor? Treat the car and prospective customers with some respect and show some professionalism.

Still, I'd love to have a yellow one like this one. But NOT this specific one! Not falling for that again!

I would LOVE to have that car.

but only after a full detail
it was amazing when I was looking the number of mustangs I clicked on thru dealers and seeing these issues and worse...

Such an awesome color. If there’s nothing wrong mechanically with the car, go for it. I get what you’re saying, presentation is half the deal with these things. You’d think they would do better…

Wow, I've never seen a car presented like that in a sale ad. I've seen a poorly cleaned car, but never one with the hood popped open, an empty bottle in the back seat and license plates still on?

Interesting for sure.

Agreed: they made no effort to present the car properly.

If they show that little interest, one has to wonder the quality of virtually every aspect of their business. Cleaning a vehicle and taking some nice photos isn't exactly a high hurdle to pass.

I'm concerned of several of the interior pictures. There appears to be water spots covering the Instrument Panel Cluster, console area and dash gauges. IDK if a door window had been left down and it rained, they sent the car through a car wash with a window partially opened or what.

I'd say, "Pass."

What is that where the rear seats should be?

That is the factory rear seat delete option. For $250, they removed the rear set and installed the cover.

Still, I'd like to have this one. Although with my luck, I'd probably end up with the worst 2021 Mach 1 with only 3K miles in the whole USA! ;)

Appears to me that you didn’t learn your lesson the first time.

Hard pass.

I do not recall ever seeing interior pics from a dealer with a dark dashboard. They could have waited until after the battery was charged. If they allowed and paid for a full inspection from an independent mechanic maybe i would consider it. Otherwise pass.

What is plugged into the USB port that runs under the shifter? Also, those water spots are all over the cluster, and above the center gauges etc.

Oh no, I definitely learned a very hard lesson the first time! I tweaked the wording in my post to make it clear I am not in line for dumbass purchase #2. I just came across this one while doing some window shopping and thought WTH?

I also see lazy dealers take lots of photos for a car which just came out of the car wash without drying it (water drops and standing bubbles all over the car)

Probably using wrong solution to clean, I only use mild damp glass microfiber towel to maybe clean any small spots.

If that car has been out in the Florida sun lot already, those spots may be baked for good...?

I think this presentation / preparation is more like it.

Geez, I am really starting to dig these yellow Mach 1s. It's even CPO and in PA, not FL.

You Mach 1-ers are a fortunate lot.
