Mustang ecoboost or gt

[NFG19]

For what reasons would you say 10speed auto I better than a 6 speed manual?

I was talking about the 6spd auto in the 15 to 17 cars! However you can’t shift as fast as the 10spd

I bought a Ford exec driven '18 EcoBoost coupe used 3.5 years ago as my daily driver. Best car I have ever owned in my 50 years of driving. Enough power to get me in trouble, great driving car, and decent fuel economy for long trips.

If you don’t mind… how much did you paid for it back then? What gas mileage do you generally get?

And don't expect to put aftermarket exhaust on an ecoboost and have it sound like a V8. I know someone who tried and it sounded terrible/worse

Yeah…. If I get the ecoboost I will keep it stock for sure!!

Got ya! The 10spd in track is amazing. The downshifts are eargasams with an exhaust!

I paid about $24k for my car in Dec 2018 with 10,700 miles. I get mid 20s for average mileage if I am not rodding it, will get 35 mpg when highway only driving at 5 mph over the speed limit.

I really want the GT…… The guy who was selling the ruby red GT bailed out at the last moment :(. Idk most of the GT‘s with low miles are between $37k-$42K (2015-2017) and 2018+ are well above $42k.. The Kona blue GT that I mentioned before was used as a rental vehicle for the first 16k miles….bit worried to get a rental car!

Please guide me as to which website’s should I use to find good GT’s for sale

I bought my '08 V6 vert the same way. I tell my dealer what specs I am looking for (engine/trans/color/options) and he finds me options on the car auctions for me to choose from. With used car prices as crazy as they are now, I don't know if there are deals where you can save $10-12k off sticker for a year old car to be had now.

Its not a good time to be buying used cars.

My brand new custom ordered 2022 GT was around 43k.

Do you have the 10speed auto or 6 speed auto? if we don’t consider the current market situation how much do you think the 3rd mustang(2017 ruby red with ~16k miles) in the list should be?

it's an '18 coupe A10 (royal crimson - beautiful color BTW)

in general, all else being equal, the GT should be about ~6k more. in this market it seems options #3 is in the ballpark price wise which is why I think the GT's you list are better deals.

your #2 is an 18, it has a few more ponies under the hood, a slightly better looking from bumper and IMHO a better hood. rest of the car essentially the same but #1 is easily the best deal you list and the one I'd buy if it were my choice. I wouldn't squabble over the miles, all the ones you list are very low mileage. The interior on the grey one is a deal breaker for me, plus grey is boring.

we have a GT and an EcoBoost in our drive... they are both fine cars. imho, if you're gonna daily it the EB might be the way to go. put a tune on it to help with lag and call it a day. they make surprisingly good power, i was definitely impressed with it. EB's should be significantly cheaper than the GT's tho, imho. all else equal they should be ~8k cheaper.

of the ones you list the GT's are the better deal. those EB are overpriced.

I totally agree with the above. EB is fine and a great car, and I have a 2015 GT gen 2 stage 2 Whipple 6 spd manual.

The only other advise I would say is get a 6spd manual, then it would be a fun drivers car!

Good luck and enjoy...

Saw a couple of Crimson's at Mustang Week. Very underrated color. Just beautiful in sunlight.

You are looking at per pandemic deals. Anything on the used car is overpriced.
