Picking up my first brand new Mustang! UPDATE with pics

[Biggus Dickus]

Hi all. On Saturday I am flying to NC to pick up my first Mustang. A brand new 2020 GT Premium.

Is there anything I should be looking for/asking the dealer to have or do? I just got rid of a Ram, and this is my first Mustang. Any help/pointers would be appreciated

Its a 2020 GT Premium 6 speed with the Performance Pack

No front license plate.

Then:

Clear Bra / X-pel the hell out of it. Including in front of the rear tires. (~$2500)

Forged wheels (~4000)

Then, if you're adventurous, E85 tune.

Then STOP!

Depending on where you're picking up, you might want to make a detour to Tail of the Dragon area.

Unfortunately, I need to make this as quick as possible. From the East Coast of NC, to the S West Coast of FL

Curious why you bought in N. Carolina. Plenty of big Ford dealers from Tampa south. What did you get?

I just scrambled to my phone to check the online ad.....no holes. Good point tho, I have actually havent seen the car in person yet. But I am preparing an e-mail to the dealer today and this will be in it. Thanks!

Email is not good enough.... call them an email. Make sure if you really dont want holes up front you tell them you wont buy the car with them.

Like mentioned Florida doesn’t need a front tag so make sure no holes in front bumper. You can add a Sto N Sho or similar plate holder if you ever end up needing one.

Check panel alignment. Some are pretty bad from the factory.

I always ask the dealer to not wash the car. Some dealers use low paid employees with dirty mitts making swirl marks in the paint or they use a auto car washes that use rags or cloths that spin or drag across the paint.

I bought my car from Maryland and drove it back to Florida. A lot of dealers have the paperwork on a flash drive so you might not see BS charges added to the final deal.

My sister just went thru this buying my niece a car out of state because the car they were in died on the way delivering it to to my niece. They didn’t have a computer to see what the final details were only to find out xtra things were added without seeing the paperwork and being handed a flash drive that she didn’t get to checkout in detail until she got home. She should of requested a print out but assumed the dealer was honest. Lesson learned.

What dealer in NC?

Get the window sticker ask if they can laminate it.
I asked for a extra key fob ( got 3 all together now ) that way if 1 goes bad I can program it myself, no dealer needed.

Definitely check the panels. I failed to and noticed them after getting my first brand new Mustang home.
Now I have to bring it back Monday.
Then I can FINALLY get PPF installed.

Congratulations.

I got a heavily optioned 2020 leftover with a 6 spd, and Twister Orange. Which does not exist in the state of Florida

Feyer Ford in Plymouth. So far they have been great!

I actually negotiated the price down to a round number. We went back and fourth for about a week. So It wont be a penny over our negotiated out the door price.

Thats how I roll, and it ALWAYS works out. Ya just have to be super stubborn
