I'll preface this by saying is my first post and that I've been lurking on the forum for a couple of months reading whatever I can about these cars. I haven't had a Mustang or performance car for that matter since my 2004 Cobra that was totaled in 2009/2010, so I've been reading/watching videos about everything I can on the S550.
At the end January, I'm planning on flying out to Indiana to look at a car and potentially buy it and drive back home to Arizona. The car is a 2019 GT Premium PP1 with 401A in Need For Green with 24,000 miles. The miles are a little above what I was looking for, but other than not having Magneride(which is probably rare on a non PP2) and the slightly higher mileage, it has everything I want with the benefit on having a Corsa exhaust installed already. It still has 1 year of the powertrain warranty left also.
The only thing that I noticed looking at the pictures was the car is missing the hood blanket. Other than that, that's my only real issue. That, and the salesman won't come down on the price at all. I've typed up a small list of questions that hopefully the salesman can answer Monday when I send him my decision and start looking at travel. Here's what I've come up with so far.
Why did the previous owner trade in the car?
Do you have a Carfax for the car, or can you get me a copy?
Do you have the Window Sticker, or can you get me a copy?
Do you have any service records?
Do you have any pictures of underneath the car so I can see if there's any rust from salt?
Any noticeable paint chips/scratches?
Any curb rash on the rims?
Any interior damage?
Any kind of PPF applied from the previous owner?
Has the car been inspected by a mechanic, or is there a mechanic nearby I could take the car to and have a PPI done prior to purchase?
Overall, it's a pretty short list. Any other advise you guys could provide would be appreciated.
