I would definitely inspect the paint refinishing. DHG from the factory is hard to duplicate. Dont ask me how I know...

yeah I thought they all came with magnaride as well until I googled it. I'm willing to bet tho almost all checked that box tho

The window sticker shows it has magneride.

That’s way overpriced. Think about the day when you try to explain and resell it.

I wouldn’t touch a used car that’s been wrecked, with a pro charger/tune. Good luck.

OP, there's one in Mooresville, NC listed on FB Marketplace with less than 20k miles for only a little more than the one you found. It's been there for a little over 2 weeks, so who knows if it's actually still available. But, if it is, maybe the seller has some wiggle room in their price:

nice. DM’d the guy

idk if I should start another thread or not but I don’t see many comparisons on YouTube or other websites comparing a Bullitt to the new ‘24 GT’s. They are about the same price range.
What’s everyone’s take?

thx

New GT over 5 year old GT all day long. There's nothing special about a Bullit other than the green.

I haven't driven the S650 yet; only sat in one. Just from that, my takeaway was that it felt familiar, while also being quite different (given the screens and reconfiguring the dash). I would anticipate the driving experience being pretty similar given the S650's platform is largely just an improved S550 platform. So, I'd bet it'll all come down to your personal preference on styling. And that is something that tends to bring out the strong opinions between those in here and the Mustang7g forum.

I personally like the new ones. If I was in the market for a Mustang and wanted brand new, I wouldn’t hesitate to get one. I’ve driven a few, not a whole lot different than S550 in the way it drives. They are nice though and they finally brought a yellow color back

I’ve driven a few now. Very similar from a driving perspective to S550. I like the new steering wheel, flat bottom and a little thicker.

If you’re going to spend that much dough, create a spreadsheet, and compare them yourself.

Here’s a start.

The flat bottom steering wheel from the factory is definitely a nice touch. Although, I tend to prefer the smaller air bag cover of the S550 over that of the S650. Other than that, I do love the interior of the S650.

OP, @Hoofer makes a good point about the comparison. And if you're undecided still, if you can find a dealer that has one of each that you can look at side-by-side, that'll help a ton, too. Seeing them parked next to one another helped me better understand what I like more about each one.

Steve McQueen would not be happy to hear you say that, lol. I happen to love the subtle look of my Bullitt btw. The GTs also look very cool and are available in a variety of nice colors. It comes down to what an individual likes.

Although he technically is right, I do love the look of the Bullitt as well. DHG is such a beautiful color too, and the Bullitt is the only way to get that color (from factory anyway) as well all know.

Agree on the airbag cover, it’s a bit hefty. But it wouldn’t prevent me from getting one that’s for sure
