Well, today I got off my laurels and drove the Mach 1 to participate in my local mustang club's bi-annual show-n-shine at the local ford dealer sponsor. I decided to get the Mach out since its been a few weeks since I've driven it. I pulled into parking and noticed they had a few used mustangs on the lot. Once I parked and cleaned up the Mach I mosey'd over to have a look see. They had pretty much what I've been lusting after for a while now. Black, 2012 5.0, 6-speed, 3.73's, brembo brakes, air diffusers w fog lights. Pretty much a plane Jane mustang. Kinda how my GT was back in 1985. This one had only 8,633 miles on it. Almost new with the new $$$ off the top making it attractive financially. Owner had it only 11 months and traded it for a 2013 Shelby. After 4.5 hours of haggling I got the price I wanted and signed the paperwork.
I have not been this happy with a car purchase, pretty much ever. I wasn't looking to buy. It was just the car I wanted at the price I could live with. I don't like anything 4.6L and I don't like the look of the 2013's. So 2011-2012 was it.
Unfortunately, the boss says one of the other mustangs has got to go to make room. Looks like this weekend I'll be readying the SVO to sell. A bit sad about that as I was just getting it where I wanted it, but I hope it will go to a good home.
Anyways, here are the pictures.
I like this pic.
Wife driving it home.
Sticker = $50k!!!! 2x what I paid for mine.
As I first saw it on the lot. Was only there 4 days before I bought it. It had not yet hit the websites or it would have probably been snapped up. Clear Car Fax.
