Since he wants the manual trans, he can probably get a non Premium GT for about 27k before the 3k. That's what I looked at first, but I wanted an auto, and the dealer I was at only had a GT Premium in auto.
I also wanted a new auto/base 12 GT, but the only one around sold before I was ready to buy.
That's because I read if you ordered a Mustang brochure from Ford, there was a chance you'd get a private $750 rebate. Well it took ~10 days to get it, but it had the $750 coupon! By then the car I wanted was gone, so I started looking again.
Found out there were no base/auto 12 5.0's within 300 miles, so I looked for base/sticks. Saw where one dealer had 2 base/stick 5.0's, but they were sold the next day before I got to see them. Finally got this one ...
So what do you guys think?
I was never a big fan of silver (this is actually the first silver car I've ever owned), and it didn't have a rear spoiler. But I got a total of $3,750 in rebates, so even taking a hit on my trade ('11 V6 Stang) I still ended up financing the 5.0 for $1,500 under sticker (with tax!).
I couldn't pass up the deal.
