A tad high for Nick on a flip, but the car will still be sold at $28K if I start a thread. He's my friend, but money is money. I have zero need to sell.

I'd throw it up for sale before that new zeroturn comes in...

Maybe they're out there, but I still see them most consistently in the high 40's low 50's.. I nearly pissed myself when I saw @PhoenixM3's for 43,5 and it still looks really clean.
...and a few $K worth of tasteful mods. A guy is visiting from Germany to take a look. He had one previously and it got totaled.

I don’t get the argument of price because $32k got a 425hp package in 2004, which is $47k today adjusted for inflation

$35k today which is $25k in 2003 gets 460hp na with tons of room for boost as well as a 6spd manual or 10a in a 5.0 gt.

This $25k in 2003 ($35k today deflated) bought a loaded new 260hp mustang gt or very used 03 cobra.


760hp for $74k in a sorted s550 is a damn good deal imo.

That does make sense. I was thinking the same thing with people comparing the new ranger price thinking it should still cost the same... Looks aside, just look at the dang difference in quality and features. Night and day

When people compare a 1999 7.3 f350 for $30-40k vs a 2020 for $60-80k I’m like “235hp vs 450hp. 400tq vs 1000tq 8750lbs towing vs 30,000+lbs. the interior and features. The brakes and suspension. Let alone that $60-80k in 1999 was $40k to $52k

Could you imagine in 1999 getting what we know now is the 2019 f350 for $52k?

We aren’t in the politics section so I wont press the issue but the real question isn’t why is ford charging $74k for a 760hp premium mustang, it’s why did inflation run up dramatically but wages have only grown in the last 2 years

Looks like I need to do the math, but a base car with black roof, CF interior, and Recaros is all I want.
I’m definitely going stripeless this time, and thinking Iconic Silver or Performance Blue, but the tri-coat Red keeps me double taking.
Not shocked on base pricing, but options definitely are $hocking.

Because there’s only been a conservative in office from 81-89 and 17 to today...

Just did the same options but added tech and removed CF interior.
I cant justify Ford charging +$500 for it on the gt500 over the g350. Plus I reasoned with myself that it wouldn't look as good in a non-CF TP car.

I am going back and forth on the Tech Package. I never use half this stuff and the B&O system in my truck sucks ass. The only thing I think I would like is BLIS and the puddle lamps but that is not worth the money to me.

Would the standard Sync 3 system integrate with Google Maps or Waze type apps?

Does not having the Tech Package significantly hurt resale value?

Good questions..
I've been out of the new Ford scene too long.

I save up so I can pay cash but by the time I'm ready I dont know what all the details are. This stuff wasnt around in '10 MY.

You may be right.. I gotta slow my roll and talk with Nick before order is placed.
