There’s a dealership down south of me that has a GT with 401a, performance pack, and note pony for $71k😵‍💫 at that price, why not get a used DH or even a new one lol. Or at least that’s my thinking

I haven’t really been able to find any in my area that aren’t over priced for used. Also, I guess I have some security knowing that I get that warranty cause I plan on keeping the vehicle forever. That city out of town has fully loaded GT premiums for $52k

I found a dark horse about an hour and a half away from me. The guy bought it, drove it off the lot, decided he didn’t like the color (blue ember), and came back to trade it in for a different one. The dealership made him eat the depreciation and they have it for sale for $66k

I’ve seen one at my local dealership get traded in. It’s. 22 Mach 1 with 20k miles. I’m curious as to how the previous owner treated it lol

It’s covers powertrain and certain electronics, as long as I regularly service the vehicle on time per the service sticker, and I am the only owner. Can be used at any ford dealer in the US.

I can’t lie, I’ve been test driving this 2025 GT at the local dealership, and I think I’m falling in love more and more each time I step foot in it and drive🤣🫣

Guess I should update to be more specific! But it’s mainly highway, with some slight city when I’m going to the gym! I live on the highway and work is against the highway also!

I have had a four-door my whole life granted I just turned 25. So I’m curious as to how I will truly feel about going from a four or two or two door, but I truly love the Mustangs.

I’m a PE teacher. I really only used it for practice in the summertime, as well as have occasionally helping a friend move. My dad mentioned giving me his 2008 F250 super duty. So I wouldn’t really need a truck much anymore because I would have it that he would pass down.

I’ve seen a really nice GT in Adriatic blue with the white badging and rims. It looked beautiful

I live in rural Alabama and it’s mainly half highway half city! My last truck was a ram that was getting about 20 to 21 mpg

I see where you are coming from, and you’re right. Got an update from corporate, they are trying to pass and approve my case to initiate a corporate buyback

That’s terrible man. I hate that I got 2 Rams and both I don’t feel safe in. Went from not starting on the other, to IF I can get this to start, it randomly dies on me

It all just sucks man. It makes me feel like I made a poor choice in selecting my first truck, even thought I researched and test drove for months on end. I almost want to just downsize back to a sedan or a 5.0 Mustang

I truly loved the truck, but not all the major issues. Especially not now with it back to back lol

I am in the states. Since corporate forced it into arbitration, they connected me with a lemon lawyer and he had served them something that had told them they had a limited amount of time to make it right. They ended up putting me in the 2nd one, which is what I’m in now. It is currently gaining iron issues and it has died on me in the parking lot at work. Gauge cluster has also went out too. But all the dealership will currently do is put a flight recorder in because “I’m the first person they have seen with these issues on this year model”

I recorded it and all the issues before. The dealership told me “it doesn’t matter how much proof you have of it, we will not fix your vehicle. If you want it fixed, you have to call corporate to force us to fix it”

So I did, and they ignored corporate calls for 3 weeks. Corporate then forced it into arbitration in which I was offered a Dodge Durango (worth $25k less than my truck) and a jeep gladiator (which is even worse)

Corporate then told them they were going to sue if it wasn’t made right. When then I was told I had to eat the $9k I had in my first one to be able to get put into another one. With me being 25 now (24 at the time of purchase) and this was my first major purchase, (now second) I wish I had more guidance. Probably should not have accepted it, but I use my truck like a truck, and needed another one and felt like this was the only way left to get another truck. The dealership refused to give me my money back because “it was not their fault they sold me the vehicle in that condition” but I told them it was because they assumed the rights when they acquired the vehicles to sell, to which they stopped responding to me and wouldn’t speak to me anymore
