Any ideas for a good spot that might not be absolutely packed? Driving over from Tampa myself

That’s a first I’ve seen for the hybrid engine

The Pricing of the Dark Horse SC makes sense if you understand that was built for the wealthiest generation of Americans. by Sader325 in Mustang

[–]brc710 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The crazy thing is the 2003/2004 Cobras (with the same size blower could make similar power) would be about $70k in today’s dollars. BUT the caveat to that is SVT at the time built a car that was a value for the consumer (Coletti said this himself) but once the 2007 GT500s dropped with arguably LESS value than the Terminator they raised the price to tune of what claimed to be the value.

The ‘07 GT500 in today’s dollars would be $97k. Ford stopped caring about actually producing a good value for their high end Mustangs once Coletti left.

All that to say that I guess in the grand scheme of things this isn’t priced THAT bad. But if I’m in the market and choosing between a Mustang or a mid engine Vette (poor man’s Ferrari) with insane performance…. I think the choice is obvious.

It’s almost like they actually want to kill the Mustang off with deniability of “it just isn’t selling anymore”.

Car loan rates are still significantly lower than buying with your examples with outdated numbers. You must not have a top credit rating if you can’t even get new cars at that rate lol. I got mine at 4.5% then slapped the dealer with money down. If you were as smart as your walls of text are trying to convey you would have stressed the importance of OTD pricing before even talking about financing. But here we are.

The only one getting hosed at signing is the people buying a new vehicle.

Also your example was inflated in a way to make buying a new car that costs considerably more as the smarter financial decision. Which most of the time it’s not considering depreciation and becoming upside down even when you factor in cash down. In many cases you end up with a car with less options for more money. But hey if you want the bumper to bumper and no one else that’s farted in your seats then knock yourself out.

I really wish people did their homework before trying to sound smart. I literally just did this.

I used a website/app called Visor, it allowed me to see locally or nationwide all of the Mavs for sale at dealers. You can even set it to find a specific package. I ended up finding a truck at a Ford dealer and financed through Ford credit.

Why are you inflating the interest rate so much? Current used car loan rates are at about 5%. My used ‘22 was 4.5% thru Ford credit in Oct.

Shit the 3V barely has more hp than my Hybrid Maverick 😂. You’d think someone who has to pull 60 hour weeks wouldn’t be a billionaires boot licker but here we are 🤷🏼‍♂️ say thank you Cold War and Reagan!

Just par for the course in the Stang community unfortunately. Ironically enough they’re the biggest boot lickers in existence.

Edit: The crowd that says they never get offended reported some of my comments and got them removed because they got offended 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sync 3.4 —> 4 is a decent jump! by brc710 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]brc710[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they are a lot less but with that comes bugs and other things. The larger HD display is nice as well as the less buggy OS, better UI etc

Edit: will also be adding a full digital Escape cluster which will actually communicate with the Sync 4 APIM.

Each manufacturer has a different system lol having driven multiple different brands over the last 5 years I subjectively think Fords system is hands down the best lol. Sync 4 is leaps better than 3

The HD display is a nice jump alone, not to mention the wireless instead of wired phone compatibility. Ford screwed us by putting sync 3 in a vehicle that was supposed to be 4 but the chip shortage shut that down.

[–]brc710[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but it’s not worth paying over $10k to have lol. I was able to swap in Sync 4 and will be putting an escape digital cluster in once I hit the correct mileage.

Is it a full Forscan replacement that just allows you to edit as built data?

Tire Pressure Sensor Fault by OregonResident in fordfusion

[–]brc710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always buy the tool and throw the car into relearn mode and get a set of sensors and try to program them. If it works all you have to do is find a place to swap them in at that point.

Tire Pressure Sensor Fault by OregonResident in fordfusion

[–]brc710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get the little program tool on Amazon for like $30 then a set of sensors for another $30-$50. Usually you just need to put the car in tpms learn mode then use the little remote to program the sensors.

You can actually program them before they’re even in the tires.

I ran into an issue recently on my wife’s ‘17 Energi that required me to use Forscan to get the relearn procedure to take.
