I traded off my 2014 Focus today for a 2017 Boostang...

My former Focus is hiding behind the beast that is the new Mustang...

I stuck with blue, in this case the new Lightning Blue. It’s an awesome color, and the turbo pulls awwesome.

At the end of the test drive the sales person told me that it was the most exciting test drive she’s ever been on.

Congrats! Enjoy your ‘Stang and watch out for crowds! Lightning Blue looks ace.

You made the correct choice of blue for the S550. The grabber sucks on them, as the S550 needs metallic.

Part of the choice came down to which one was available with a manual and the performance pack... They had white or awesome...

Thanks, I’m keeping it away from eating crowds of people. Someone has to set a good example.

So you’ll be popping down to the butchers regularly for offcuts of meat to satiate the blood lust of your new car.

Since this wasn’t a GT, the dealership employees must have narrowly survived your delivery burnout.

Congrats! Love that color. I’m a bit partial to blue as well.

Very nice! Love the black details. What was the damage, did you get a nice deal?

I got a decent deal. I think it could always be better.

I did turn off the traction control on the way out of the lot...

“the sales person told me that it was the most exciting test drive she’s ever been on.”

Let me guess, she tousled her hair and unbuttoned the top button of her blouse and said that breathlessly. Ya got played son, she calls that “the closer”. Works every time.

I’ve lived here for 17 years, but I’ll never get used to the American culture of not talking numbers about anything, even about the purchase price of a car on a car forum :)

Congrats on the new pony, love the blue! I’ve been nosing around the new Mustangs myself; thinking about replacing my ‘14 in a year or two. I’m hoping Ford comes to their senses and introduces a V6 Ecoboost option...

Welcome to the club. I love that blue

I got mine at invoice, which was $31k, and they gave me $12k for my trade in Chevy Sonic

Is invoice considered a good deal on a Mustang? I thought Ford had hard time selling enough recently

Much as love the old Deep Impact Blue, this is a great color. Well done.

I got it about 8 months ago. The trade was like $4k above book too

Ah OK. How do you like it 8 months later?

Does it satisfy all the led foot urges? These less than premium muscle cars are essentially as powerful as early 2000s v8s and intrigue me. I really need to drive one.

Welcome to the #wrongengineclub! Congrats on the ride! I’m also part of the same club but mine is less, uh, Ford.

nope, didn’t do that. She didn’t have to work me to sell the car, I went in knowing what I wanted.

oh it very much satisfies the lead foot urge. I took a co-worker who just sold his Mustang GT for a short ride in it this afternoon and he wwas impressed at how hard it pulls in 2nd.

Nice. I’m eyeballing the new awd v6 challenger they are reporting.

Gorgeous color, not a fan of the black wheels though. I rather like the gunmetal version of those wheels that JayhawkJake has on his Ecoboost.
