Talk me INTO or OUT OF getting one.
I've seen them as cheap as $36k. I have heard brake jobs being as much as $2500 through the dealer tho. Are there anymore expensive maintenence the car requires?
I came very close to buying one when I traded Mustangs (Hardtop to my loaded
Vert), but it was when they first came out and dealers weren’t really budging on pricing new at the time.
Pros:
-The interior is leaps and bounds better than the previous generation, and the interior was not dissimilar quality wise from my 2013 Mustang (lower rent, but not total garbage)
-Uconnect is very smooth and a very nice interface coming from a domestic manufacturer.
-Driveline feels stout and is well proven at this point, Torque everywhere.
My main greivences were all promarily visibility and ergonomics:
-felt like sitting in a bathtub
-no idea where the sides of the car really were (felt 2 lanes wide)
-the rear seat access is horrid despite being larger than the Mustang.
-door handle is in an awkward position inside the car
Any other Pro/Con in my opinion just comes with the territory of owning a lower cost‘sporty/muscle’ car. (Bad MPGs, tire cost/wear, insurance, material quality issues)
On a side note; 2019 Mustangs with the A10 are wicked fast, higher quality, and can be had for some really good deals finally (I’ve seen 4-5k discounts finally since 18 was the latest re-design)
The Scats May Eek out a current Mustang GT in raw numbers, but now even the base Mustang GT is significantly faster while being leaps and bounds more sophisticated at this point.
