Love it, great video Roman!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That 2014 Mustang has a better integrated instrument cluster than the 2024. The interior of the 2024 just seems like it was cobbled together without any attention to integrative thought. Definitely detracts from the higher price tags of today’s Mustang.
@@TFLcarI can't find tfl ARCHIVE channel
That is why I bought a low mile 2022 Mach 1. Much nicer interior and car in general by my taste. @@jasondickens9003
The young ppl are 25 now not 18 😂😂
Call me old school but I like the analog gauges much better. Great looking vehicle though. Awesome purchase!
It looks like somebody Velcroed two iPads to a half built Dash. Hideous.
I hate the lag associated with digital tachometers.
@@TJRahnyeah I hate this trend, every new sports car has the same layout now 2 tablets glued on the dash, it’s just a cheap and lazy way for automakers to claim their car is “brand new”
@@bestmillimeter1858It happens rarely in mine.
But at least you can switch to Fox body style 80's gauges. Bonus.
I think you got it wrong. The new GTs have 480 HP and with the active exhaust they have 486
Yes,I thought so as well!
Yep!
Who cares, both will get you to 0-jail real fast 😂
You won't even be able to tell the difference between 480 and 486 horse power. No speed difference at all.
I remember buying my base model 5.0 6-speed new in 2019, and it was $33k after a little incentives. Big difference for nearly the same seats, engine, and gearbox
exactly
People really don't understand how inflation works or how the car market has developed. A Mustang from the 2000 would be more expensive to buy today than the current Mustang price and in 2010 it would be more or less the same price for less features. So you are getting about the same in both cases, modern cars just have more features and safety equipment on them.
I do. (Economic honors) Car prices have shot up 33%+ in 3 years... Throw in higher insurance, higher fuel & higher financing. Prices SHOULD be lower with Economies of scale and technological advancements in addition to recycling parts from the previous Mustang. Truth is Ford (like everyone else) is ballooning their prices to pad shareholder confidence, and fund EV R&D @@leofhr2966
I agree 100% very expensive!
@@leofhr2966 33% price rise in 4 years for essentially the same car does not make sense. Crazy how car manufacturers reported record profits during this said inflation you speak of...
The gauge cluster setup looks like they literally just stuck a screen on the dashboard and called it a day. They could've tried to make it look integrated at least
Yep i hate the ipads they could at least make a gauge hood or something for it like other cars
I question the reliability of the dual screens. They should of kept the real gauges and buttons. But it is a beautiful car
it is overly computerized ...will accelerate obsolescence and electric problems. really affirming when he goes to start the car and its delayer booting all the tech slop
As much as I love my fords and always have, Electrical issues were always an issue for me personally. I'm wondering if a full digital screen will present the same issues. Yeah it looks kind of cool I guess until the warranty expires. I'm hard-headed so I would probably still get the car and hope for the best LOL.
@@LamelKendrickhe had to wait to access the exhaust settings. The car can start immediately. Just push the start button.
if these screens are made well they should last a while. Quality makes more of a difference than the technology itself, this is coming from someone in IT.
It makes replacing with aftermarket’s stereos complicated. If HVAC fails, you have no access to other controls.
$$$$ to repair when it “does” fail.
I’ll Pass.
Those dual screens are a crime.
Definitely. Looks like they just glued two tablets on the dash. My car has the integrated 8" LCD and it looks much better. And it's a 2017 model.
If you go premium you get the long Tesla like screen 🤷🏽
There's nothing cheap about the price of the new Mustang. No more young people driving off the lot with a new GT and crowd killing at C&C.
There was nothing ever cheap about buying a Mustang.
Also, there’s a HUGE difference between cheap & cheapest. Cheap is a relative term that has no ceiling because it depends on the person. Cheapest has a definitive value because it’s the lowest price in that category.
I like my 2020 Mustang, but no way would I pay MSRP for one. 10k off MSRP made the purchase worth it.
@@BadBackOz I paid 28k for my 2017 GT. Loved it neve would I pay these prices.
@@kenyattaclay7666 these cars used to be affordable to all. Now it's gonna be like the old guy corvette owners.
@@gcmfskg once again, there was NOTHING ever cheap about buying a Mustang. I also don’t know what world you lived in but I lived in the real world where these cars were not affordable to all as you want to say.
In 1964 a base Mustang cost $2,368. The average salary was $6,600. Also, minimum wage in 1964 was $1.15 an hour which equals $2,208 a year. That 64 mustang definitely wasn’t affordable for someone making minimum wage & if you were right at the average salary that would’ve been 36% of your salary which also isn’t very affordable for the average person. So like I said before, buying a Mustang was NEVER cheap.
I HATE the dash in the new Mustangs. Two iPad sat on a dash. No style or attempt to make it look like anything else. Looks cheap
Definitely doesn’t look cheap it looks modern and not outdated and also has the old fox body gauges in the settings
@@TheKing8608_ lol. It displays something that LOOKS like the old foxbody mustang gauges (which is easily the worst looking mustang anyway)
Don't look up the AMG 1 Mercedes hypercar than lmao. You're just old. Nothing wrong with that. But screens are it now. Cheaper and you can show more information.
@@Tazandd Cheaper to manufacture, cheaper looking, and impossible to read in bright sunlight.
@@Tazandd screens are dumb and no that's not a boomer take. Having a digital dash means there's bound to be bugs in the software and with the way software is made today, there will be LOTS of bugs and glitches. Also, if they follow what the tech industry does with smart phones and tablets, after 5 years the software will slowly stop working, thus incentivizing you to purchase a new car. Planned obsolesce baby!
Nice buy glad ford is keeping the v8 going for 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I hope so, sucks that Chevy and Dodge pussied out and bending the knee to the environmental liberal fascist lunatics. I've always been more of a Camaro fan but if Ford keeps the V8 Mustang going, I'll switch sides.
Brand new 20 miles won't boot up 😅 thank you for leaving that there
Nice upgrade! I used to have a 2014 5.0, had it for 5 years. Awesome car! Sold it to get a ZL1, and as much as I loved it, decided to sell it and get the last 2022 GT500 in the same Atlas Blue as your new 5.0! That color looks gorgeous in the sun! Congrats on the new car! Looking forward to lots of videos with it!
Congrats on your 2022 GT500! 👍
Did you get the Man-ual or the Autowombic? ..... and no those are not typos.
Everyone saying they should have got the manual should remember that the GT comes with the MT82, which is known to be a poor manual transmission. Ford needs to get rid of it and only use Tremec.
Three things on the MT82:
I have the MT82 in my 2013 5.0. Still even has the original fluid. Still shifts like new and I like it a lot. It's not perfect but the aftermarket has some great upgrades. In fact there is some great builds that handles 1,000 to 2,000 horsepower reliably.
There were some early issues back in mid 2010 (2011 MY), but no real issues since. The 2018 got an update with revised ratios (MT82 D4) and again, some early issues I'm aware of. It's the only manual I'm aware of from the factory that can reliably handle 800+ rwhp stock. Long term too.
People complain about manual transmissions all the time. Even Challenger and Camaro owners have their fair share of failures and complaints with Tremec.
Old info, after 2019 Ford fixed the MT82, it's now the MT-82D4, my 2020 Mustang GT with the manual has been flawless.
@@davidtennien39 Weird. I have a 2013 GT and it's been flawless too. If you ask people who haven't driven one or maybe went around the block, they are garbage. I have yet to personally come across an actual owner that has had complaints. Most early builds of anything can have issues.
@@davidtennien39 The fact that the Dark Horse comes with the Tremec indicates the MT-82 is not as good. There are still reports of lockout issues with the MT-82D4.
@@ryanm5626 The Tremec being available on a higher level model doesn't mean anything. Maybe people have issues because they don't know how to drive a manual. You ever think of that?
The old one had much better gauge cluster - throwback. Dislike the square cornered screen sticking up - no style to that at all.
Perfect timing - I have a 2018 GT Premium with PP1, 6 speed, Active Valve Exhaust and Magna Ride. A little over 60,000 miles. Stone cold love the car. I am thinking about, at some point getting an S650. My next car would be optioned similar. 6 speed is a must - can’t possibly consider the distaff transmission! Big no go is the iPad dash 🤢. Think I’ll be driving the 2018 for a couple more years. Happy motoring 🤠
I absolutely love my 17 gt premium! Three pedals my friend!
The '24 GT has 480 HP std, and 486 with active exhaust. 2018 to '21 had 460-horse. 2022-'23 had 450-horse due to the carbon trap in the air intake tubing from the air filter box.
I ordered the exact same configuration for my new mustang last month, only added night pony for bigger wheels and painted roof with different headlights and black badges. Have some discounts b/c of company I work for but not as good as a deal as you guys got. Some things about this configuration I would like people to know. (Also grabber blue not the dark blue)
301A package which is 2k gives you the partial leather (vinyl) seats with driver electric and adds lumbar as well as 9 speaker audio (adds sub and a puller speakers). Gives you the heated seats and the duel zone climate control. I originally skipped this, but changed order to include because they are all nice to haves and can’t add cheap later.
Active exhaust is worth every penny, 1.2k and bumps 480 hp to 486 hp. Looked on ford performance to add afterwards is more like 3k if you could even get the screen to show the buttons and features like starting in quiet mode.
10-speed auto, I drove this and it’s pretty good. Marginally better mpg. But really just works for my commute better, would love the stick just can’t justify it as my only car that the girl drives when needed.
As for the brakes, the upgraded 6 piston brembos are huge and I do want them. But EcoBoost to GT gives you an upgrade of brakes (the baby brembos) as well as wider tires.
I think this configuration is a great build on top of configuration, excited to see what y’all do!
You got the automatic?..... what a waste of money and a good engine. Like I said before, automatic Mustangs are for soccer moms ....or just moms in general. The men drive manuals, lol! That's like if I say "I really wanted a Ducati Panigale V4R, but my girlfriend doesn't like manuals, so I got a big moped because it's automatic is smooth and easy in case she wants to ride it". ..... yuck!!
Cool new car. Congrats! Just hope that the lengthy delay for the screen to boot up is not a precursor of bad things to come. Personally, I prefer the old school interior of your old 2014 GT.
What a great video you guys! Thanks for showing off your new Mustang. I love the colour you got, I would choose the same one for my car. The exhaust is incredible as well.
Our pleasure!
Exhaust is amazing.
I need a V8 in my life. Just bought a 2023 Genesis g70 with the twin turbo V6, crazy fast and super nice luxury car.. But I need something more sport and rambunctious in my life 😂😂
TFL stating this might be the last V8 they (being an automotive review site constantly buying new vehicle) ever buy made this hit a bit harder then the individual announcements of engine discontinuations; I always kept saying to myself “Oh, I guess I’m switching to the other manufacturer for a big N\A ICE” but this makes me realize there may not be any other manufacturers pretty soon 😢
Just for drama, big SUV’s and truck V8’s will be around a long time.
people are very gullible. @@GeorgeOrwell-tp8dw
Ford's 3.0T seems like a worthy replacement. It makes great power in the ranger/Bronco raptor
Ehh I don’t think V8 will go away anytime soon. Guys will always restore the classic muscle cars.
@@angelgjr1999 Personally I am not super attached to this whole v8 thing being the be all end all, but I wanna adress this comment. That's not the same as car manufacturers making and mass producing such vehicles. Sure v8 will still exist, but nobody is buying and restoring old classics for cheap or getting them easily from others, so it is true that you won't see many more videos like this let alone make much more content with the previously mentioned alternative.
I remember the very first car I ever bought with cash was a 2013 mustang GT…32k….oh how times have changed. That’s a crazy price hike for 10 years difference
2024 GT starts at $42,000. Just think of it as 32,000 in 2013 dollars.
Cmon Man...that's Bidenomics!
I love my ‘22 GT. I’m excited that Ford is investing in the future of the V8 for some more years. There’s two things I can’t get past on the one in the video. The first is the lack of a third pedal. I get resale but the trade off between the difference in price and the daily joy of changing gears just wouldn’t get me into an auto. Second, just not a fan of the screen in place of the gauge cluster. My dash is digital but it looks built in and the new one just looks a little out of place. However, nothing can take away from the sweet sound of Mustang firing up. Who needs a radio with that exhaust? I hope y’all enjoy yours half as much as I enjoy mine.
I hope you can do an immediate mileage test, and please get the oil from the first change reported on by a lab on possible contaminants. Love the paintwork. Are you going in for PPF or Ceramic coating? A video on paint prep and ceramic application DIY style would be awesome.
You shouldn't even bother testing mpgs until at least 3,000 miles. Btw, my 5.0 went from 17 mpg average at that point to 20 mpg by 6,000 miles. Not driving efficient of course.
You are sooo right Roman! Love the feeling of picking up a brand new vehicle.
Sweet ride! Love that color and it sounds great. Great video!
Video idea...Cross country road trip, coast to coast, "What it's like to road trip the last V8 muscle car"
Thanks for the great suggestion!
Do it!
@@TFLcarI'd watch this
I wonder how pleasant this car is had they maintained the s550 dashboard and place the " tablet " at the middle to retain the balance in look. Maintain the sporty toggle switches as well☺️.
In a few years those screens will look like crap. Not to mention I bet the startup lag only gets worse over the years.
Thanks for the video, I could never see myself selling that 2014 for that new one. Good to see a real world video and not a hype video for the new one. Definitely like the older gauges and interface better. A mustang has never had rectangles in its design language. That interior was a big mistake in my opinion.
I think the blue was the best color.
Yep, would have sat on the 2014, 10 more years it would fetch fox body prices .....2013 to 2014.....GT, 302 Boss, GT 500....
Yeah, 42K aint too bad, but i remember when V6 was 20-25K and a GT Premium was under 40K.
Great car. Great color. And, as said, everything you need and nothing you don't. What's not to like? And a discount, too. I would personally like an interior that's not black, but there's actually a lot of positives with the cloth seat centers, so I don't think that's in any way a deal breaker, and in Colorado I would think cloth seats are arguably a plus. Makes sense to get the auto given you don't plan to keep it long, etc. Congrats!
Summer and leather black seats....no thanks, cheaper is BETTER in my opinion !!
How's the engine?
Oh, it's amazing.
How's the infotainment system/electrics?
Yeah....Ford really struggles with that.
This is how the big 3 view it's customers. Trade in their vehicles when they're bored with it within 2-5 years that's why they don't focus on reliability.
I’ll watch every video you make with this car, so please make plenty! You chose an excellent spec and color. That’s a Forever Car if I’ve ever seen one!
Considering the fact that a used Dark Horse (or optioned out Premium Performance Pack) will still be over $42K three years from now when they’re on the used market with 50k miles, many of us will be shopping for these base models. I’m very interested to hear your thoughts on what higher trim features you might miss as you rack up the miles on this one (and HOPEFULLY slap on a few performance mods).
I could only dream of a dealer in my area (WV) giving $5k off a new Mustang! Might be worth a flight to Colorado!
The deals are out there, don't be afraid to travel to save money.
I want to wait and break it in as he revs it to 6500 RPM's...... Love the color and the car and glad you added to the fleet. It is exactly how I'd want one equiped too. I also agree some meat on the sidewalls is good for most of us drive in cities and highways filled with potholes.
You'd be surprised how well wide tires float over most potholes. I have P255 40R19 tires on mine and the ride is still decent. The handling though is impressive for a street car.
It’s a good thing GM is discontinuing the Camaro. If not it would be tough to tell them apart.
The new Mustang does have the camero vibe. I don't know if it's a bad thing but sort of odd.
@@GettingthruLife Mustang never had the Camaro Vibe , Mustang always had it's own unique styling , Chevy hasn't had an attractive looking Camaro since the IROC Z .
ugly tablets inside. Otherwise on the outside looks great. Sounds amazing also, nothing can beat the V8 sound
I remember when cars were affordable.
Send it back save some money get tommy a door jeep or a used Highlander 12:55 the geese Agree with me
I'm fine with automatic even though I grew up driving a manual. In my area and at my age an automatic is easier. And sometimes others drive my car so I definitely wouldn't want them grinding gears on my manual.
Dang the quiet mode still has a nice rumble that is loud
The geese were impressed with the car and were discussing it!
It is strange since before seeing this video I went to the Ford website trying to decide on what Mustang I wanted. Still undecided but I had picked that same configuration as yours, same color, etc. except a manual. Very interesting info about the discounts out there in CO. May be worth a trip out there for a $5K discount. Thanks for another great video. Looking forward to more content with the new Mustang.
Beautiful color! But like the rest of the comments here, you’re buying the last V8 muscle (pony) car, and you should’ve paired it with the manual transmission
We totally agree but if you want to see it on video our videographers have to be able to drive it.
Makes sense, but a guy can dream right? I have to live vicariously through channels like yours because I’m married with young children so the only new car I’m getting anytime soon comes in small packaging and says “Hot Wheels”
@@TFLcargreat chance for them to learn!😂
@@Yourmission9I'm right there with you. I have to experience these things through RUclips because I'm simply not willing to go that far in debt for a vehicle. People paying anywhere from $700 to $1000 a month for a car payment is mind blowing to me, unless they're making a decent annual salary.
The 2014 Mustang GT was way cooler! Smh….
Not even close.
Nice car but I wish they did something different with the gauge cluster. Looks unfinished and almost like they forgot about it and just stuck a tablet as a placeholder.
Awesome purchase guys. Hope to see some road trip videos and it's overall livability.
Overall reliability.
I was interested in a 2024 premium GT… but the amount of screen there is in the car.. I definitely prefer my 07 GT500. It was like half of the whole dash board. And it’s super quiet and does pick up as fast as I would like
Just got base model with 301a. Great advice on get what you want and nothing you dont need.
I just did this. Traded my 2015 GT chipped with full magnaflow for a 2024 Darkhorse. Took me a while for the new one to grow on me but I love it now.
Very nice ride overall, but I’m just not feeling the trend of gauges on a tablet. I love digital gauges mind you, but I don’t get the appeal of just slapping them on the dashboard on what looks like an iPad. Everything else looks and sounds great though!
Funny how dealer said manual harder to sell, but when buying a manual requires dealer premium (markup) 🙄
I still absolutely love analog gauges over fully digital.
I bought a brand new Mustang GT premium in 2006. I got the Ford "A" plan and it was $25,000. 6 years later, traded is for a 2012 Camaro SS 45th anniversary.
I like his choice. A lot of Mustang GT videos deal with GT Premium with PP which is the highest trim before dark horse. This would be more 'wise' and 'practical' (?) purchase in my opinion.
Awesome GT, not a fan of the tablet looking screen in front of the wheel. Needs analog dials/gauges. Like it has 18 in. rims def. gives a smoother ride, not a fan of the black wheels either.
Congratulations on your new Mustang! 310 hp is plenty for me. I can't even max out the hp in my area. I'm sure that you'll put all of your hp to good use.
My wife has been eyeballing a s650 GT to upgrade from her 2016 V6. Hopefully Ford got their quality control under….control.
manual vs auto= engagement with the manual. A mustang isn't the best car at anything but its an affordable gateway into an enthusiasts car.
I recently looked at the new Mustang GT's but they have 2 things that will keep me from ever buying one, (just like new Dodge Chargers and certain Challengers), openings in the hoods for rain and snow to mess up the engine compartment and probably void a warranty truth be known AND the second thing is the capless fuel fill with no locking "cap" or plug available just like the Chargers. People say to me its too hard to siphon gas and I said I'm worried about jealous people putting stuff IN the neck/tank not the other way around.
Congrats on the new Mustang 🎉 excellent choice and the color is beautiful. Enjoy it
Wow that mustang is beautiful but the price is another story to tell 😅,,
Nice purchase. Sad to see the 2014 go though. I still have my 2013 gt
Got one too. It's one of the best looking Mustangs so don't be disappointed.
Literally no reason to get a 2024 GT when u can get an older GT and save tons of dough, and get more performance and premium seats.
his was worth upgrading😂
I ordered the exact same car in manual so I was looking for a good walkaround and came across this video. Feeling pretty excited already! Hope you enjoy it. Subscribed!
There’s a GT in Manassas, VA for $37,xxx
One thing a must have with 450 plus hp car is track pack. Bigger brakes, wider wheels and upgraded wider tires.
The blue and black rims is the perfect color combo
Love that Ford is keeping the V8 alive. I am a truck guy but man this Mustang is making me want one/ Looking forward to more vids with this car!! and yes from a 2023 F-150 owner the infotainment takes a sec to pop up! Its normal
F-150 making Americans overweight for 60 years 😊
Chevy is keeping the V8 alive as well. Idk what these guys are talking about. Plus they're coming out with a new Chevelle. Both can come with a 6.2L and the new Chevelle can come with a new LS6-X twin turbo.
@@Jason_Smith609it’s a Chevy , we already know what’s going to happen to it once its leaves the lot , drop a lifter and need a new engine 😂
You may want to get a different battery. From my experience buying newer Fords sitting on the lot, the battery they are using is garbage. The Auto Stop Start on my Maverick never works in winter and only works in summer if the A/C is running. The battery always reads around 11.9-12.4v in the winter, but 14.3 in the summer with the A/C running. Dealer gave me a run around and said I should be running A/C in the winter. WTF
I had the same experience with the stock battery. It started leaking acid bad. One day it didn't turn on and when I uncovered the battery to do a jump it had massive dried battery acid. I cleaned it off bought a new battery and added CRC battery terminal protector
They are not entirely wrong about the ac in winter as it ensures dry air for defrosting the windshield. Also helps keep the ac in good shape as it’s constantly being used so the pump and seals stay happy.
My start/stop on my 2020 Escape 2.0 Ecoboost works in winter just fine. Just have to drive it regularly is all.
The BMS is different in your older model. It has been a huge problem since 2021 especially in the F150. Upgrading to a bigger battery will generally take care of the issue.@@302Mustang13
@@HookedOnTunaif you have climate control the ac compressor will be running all the time
Congrats! Beautiful car, great sounding as well. Enjoy it. Looking forward to seeing it in some upcoming vids.
Nice to see a sports car without rubber band tires on it, more of a classic look for a change.
That trick also works really well with motorcycles. Buy a motorcycle from somewhere way up north in the winter and ride it back south if you're mad or have it sent to you.
And enthusiasts don't care if something is faster. They want better. Just ask your significant other if they would prefer you were faster or better and you'll have the answer to why you should choose a manual.
Agree with shopping out of area for best pricing. However, many States Lemon Laws only apply to vehicles sold within the State. I have flown twice to a different state. Once saved $15k versus all local dealers.
oh yeah! Coyote V8 Forever !
Just picked up my 2024 GT with the B&Q system and bronze package….
FYI 480hp standard, 486hp with the active exhaust.
Those screens are stuid af, i like the 10 year old one better
Great car guys. I don't buy my manual Mustangs worrying about resale or other people driving it, but that's your choice. Ill be tuning in and waiting for some drag racing with it.
Private sale of Manual Mustang GTs is more profitable. Boomers love a stick shift. Automatics are easier to sell in dealerships because it’s mostly young kids who don’t know how to drive stick. I taught myself how to drive it. Pretty easy to learn on a V8 :)
In the real world, manual trans Mustangs are worth WAY more than autos.
Same deal with Tacomas. The dealer will tell you that there is no market for a manual but read the forums or list your vehicle for sale amd you will have buyers chasing you from hundreds of miles away
It sounded like it was missing on a few cylinders when Tommy revved it...
It did... I instantly thought it sounded rough when he started it. Unless the audio was causing that sound, it definitely sounded like it was missing.
The gloss black accents are really starting to get out of date. A bit of it isn't bad but i do agree that those wheels look cheap and i absolutely hate that gloss black lipstick on the front bumper. Itd look so much better if it was just body colored.
Love that mustang and the older one! Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
I sure like the older dash better. So simple.
Mustang GT V-8 cars are less popular as fuel prices go way up. 42K isn't bad for a almost 500hp sports car. Speaking of basic I bought a 86 Mustang LX 5.0 5-speed with only power windows, sunroof and rear defogger radio delete. It was $11,000 msrp. Way slower of course, but was a mid 14 second car in the mid 80's. Air would have been nice, but for 14 years and 160K miles was a blast!!
I hoped for a manual 😢
That's the perfect Mustang setup, NA 5.0, cloth seats, 18 inch wheels, exhaust.
No, it was ALMOST perfect, the manual would have been the final master's stroke to a masterpiece.
Base horsepower for a GT for 2024 is 480. Getting active exhaust gets you to 486. Just a 6 horsepower bump.
I bought my first mustang GT back in 2002, it was $24,000 and it was a premium. Now, the price has effectively doubled. Salary sure hasn't doubled for most people in the last 20 years. These cars are now unaffordable to the common man. Unless you want to spend a quarter to half of your income on a car payment.
The horror 😢 it was a trade in....for the 14 GT? Good lord...that's the car that brought me to this channel. Thanks for the memories and content
Great car, and I'm amazed at the price. Im not sure I buy the argument given Roman by the dealership, and I think TFL is smart enough to realize that dealers know about winter in Colorado. Now, people working at car dealerships aren't the top brass, and I get that. But the likely real reason this car was so cheap was perhaps extra inventory they weren't expecting, or maybe it was the last day of the month. Either way, I'm glad they got a good deal, and I'm really glad there's still a great car out there I might actually be able to afford. With that said, I just looked at Lakewood Fordland, the cheapest GT they have is $49k, $47k after current discounts.
Love the design, just seems like those screens were an afterthought
Fantastic. My 2019 GT manual might need an upgrade. I have been looking at my local dealer. The active exhaust is wild! Congrats, I'm looking forward to your future content with this vehicle.
I think the coolest and most iconic GT is the GT350 series 2015-2020.
Very nice. Kind of partial to the S197 though. I picked up a 2009 GT 5spd with 22k on the clock about this time last year in Loveland. Sort of wished it was auto, the granny gears and traffic can make driving a workout. Looking forward to future videos.
Sweet ride. 3 years ago I cross shopped 2007-09 4.6 Mustangs with the 2007 Z33 roadster I eventually bought. Came very close to buying an 08 CS coupe.
Equipment Group 301A is dual-zone temp control and Serious XM - for $2,000!! There should certainly be some bargaining room over *that* unnecessary group (that's part of where the dealer shaved your "$5k off the sticker price").
That's pretty much the only vehicle Ford makes that I'd buy. But it's still not my first choice. Love that color blue though!
The explorer st’s are pretty nice aswell, a couple grand has em putting almost 500hp to the wheels.
@@lucian7182 yea, they look ok. But not my thing.
Very cool and that muffler sounds great.
Can you do a summary video on the outgoing stang? What broke what issues etc.
