Hey guys, first a quick background- I'm a total newbie when it comes to Mustangs but stumbling upon the GT350 has been keeping me awake for the past month of so. However, there's no way I could tie up $60k in a car right now. Doing a bit of research led me to the 5.0 with the performance package and possibly the Handling Pack suspension on it to get something still plenty fast and fun both on the streets and very occasionally doing a few HPDE sessions a year. A few questions:
1. Local dealer gave me his best and final on a Magnetic GT with PP for $34500 out the door. Considering the 2018s are out and I see a couple of used ones (2015/2016) with 13-20k miles for around $28k-30k I'm not sure which direction I should go (of course the warranty is something to account for). I was even thinking perhaps waiting until early next year to pick up a low mileage lease return vs. a new 2017 now. I can't decide.
2. How usable are the backseats, I have a 13yo to cart around. I'm planning to keep the family sedan if needed but would be nice not to have the extra car.
3. Looks wise I love the GT350 with stripes (why I even started looking at the Mustangs) so I'm debating between a magnetic with red stripes (aftermarket option?) or a white with blue stripes along with some sort of a smallish spoiler in the back and a few subtle touches (grill insert etc) to get me close to the GT350 looks. Has anyone done it here?
Thanks for any feedback and info.
