    Car finally arrived....

    Thank you everyone for the compliments. I've now had it 8 days and am at close to 400 miles. Every day I walk out to my garage and just shake my head that I finally have the car and the grin doesn't leave my face for the entire drive to work. I have a 10 mile round-trip commute so the rest of...

    Car finally arrived....

    I've had no shift knob issues as of yet but then I park in a garage at work and the garage at home. I have a couple of micro fiber towels in the car in cast it gets too hot! :-) I got the tint installed today and will have a detail session in the morning but then will take some newer pictures...

    Car finally arrived....

    Lava doesn't do this. It looks black in a lot of light depending on the time of day but in bright direct light goes from black to a very deep red. On my registration they labeled the color as "black" to avoid confusion. It's a fantastic color and pictures don't really do the metallic red...

    Used S197 buying guide? 06-09 'vert.

    Here is the original window sticker for that car: http://services.forddirect.fordvehicles.com/inventory/WindowSticker.pdf?vin=1ZVFT85H775304273 The car was built in February 2007. So it's 4.25 years old. The original MSRP was 36,075 so I have a hard time believing that it's worth $26k...

    Lava Red... the pics make it look a bit more purple that it really is -- it's a deeper red. Going to try to get some "truer" pics in the next few days.

    Sync problems

    I just got my 2012 Mustang a few days ago and have had no problem with my iPod and voice commands. It's an 5th Gen 80GB iPod Classic if that helps.

    Car finally arrived....

    Thanks for the tip on the shifter knob and for the compliments on the car. I do soooooooo love it!!!!! The shifter knob actually is one of my favorite parts. I ordered the 401a only having seen it in pictures and it's 10x more impressive in person. I think other than the NAV some of the...

    Car finally arrived....

    If you definitely want Lava I would do everything possible to get one of those two cars. I don't know about a quality hold (my car was built 6/9 and delivered in Florida on 6/16) but Lava Red is balanced out and won't be back until 2013 at earliest. The easiest thing if they don't do the gear...

    Mustang Safety?

    Yes, at 17 this is all the protection you need for the back seat:

    2012 GT quoted price

    Yes... but I would get an "Out the door" price from them before deciding if it's "too good to be true". I had a dealer that was going to order the car for me for dealer invoice which was great but once we sat down to talk about the deal they added about $1200 in dealer fees which made it not...

    New '12 GT on the way!

    I am getting too old for this *****

    Yes, I've already been struck with this and had to calm myself down. I don't have a car yet and had about $2000 worth of plans not because I need anything but because I *think* I need it. I put a moratorium on car part ordering until August. I have a Barton shifter bracket that I'll put on...

    I am getting too old for this *****

    +1. A friend of mine from work called me two days ago to ask about buying a Mustang. He was just looking for a base V6. I told him to join MCA to get X-plan and order a brochure from Ford so he got the $750 private cash coupon electronically via email. Couple that with the current $500...

    Wheel help!

    If you're going for change, I would go with the GT500 style wheel. IMO the GT Premium wheels are too similar in style to the nickels you already have.

    Help with Color

    Great set of pictures. I would have to agree with the black/red description. Can it look purple? I don't think so. It can look maroon or brownish in pictures but it's not a true representation of the color. Kona turned me off because it looked purple at times but I can't get enough of Lava. My...
