Joining the Stang family

I found out that the company I work for has X Plan availability for employees and spouses only. Works for me. I just priced out a GT Deluxe on Ford's website and the invoice comes in at $22,528 plus taxes and tags.

GT Deluxe
Windveil Blue Metallic Exterior
Dark Charcoal Interior
Active Anti-Theft System
17" Bright Machine Cast Alum Wheels

I went with a very base model in order to get the payments down and I plan on starting the upgrades within a couple of years and would hate to pay a lot now for something that will ultimately be ripped out.

Any thoughts on their Anti-Theft System? Should I just get someone else to install the typical car alarm system instead?

The order should go in next weekend and I have already told them I can't pick up until the last week in January (not a problem as they told me they don't expect it in until then or the first week of Feb).

Thanks to all of you. If I had not stumbled across this forum I would have spent more money on a V6.

Thanks for the feedback. The only negative is financing that extra bit when I could get it for cash on my own. LOL, I am a shopper.

I will probably order just as above but also with the locking lugs. I tried pricing different rims to justify not going with that upgrade but the ones I pick out are WAY more than the $195 Ford is charging.

Thanks again!

I don't think I could put it off that long.

Plus my friend needs a car ASAP and is willing to pay much more than I would get in a trade for my old ZX2.

I called my insurance company and nearly had a heart attack on the rates. It is $1000 more per year than my ZX2 ($800 v $300 every six months). Might have to eat nothing but udon from the asian market for a month or twenty.

LOL, I reread what you wrote but after getting a shower that woke me up a bit, sorta. Got ya.

Usually when the whoops we collected too much in taxes IRS checks come out I have an emergency. Pet surgeries, family emergencies, unexpected bills, etc, etc. This year I thought I was free and clear so I purchased a bedroom set, the first one I have had since I was ten. Thought since I had a house like a grownup, I should have some grownup furniture that did not involved the home entertainment unit but as soon as I ordered it.....

Plus there is already so many things out there and the cars haven't been out that long. Let's see I want tinting, stripes, better stereo, gps...... Guess I will be considered high maintenance for awhile.
