Prepurchasing Questions For 2016 Or Later Mustang Gt

So, I have always thought highly of the early model Mustangs but I never fell in love with the late models until the 2016 model was released. I cannot take my mind off of buying one. I started doing some research about the proc and cons, and the likes and dislikes, and the first 10 mods to get when buying a Mustang GT. So here is what info I have accumulated to this point:

1. Buy the Mustang GT Premium with the wheel and performance packages----Good choice, that's what I have, but a convertible.
2. Buy Track suspension package ???----If you're not going to take it to track day events, don't waste your money, the stock performance pack suspension is basically the ford racing street handling package anyway.
3. Buy springs to eliminate body roll and wheel gap.----If that's what you like, go for it.
4. Buy new tires----The pirelli P-Zero's that come with the PP are decent tires, but they are summer only.
5. Tint windows----Your choice
6. Buy after market exhaust system----Definitely, go to your local show and shine cruises and talk to other S-550 owners and listen to their setups and see what you like. I put on the ford racing sport mufflers by borla, and its a little too high pitched for my taste, eventually I want to switch them out for the magnaflow competition series


Here are my worries:
1. Is the body gap/alignment really that bad?----No, it's pretty good
2. Does the paint get chipped that easily?----Yes, put a heavy coat of wax on the nose, it helps
3. Does the motor leak oil easily? why?----No, not that I have seen.

Please let me know what you think about this information. I think I'm purchasing around May 2018.

Thank You

To be fair about the depreciation. There aren't many cars/trucks that don't do the exact samething.

True, my point was a low mileage used one would be a better buy since he was looking at specifically the 2016 (2015-2017 models).

No use paying a premium when the 2018 are coming out.
