    Just Got ''11 V6 Perf Pkg .. Questions.

    Hello - I just recently got an '11 v6 premium w/Performance Package. It is perfect! The "automatic" rear-view mirror doesn't seem to be. I've got a few tips from reading already. Has anyone "downsized"? That thing is HUGE! The main beef is it blocks a lot of the forward vision. Is there a...

    New In Northern Va

    My first Mustang! Picked up a 2011 Premium Performance Package V6 recently. Very black! The grabber blue rocks, but harder to come by. Located in Leesburg VA. No mods. See you out there!

    Buying Used '11 V6 Perf Pkg W/sync - What To Get?

    Thanks - then I'm good. Got two keys, a thick stack of manuals in a nice cover. There will be contacts in SYNC - ok, I'll work on reading the manuals and do a reset or factory reset of the SYNC.

    Buying Used '11 V6 Perf Pkg W/sync - What To Get?

    I'm buying a used 2011 Mustang ... Besides the title and keys - do I need anything else from the previous owner? I'm not at all read on SYNC, don't know if there are any codes/etc that I would need to know. 2011 V6, Premium, Comfort, Appearance, PERFORMANCE Pkg :-) I should finalize the deal...

    12 or 13 v6 perf pkg?

    After 5 years -- maybe the car will be declared "dead" or you will be ready to move on in 5 more years. V6 - still producing $33/month savings to invest, another $2,000. Confusing - so, if you keep the car 10 years total ... you have another $2000 gas savings (of course, the price of gas...

    12 or 13 v6 perf pkg?

    I appreciate the discussion. Having either would be awesome. The way I might look at it ... Keep the car till death (of the car). They should both last about the same amount of time. Assumption. The difference is $3000. It is $4000. Extend the $4000 at 2% interest is $70/month, or...

    12 or 13 v6 perf pkg?

    If the GT comes up somewhere at 24, or 25, it would be worth it ... at $28 - that is $3K. Or, new laptops for the kids, Mrs, and a new 42" TV and a nice dinner out. That is a lot of cash. Ever try to bum $50 bux off a friend? Gotta think of it as real money you are taking out of your pocket. I'm...

    12 or 13 v6 perf pkg?

    Mods would be limited - cai, exhasut - noise is good (Saves lives!). I just want to drive and enjoy. Some more mods would be ok - there is no substitute for Cubic Inches - but, wheels/tires would be cool. A GT the v6 perfpkg is not, but I appreciate its cool!

    12 or 13 v6 perf pkg?

    I would love to buy a '12 GT (Grabber blue!). I'm getting quoted $28,000 out the door for a base model GT - no options. That is $4k more than the V6 pricing ... but for $24K out the door ... add some Brembro style wheels (like those a lot) and proper exhaust!

    12 or 13 v6 perf pkg?

    Looking very closely at getting a V6 base with the performance package only. I have looked at a few dealers in the DC area. With the new car buying process come a lot of "depends" and fees etc. in trying to find the end price (out the door, including tax tags fees) of a car. Not very much like...

    2012 -deals?

    Sync seems nice - I'm a little leery of Microsoft at the wheel. The 2013 optioned similarly - before rebate etc - is about $110 less. And, it has the option of the Sync w/o premium (and Recaros). Also not sure that the '12 is a super deal - that is like some sort of artform/voodoo - it is...

    2012 -deals?

    The pressure .... for all inclusive tax etc, look that the v6 with perf package, manual, is right at $24k, after rebates etc. Seems pretty good. I actually have stereo questions ... can it input an iPod/usb and XM (external receiver - like to dock at home), and BlueTooth - required around here...

    06 Convertible questions ...

    2009 Convertible ... carmax. Going to check out an 09 convertible at carmax. About $6,000 more than the '06 I was looking at, but 3 years newer, and 30K less miles. The 09 is also a CS - not sure I like the lower body panels and side scoops - most convertibles I've seen don't have that. I...

    06 Convertible questions ...

    Thanks! The VIN tool was not finding the VIN. I'll check again later to see if the site was just busy. So - the rollbar looking thing with a brake light is an owner add? And not a roll bar... good to know. Oh man - that would be cool to go get a new one ...

    Opinions on a GT I'm Considering

    I've been surfing the 05-09 GT for a few months, and prices vary but seem to follow what you would find on kbb or edmunds (I'm in Northern VA). I use that as a guide -and there are all sorts of methods of dealing with a dealer. Check the prices there. Compare at cars.com too. For the 11+...

    06 Convertible questions ...

    Questions actually in this one ... Needed more Diet Coke... Q1: Where or how can I look at the original window sticker by providing a VIN? Q2: Wondering if the factory style bar has a brakelight in it? Q3: Is there a program, or a "phone number" to call that would set up a factory...

    06 Convertible questions ...

    Hoping to test drive an 06 GT Convertible soon ... I recall reading on this forum that you can get a copy of the window sticker, even for an older Mustang: 1ZVHT85H265235449 Carfax from dealer says one owner. Maybe I'll get to a test drive in the next few days! (Plan B: 2012 1/2 v6 perf...

    Rear Track width different?

    I test drove a Performance Package v6, and a GT yesterday, and noticed that it seems the convertibles on the lot had a wider rear track than the coupes. At least the wheels came closer to the edge of the fender. V6 and V8. The brembo equipped coupes were also wide - maybe not as wide as...

    Concerns from previously bent control arm?

    I'm looking at used convertible s197 GT. A close by black 2006 shows a control arm replaced in Feb? Snow/ice/curb? Dealer emailed a copy of the carfax - this is the only issue (lots of regular maintenance visits to Ford dealer on the carfax). Lower control arm replaced Alignment...
