......and I missed my five speed BAD! My dealership traded for a 2005 Colorado Red G.T. coupe with black leather interior and a five speed with only, get this, 10,500 miles on it. My 2006 white automatic deluxe has nearly 38,000. Even though I just bought tires for the 18" wheels on mine, I couldn't resist. I'm now the proud owner of this red beauty. My payment stayed within a month or two of the same length of time I owed on the white one, and is within $10 bucks a month of being the same amount. With this red car, I not only got back the five speed, which I missed GREATLY, I got the Shaker 1000 audio system, leather, side airbags and factory theft system. The only thing missing is the 18" fanblades I had on the other car, but I still really like the charcoal Bullitt wheels, even though they've been done to death. This car is also geared 3.55 vs. 3.31 in the auto, and I kept my C&L Predator tune and Racer kit CAI. Plus, I kept my CDC hood struts, factory decorative intake cover, and the little Roush bling pieces under the hood. The only thing I lost that I really wanted to keep was the Silverhorse Racing honeycomb panel. Just afraid I would break it removing it. Had a few other pieces that were not important that I let go. What do y'all think? Sound like a good deal? BTW, they gave me about a $1000.00 worth of equity on trade, so that's why the payment stayed so close. I ended up giving $16,200 plus tax for the car. I think I did o.k. , and I'm pretty happy with it.

 

My only concern is that we could use some paragraph seperation, it's hard to read a big chunk like that. Lol I'm just bustin your *****. Sounds like you got a great deal, congrats!

 

Sounds like a good deal to me. But.

 

I agree about pics, but I haven't had the car long enough to make any yet, and I am too computer stupid to post them if I did. As far as paragraphs go, well, I'm an Alabama guy, and educated in a city school on top of that, so.......well, you know.

 

Type it how ya want it and drive it like ya stole it.
If you get pics later sometime post them. It would be cool to see.

 

i dont understand what he wrote....

 

Sounds nice!

 

Colorado red in 05?

 

Indeed, it would be either Redfire (metallic) or Torch Red (flat).

 

I don't quite understand that either. Brochure says Torch Red. My parts catalog says Colorado Red on my touch up paint part number. I think the paint code is D3. May just be a catalog misprint. Ford ain't the easiest manufacturer I've ever worked for when it comes to parts and accuracy.

 

Torch Red & Colorado Red are the same, code D3.
Ford renamed it with the new 05 & up models.

Congrats on your new ride!
