I always say, its best to buy a car from someone who has the same passion the buyer does for the car they are purchasing. And any of my Valley Forge Mustang or Bad Pony Club members will vouch for my enthusiasm. When I leave work on a Saturday, I leave in the Mustang (I bring it most Saturdays in Spring and Summer) and head right up to a cruise night or car show. I really enjoy meeting new people in the hobby and checking out their cars. Heck, I did over 60 car shows last year, and went to Canada for a Mustang Club of America National Show!! I LOVE IT!!! I've been on here for over 4 years now, and since Ed (ISELLFORD) moved south and is unable to come on the forums (I do know him from the business. He is a SUPER GUY), I kinda became the "go to" guy for questions, insight, problems, pricing and anything I can do to make sure forum members get a fair shake on a new Mustang (or any car for that matter). I've been doing this job for 11+ years and still love it, even though it is rough right now. I just hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel. All I do know, I will never leave the site and love chatting with fellow members. I can do it at work and have no issues with my boss. They encourage me to post up on here and help out.

I was relying on dealers to find any possible other cars that slipped through my fingers with that method, but you know how that can go...They only seemed to be willing to look as far as their sister dealerships, though it didn't stop them from telling me there wasn't a single 08 in a 4 state radius with the options I wanted (even if I dropped the spoiler delete and grabber orange)....

As far as looking for an 08 though, believe me it was painful to hear about the 4k cashback they're offering on them now, and if I can find one setup the way I like I'll jump on it like a hobo on a ham sandwich, so thanks for the link it will help out immensely. Turns out I'll be waiting a little longer anyway for my yearly review...my manager is too busy trying to save his own butt right now before they hire a replacement so he's managed to get two months behind on his review-ees. He's promising to knock them all out by next week but who knows...
