Congrats..........Wonderful deal I might ad. If you think you are giddy with excitement now wait until you get that CAI/Bama race tune installed. I also suggest some new mufflers for that deep musclecar sound.

Thanks guys, I've seen alot of crazy deals around lately, and it is unfortunate for the guys selling.
C&L racer, and Bama race tune will be the first thing I buy. I'll have fun with the stock power a bit first though, and try to baseline it.
And I was going to buy a Raptor 700, if I couldn't get any dealers to bite. I'm glad I got the Mustang, as a Raptor can wait another year.

Congrats. Nice color. Mines the same color. Mine don't have the leather or the wheels other than that our are about the same. I bought mine with 250 miles on it. At 280 miles I had a JLT and Dougs @ Bamachips tune. I wish I would have went C&L racer. At the time I wanted a intake and tune so I went the cheaper route. You will love it. Congrats again!!!!

It was at least the 7th dealer I tried for a GT, each time going in cold blooded, not hungry. It worked at that place very well, I couldn't be happier.
Alhambra? I live in El Sereno!

I actually was pricing cars there but didn't like the attitude of this one snooty sales lady so I ended up back at Sunrise Ford where I got my '05 GT.

You in any local Stang clubs?

Oh, and congrats on the new Pony!

That's how it works with girls too. I'll try 10, and I can get at least one lol. Luck and chance are very hard for me, unless I try.

Congrat's! It is a buyer's market on anything now (just got the wife a CR-V). The last 08 GT premium left our local lot for $22K. Good for you guys, sucks for our values. But, in the end we all have great cars, and in my opinion a better body style than 2010's.

Amazing deal ... the closest thing around here is a GO 2008 GT at the local dealer... but has no HID and no Ambient Interior lighting and is 23K ... That is an awesome deal.

Yep.
1. they didn't have 08 GT's, which have the highest incetives and deal opportunity.
2. I don't trust porters driving my car 100+ miles to deliver it.
3. they said employee pricing plus is 1k less than D plan. Yeah right
I think it's only less by a 2 digit figure IIRC

Exactly why I got an 08. Price and '10 appearance made it a simple decision.
