New to the site (and Mustangs)!

After test driving about a dozen cars over the past week I decided on the '12 5.0 Premium... just couldn't pass up the $3k cash incentive on '12 models. While none of the cars that I test drove really "clicked" with me, the Mustang absolutely had the best combination of what I was looking for in a car.

I ended up with a '12 Sterling Grey 5.0 Premium 6spd Manual with charcoal black leather, along with optional 3.73, Brembo brake package, comfort package, tape stripe delete, sensing/security package and all-weather mats. Before tax and tags it came to $32,647.44

The alternative was a Kona Blue 5.0 Premium 6spd Manual with all of the above options except for sensing/security and Brembo package, which the dealer wanted to sell to me for $29.5k. The difference, however, was that it was a demo and had almost 3k miles on it and was being driven since September of this past year. I figured the extra $3k was worth it to have an absolutely new car with 3k less miles, 6 more months of the bumper-to-bumper warranty, a color that I loved (as opposed to the Kona Blue which I absolutely did not like), Brembo package and 3.73 option

No pictures, it'll be getting traded/delivered to my dealer early next week

Welcome. Sounds like a nice car. I think you are smart for buying that one over the blue one.
