I'm still up in the air on the first Mustang without the power passenger seat and the heated seats. Another dealer here found the same car (WITH the Comfort Package) at a dealership about 3 hours away. It's a bit more than the one here, but they're offering me more for my trade in so it's a wash. I get more for the same amount of money.

However, I do have a question regarding the HID headlights. Are those something that most buyers get or not. The Mustang I drove did not have them and on highbeams it didn't really illuminate the road that well. The low beams were actually better than my BMW but the high beams were a little dimmer. Any comments on that from people who have or don't have them would be appreciated. I guess I could get by without them.

Also, would it make more sense to just order a car with the options I want? Would that be more expensive or the same? I've never ordered a car before.

Thanks.

 

There's a power passenger seat option?

 

Yes. The Comfort Package includes dual power seats and heated seats. $595 from the factory.

 

Dang it, just another thing us 500 owners get screwed out of.

 

HID is very nice.. I do have them and I drive very litttle at night. I live out side of the city, so the roads are very dark. They help more for my driving. LOVE the power & heated seats as they are for the wife enjoy!

 

I bought my 2011 GT without the HID package, which costs $900. I installed an aftermarket HID bi-xenon converstion kit for $200. The difference over base halogen is huge. The light beam is now 10x as strong and 4x as wide.

I have HIDs on my MKZ from the factory. I like them but then again it is the only car out the 4 I own with them and honestly I could live w/o it. They are brighter but I have gone this many years w/o them. The $200 bulb would be a bit harsh when needed.

 

HID is standard on many cars .. including the 2013 Mustangs .. they are a nice option .. and include an Alarm/Security system as well .. so maybe get an insurance discount.

 

The Alarm/Security system is great addition. It works very well.
