I thinking of trading in my Ecoboost
I traded my 2010 GT Convertible in on a 2015 Ecoboost premium with the PP over 6 months ago. I am really missing my GT Vert. I can not afford a new GT convertible and would like to keep the payment close to the same. I am looking hard at a 2013-2014 GT Convertible Premium right now. The price range is around $25k range.
I really like the 2015 styling and it is a great car but I think the 2013-2014 was the nicest looking body style since the 60's early 70's. Since it is winter I am hoping to find a clean, low millage, example around where I live.

I agree and I am not saying the Ecoboost is a bad car. I just miss the sound of my V8 more than I thought. I also miss dropping the top and making a day of it with a cruise. The 2015 is a really cool looking car but I am missing the look of the S197. It feels more like the older muscle cars to me.
Also I wish I had not gotten the PP on my 2015. It has a real harsh ride on the freeway. My 2010 was not as jarring when going over expansion joints on the bridges down here. I feel every bump in my Ecoboost.

If you really like the s-197 better then I am sure there are a lot 13-14 vert GTs out there but if its just the V8 you miss could you wait a year or so and get a used 15-16 GT vert?

I love many aspects of the Ecoboost but in the end I am day dreaming about the S-197 and really miss it. If I do get one I will make sure to get the Coyote 5.0 this time around.

I put a huge down payment down when I bought it so I am no where near being upside down. I am going to take my time to find a low miles car in the color combo I want.

Have you seen the GT premium interiors? Those are actually really nice on the S-197s. I love mine.

I can see you missing the 'vert when you live in such a great climate by the ocean. We can't imagine not cruising 'topless' here in the summer or on vacations. I think your timing is excellent to be looking for a convertible. Sales are slow as molasses in the winter. The further north you go the better the deal. It's worth the drive. Good luck with the search.
