2013 vs 2014 Mustang GT
Hi Everyone,
I went to the dealer the other day to get info on the 2015 mustang, the Sales man ended up doing some numbers for me to see if I qualify for the 2014 first. Although I do qualify, it's a hassle and payments are too high. So I got an idea of trying to look elsewhere for the 2013 model.
Now i know the 2013 and 2014 don't really have any changes in the specs, same Horsepower and Torque. My question is:
Are there any differences in the Exterior/Interior? Does the 2013 & 2014 look different in any way or are they exactly the same?
If any of you have any pictures for reference I'd highly appreciate it!
Thank you!

I have to disagree with this. I have a 2014 that was built September 2013. The LED's are on all the time.

You might want to check out this brand new, 2012 leftover...

There are pros and cons of buying a brand new, but almost 3 model year old vehicle. It might be a way to get into a GT 'vert though.
Good luck

Sounds to me like you need to wait and save your money up until you can put enough down to get the payment where you need it.
The other thing is that you NEVER, NEVER, EVER buy a new car by talking about the payment you can afford with the dealer. You negotiate the price as if you are paying CASH, then when the best deal is made, you then negotiate the financing.
Otherwise, the dealer will get you for every cent they can.

If the payments on a new '14 are too high then buying a new '13 isn't going to make that much difference in the payment. Sounds to me like you need to wait and save your money up until you can put enough down to get the payment where you need it. The other thing is that you NEVER, NEVER, EVER buy a new car by talking about the payment you can afford with the dealer. You negotiate the price as if you are paying CASH, then when the best deal is made, you then negotiate the financing. Otherwise, the dealer will get you for every cent they can.
With that know how you can calculate in your own home what you can afford. When you then go to the dealer, you can use Xplan price as a start.

Also, it would be hard for me to believe you could get anything older than a 2014 for much less, as you see the Ford incentives will probably only apply to 2014 models so there is less money taken off the MSRP or invoice price of held-over 2013s. With Ford offering dealers extra rebates to move their cars you may actually be able to find 2014's for less than a 2013 that doesn't have any manufacturer rebates.

One of the local dealers here has a bunch of new 2013 GT coups (not the Premiums) with manual transmissions for about 26-28 thousand.
A friend of mine just bought a white 2013 GT convertible with an automatic from this dealer for $32,500.00 out the door with all the warranties. So you can get a deal on a 2013.

I saw that too and was worried my March '14 build would not have the LEDs, but they came through like all the others.
Though I believe when in gear they are a bit dimmer than if they are on via the parking light switch when the car is parked.
My car was built March of this year and they seem to be the same as the '13 models, completely irrelevant to the bullet point referenced above in that other thread, so not sure what that order guide change was all about.
