Bought a one owner low miles 2014 GT 'vert
Saying hello to some new folks in this section after many years in the 2005 - 2009 section.
We traded in our 2007 GT/CS 'vert for this 8,800 miles GT convertible. I only sold the 2007 because of the manual tranny getting tough to shift (knee issues). This 5.0 engine, with it's 120 extra HP over my 4.6, makes up for the loss of the 5 speed.
We bought it in Wisconsin at a Ford dealer last week after driving 850 miles up there from western NC with our 2007. They treated us very well and we drove home safely despite the original 'rock hard' Pirelli tires still being on the car. I immediately bought new rubber (Goodyear Exhilarate) and the car handles and drives 'like new'. Very impressed.
I spent many hours detailing the car to 'my standards' and here it is at an overlook near my home.
Very Nice! Sure is sharp! Like those wheels, are they stock? I think you found a nice one. Nice photos. Best wishes and hope this is as good or better than the GT/CS!

Thank you so much!
Yes, the window sticker states that the wheels were a $995 option as a 19" Painted Aluminum Wheel.. That just added to my excitement about the car as I really like the 5 spoke design.
Everything has been wonderful so far. I just replaced the cabin air filter as it was full of some type of seasonal Wisconsin flower stuff. Filled all the crevices. It's a shame we had to breathe that stuff in all the way home. Who knew? Ford is out of the cabin filters so I ended up with a Fram, Made in China. I'll put up with it for a year or two and hopefully Ford will get the filters back in stock. I need to check ebay too. I was just in a rush to get that pollinated filter out of there. Yuck!

^^^ Thanks! Saying goodbye to one section of owners and saying hello to another. I'm hoping for a bit more activity here and certainly appreciate the owners that respond all over the site, or this could be really quiet.
B-U-T-ful Dave. Our previous '13 GT auto vert was rock solid. It went on quite a few long road trips, and was very comfortable to boot. Enjoy your new baby, I hope it serves you well my friend.
Here's a couple pics of ours out in South Dakota after a stay in Deadwood. Pay no attention to the old guy, the wife picked him up somewhere along the way.

^^^ I enjoy hearing that. That will be us, driving all over, just like in our GT/CS. By the way, we probably did the same SD route as you. Look at part of Mt Rushmore in this photo. I was impressed by my own photography skills.

Was wondering where you disappeared to Jim, as we haven't seen you around here in ages... Meanwhile, welcome back... Rocky!
I love the green color. It looks so beautiful. I also want to buy GT and that is why I am gathering money. I am playing online casino games to earn money. I have found a site recently where I found an article on DELETED and it helped me a lot. Now, I can easily earn money by playing online casino games.
