Stealership has a Sterling Grey 5.0 coupe for $24898 (34xxx miles): Auto, 18 inch wheels, tan, interior. Im not fond of the low rent looking 18's but that can be taken care of, I am more interested in any first year problems with the Coyote?

 

What a rip off!
You can get a brand new 5.0 for a little more than that with an x plan and 2k(3k?) of incentives.

 

How do you go about getting 2-3 grand in incentives? And also what is the x plan?

 

how do you do this? haha, I cant get a 2013 for under 36k (leather is the only add on besides it being pretty basic) southern california dealers are horrible.

mine is asking 28,900 for a 2012 gt

 

Join mca(mustang club of america) which gives you ford partner only discounts and on top of that all of the incentives you get from a '12 or '13 now.

When i said a little more i dont mean it for a gt premium. I mean it for a bare bones 5.0 like the OP described.

Do your homework and it pays off.
I ended up saving 5.5k on my car because of it. I even made my dealer give me $500 out of their $700 earnings on my deal in exchange of a perfect survey lol

Oh and the $750 off coupon too from ford.com/brochure

This only applies to new cars only

Google ford x plan benefits and see all that you can get with it

 

MCA website says nothing about discounts under membership benefits.

 

Google mca x plan benefits... I feel like im spoon feeding you.

 

Not sure about all the first year problems but since its an auto you can cross off MT-82 problems on that list.

I have a 2012 gt and the transmission has been fine for me though.

Like some has posted. I would try looking for
any new 2012 5.0s for around that 25k price range. Should be possible if you have a trade-in plus any discounts or incentives. I got mine for 28k around 8 months ago.

 

these guys are steering you true - 25k for a 35k miles 2011??? you can get a 2013 base for 31k.... (msrp) and with discounts and x-plan almost the same price.... do your research and find something better.

check out this thread:

you can see what you can get now on 13's - why go for an 11?????

 

Where did he say bare-bones? From what I read, that could easily be a premium. He wasn't really very descriptive other than 'low rent 18s'... and some folks kinda hate the standard 18s on the premium.

 

Sometimes you have to do their homework for them...

 

Well, I would love to get a '13 but I can afford $25000, going to look at it here shortly.

 

As a happy owner of a decked out 2011 gt premium, I have had no significant problems. I recently had to pay $200 to have a knocking problem coming from my ac system, fixed in my dash. That is my only repair. I enjoy my car every time I get behind the wheel.

 

1st year Coyote here and mine has been fine. I work for a Ford dealership (so please stop calling them stealerships) and we just sold an '11 5.0L for $21,950 that had about 30K miles on it (it was a base 5.0L with cloth interior). If the one you're looking at is a premium model, then $24,898 probably isn't a bad price.

 

Got to look at the car: Definitely not a Premium GT, going to do some calling around tommorow.

@Bucko, Im sorry that I didn't dig deeper for the MCA discount, but with a $2000 rebate plus $950 in local rebates I am going to search around my area (Chattanooga, TN)

 

go to fordpartner.com

type in the code eaa01 that'll show you x-plan price. base '13 GT on X-Plan $29,416. They have $1,500 cash back in my zip code right now. If you "order" brochures from ford.com they will send you a brochure with "retail cash back" vouchers. $250, $500, or $750. Order a few and get the $750 if you are lucky. That give you $2250 off of the already discounted XPlan price. Out the door you can take home a brand new 2013 Mustang GT Coupe for $27,166.

With X Plan, it's a set price, no haggling or bull****. To qualify all you have to do is join the Mustang Club of America. Just a $50 due to join the MCA.

I did this on my '13 Mustang GT Premium Convertible. Sticker was $45,065. XPlan Brought it down to $42,314 - and then with with all discounts $40,064. All that before I even put money down or anything.

Plus -- I almost forgot. Instead of charging you an additional $750 for processing and delivery and crap, they can only charge $750, so for any misc crap you also save a lot.

God it makes me sick that my car is a 45k car, and I've modded it a lot already, with 70 more payments to go..

 

I love my 2011, automatic trans. But the 12s have a few niceties that the 11s do not:
Interior vanity mirror lights.
Interior visor-mounted HomeLink.
Adjustable steering settings.
Adjustable front head-rests.
For your info...good luck!

 

Having owned both an '11 GT Premium and a '12 GT Premium, my impression was that the '11 was actually slightly better in build quality. Other than the minor model year differences cited above, I would consider an '11 equal to a '12.

One note: my '12 was an early model year car (built in early June 2011) and it lacked the adjustable headrests, so I bought a pair from MRT that basically do the same thing as the '13 headrests. So the adjustable headrests were a running change made some time during the 2012 model year run.

 

That's about what I paid for my 2011, GT....M6, premium in July, 2012...BUT, mine only had 2,400 miles on the clock. It was/is pristine. To me, it was a brand new car.

All in all, that is not a horrible price, if the car is perfect. (and , it's an auto, which is an option) My 2011 runs great, and the slightly notchy MT82 was 100% fixed by the additiion of Redline MTL. Now, it's perfect.

 

I found a '13 Deep Impact Blue GT in Atlanta, GA.......going to get it tommorow afternoon.

Will post up pics when I get it.
