Little '10 pricing help.
#21
I don't really care if it's a deluxe or premium. Although the premium would be awsome, beggers can't be choosers. What's important to me is it is a GT and stick. Those are the unwritten rules with a mustang. I can always take the money I save down the road and slap a charger underneath the hood. Right now I am just hoping for a loan approval.
Anyway, I never found out what the 3.73 rear axel package does? Does anyone know?

Most of the performance oriented guys want the 3.73 rear for this reason . . . I wanted and got the 3.31 rear because it gives a little better gas mileage, and the fraction of a second quarter mile time won't really matter to me.
I think the 3.73 rear axle package also includes some other minor improvements -- high performance brake pads?

Hi again, we're posting at the same time . . .
$25K is an almost unbelievable deal for a Premium, a good deal for a Deluxe . . . I think you should be able to find a Deluxe for $25K relatively easily, if there are any left . . . I think I saw one or two around here while I was looking

Yeah, this is the only deluxe I have seen. Still a good looking car for only a deluxe, I was impressed. The thing I really like about the premium is the leather wrapped steering wheel. That's the only real down side to the deluxe IMO. Out side of that, I think the new cloth is pretty sharp. I hated the 05-09 cloth though, stamped ponys or the word mustang, looked tacky. Glad to see they made it look more mature.

The cheapest GT with a stick is what I want LOL. The dealers from Ford near me that I know of have no 2010's left, outside of the two I told you about. Some others have verts, but that is to much money for me. Even after the discounts. My goal is to get the car as close to 25k as possible, lower is obviously better.
I was able to get my 2010 GT for $22,894 back in March and it's the base model with a stick, it also has the 3.73 gear package. I got that price w/out haggling and I even went to another closer dealer to see if they'd match that price and they did.
It was listed on Ebay at $23,194 w/ a "Best Offer" option. I submitted an offer of $22,500 and they came back with an offer of $22,894. So after tax tags and title it came out to a lil over $25k.
If it helps I still have a copy of the email somewhere and can forward it to you.

I think the standard 18 inch wheels they give you are way better that the polished 18 wheels you got on the 05-09 mustangs.
As I was test driving it, I was on the highway and I wanted to really feel its power, so I really started to push the car, and I couldn't believe I was close to 100 MPH and it didn't even feel like it. Once the tak hit that 6 RPM area in first and second, it was just insane. This car totally rocks. I gotta edit my signature now.
