Boss Track Attack Question
Hey, I found a used boss for sale at a Chevy dealer 
It has less than 800 miles on it! Under $39k...
Since I will be the second owner will I be able to sign up for the Boss Track Attack program?? The original owner did not sign up.
Thank You
Possible new Boss owner

The 12 Boss is about 2k more than the 13 GT Track Pack car. What would you do? Obviously the boss has much more potential. Its not going to be a daily driver. Weekend toy and occasionally drive to car shows.

You get the owners package, track attack, limited run numbered car, and the engine is incredible!

Haha its not just for car shows! Im a huge car guy I plan to go to atleast 1 track event this year. I just wanted to see the overwhelming responses of GET THE BOSS. Im going to the dealer tomorrow to see if they will budge anymore on the 39k.
Whats included with the Owners package? What else should I ask for that the original owner should have received?
All I know is that it comes with both keys (black,red) Car cover (unopened), boss floor mats, and theres a box in the car. It contained a key chain and a DVD im guess the DVD is from the speed channel?
BTW I've been drowling over the boss since it came out. Almost ordered one new last year but my bank account is in much better shape now haha

GET THE BOSS! For so many of the good reasons that others have listed above. I wanted one so badly, but I needed some more comfort features for wifey, so I got a GT and did some mods instead. But I LOVE the Boss! They are amazing. A very special car. Enjoy!

While it would be nice if the original owner gave the dealer the owners package don't be surprised if it doesn't have it. The key chain and the letter are the only items specific to the car. Does it have the Recaro/Torsen option? Good luck!

It states TracKey Active in the message center in the dash. You'll know if it's activated. Just because you have a red key doesn't mean it's activated. They all come with red and silver keys. It should also have the CARB decal with the car and many mount them under the hood.

Yes, you get a certificate with the production number and color number. Would be great if you can get your hands on that. It should also hopefully come with a book on the history of the Boss 302 in racing, engineering and design, of the old and the new. It is a great book, hopefully you will get that as well.
Good Luck! Get the Boss, you will never look back!

I signed for the Boss today! I will be driving it home monday (working all weekend). Yes the car does come with a car cover but they do not have a certificate for the car. The owner bought it in September and only put 800 miles on the car then traded it in for a ZL1. I cant see why, the ZL1 is fugly with cartoonish wheels haha they just looked waaay too big and out of place.
Maybe I can order a certificate... Does anyone know who to speak to about the Boss Track Attack program? Hopefully if I can get in touch with the right people I can still sign up for the event.
Thank for all the help this is a great forum!

I've been so busy working with all the Boss guys (amid the other programs) that I've not been on here lately. (Currently at the Steamboat Springs event...found a few guys from the site here today at the autocross!)
IMO it all comes down to value. BTA 1-day is free from Ford, but the normal Mustang 2-day school is just $3550 including FR500S and Limited Liability upgrades. BTA for a similar 2-day program costs about $1650, so if you save $1900 or more there is greater value in a pre-owned car than a new one. Precious few got their Boss without some premium added to list price new as well...that has to be considered.
I drove here in a 2013 Boss...one thing is certain, you NEED this car!

Congrats Brian! I think you got a great deal - a few thousand off the price for only 800 miles, it is essentially brand spanking new. You will love it. Glad you got the car cover - that's a nice GWP (Gift With Purchase). There is Boss Track Attack posts on this forum, do some searching, and you'll get all the info you need. As for your certificate, try contacting FoMoCo North America directly, maybe they can help you. Also, there is a Ford Rep on this site, UserName is "FordCustomerService", person's name is "Deysha", maybe she can help you if you contact her via this forum. Good luck, and I'm sure you will LOVE that Boss, especially on the track.
