I love my 2013 Boss 302 and am really not concerned about holding value, the car is unique no matter how many were produced.

That is not how Ford marketed the car. Their claim is that the S550 is faster around the track than the BOSS.

The Boss is a head turner. Isn't that part of what it's all about? Enjoy the snot out of it.

I could not remember what years they made the Mach 1. And I'd still like to have a nice Boss 302.

I loved the previous Boss generation and thought if they ever bring that body style back I'd have to buy one. Then not only did they do retro but also they brought the Boss back. Right then and there I had to have one! It is soo much fun and I could care less about if it'll be worth something because I got it for me!

I think the 302 Leguna Secas will hold value quite well over time, an after the depreciation curve hits its low (like right about now, I think). It's a unique, low production special of a special. Having said that, the market is still in flux, and still settling. Today, a prototype, low miles 08 Shelby GT 500 Super Snake hammered at the Bohnams auction in Arizona for mid-30's - a very low price for an exceptional, 600 hp car. Part of the problem may have been selling it through Bohnams, which is better known for classic exotics and imports, and not American muscle. It might have done significantly better at Mecum. And, speaking of Mecum, today the hammer fell on a 2012 Boss 302 Leguna for $35K, and with premium, puts it near $39K. I think Legunas are at their bottom, and will creep up in the years to come.

Even though mine is a garage princess they can be a daily driver. My biggest complaints would only be premium gas, gas mileage, lack of creature comforts and depending on tires the temperature where you live.

Does it really require premium gas; does not self-adjust to allow the use of 87 or 89 like the other Coyote cars?

And are the interior options limited, like no Shaker / Sync?

Those other issues are typical Mustang, not specific to the Boss; and tires can be changed. Personally I don't think I'd have any issue with it as a daily driver at all.

Yes premium fuel only and if you had a long commute that could get quite costly. I'm perfectly fine with what creature comforts that it did come with but others might want heated seats and etc. of which it didn't offer. Just saying.

There is really no reason to not buy it as a daily driver. Truthfully the way the packaging was done on my V6 it was not a Daily Driver either if you lived in a cold climate since it had summer only rubber on it also. I would have no problem DD a Boss over just about any other Mustang from the S197 era and since I am not in the market for a GT500 or Laguna Seca I am pretty safe DD any of my Mustangs.
BTW My Boss Powered Pick Up is my Daily Driver while my Brembo V6 stays in the garage most of the winter.

That was Ford's name for it not mine.

Ford had the BOSS 302, the BOSS 351 and the BOSS 429. I never could understand why they only sold the BOSS 302 and didn't 'also' offer a BOSS 379 (6.2L) for 2012-2013

I also wish they would have offered the shaker hood like they did with the first generation Bosses!

That would have been nice, it would also have made the car more unique other than the stripes and grille that it seems like everyone made a copy of.
