Just purchased a 16 base GT
Pretty excited. We went back and forth forever and finally came to terms. As base as you can get with a manual in magnetic.
Big upgrade from the 13 V6 I had before. They let me keep all my parts so I'll be posting a part out thread soon. I'll get some pics up of the new ride soon.

Congrats! I always love to have a car with lots of equipment on it, but like the others have said you have a blank canvas. Not only that, but hey it is a NEW CAR!
Now you get to make it your own. Let the mods begin.

Timing is everything. In my case when I was ready to pull the trigger, 2014's were in the twilight zone. They could no longer be ordered, yet weren't considered leftovers since the factory was just tooling up for the S550. I was relegated to selecting mine from existing inventory.
My requirements were a GT Premium 'vert with the 401A interior and a manual transmission and no electronics package. Those things were etched in stone. Mine came with the back-up sensor (no camera) and the convenience package (heated seats/mirrors), both of which I could have done without, but were an OK compromise. Black wasn't even a consideration (it's a love/hate relationship) but considering the $3750 in Ford incentives and another $3500 discount from the dealer, it was a significant motivator to buy off the floor.
Had I been able to order just 2 weeks earlier, my Mustang would look different. No complaints at all though...as the song goes, Que Sera, Sera.

First mods on the way. Took advantage of the AM wheel blow out and ordered the MMD holgens 20x10 all the way around and got some 275/35 Nittos from discount tire direct.
Working with Steeda right now for some suspension stuff and need to decide which exhaust to get. It's way too quiet. My V6 with ATAKs was way more aggressive. Can't have that.

The two options I would have gotten if I could do it over. My only option is the automatic, but adding the Brembos and Recaros would have made it perfect.

Nice pics, love the wheels. I thought I had my mind set on either Ruby red, guard or maybe black, but now I'm thinking of staying with gray. I'm still getting compliments on my 14 base GT and it is the easiest car I've had to keep looking clean. I found two 16 gray GT's both around 32k, one is a base with auto (which I think I want this time) and the other is a premium, but it is manual. I wish I could find a prem auto for around 33k, but cheapest I can find is around 35k at least anywhere close to where I live. IDK, maybe I should be patient as prices seem to still be inching down, but selection is too closer we get to the 17's coming out.
