Just bought a 2012
Just got off of the phone with the dealership. They're sending the paperwork my way tomorrow and my car was moved to the back of the lot. Once I get the paperwork signed and sent back USAA is wiring the dealership the money and my father is going to store it until I get home. I know I posted these in another thread but I thought I would share the enjoyment. I can't wait to drive this ****! It's a 2012 GT 5.0, Kona Blue, charcoal black interior, 6 spd manual, 3.73's and the Brembo package.
In case you hadn't read the other post I'm active duty military. Stationed in Illinois, buying the car in Colorado (where I'm from). I transfer out of Illinois in 3 1/2 weeks to San Diego. I will fly to Colorado from Illinois, pick up the car, spend about a week there with my family and then I'm driving to California in it.

Knowing what I know now, I should have bought through USAA too. Better interest loans and back when I found out about their deals, they could have gotten me better than x plan savings.

let someone else drive it for the next 3.5 weeks so you can get some miles on that motor. There isnt much guidance on how to break the motor in, but they do say specifically to not do long steady rpms for the first couple hundred miles (i.e. a drive from colorado to california).
Congrats on the car!
