yep.. depends on where you are at..I ordered premium(33,145) auto (extra 1195), louvers/scoops/decklid(extra 720), and comfort package (dual heated/power seats, 595) i'm paying 33,500 on it, sticker on it was 36,505.. and we dont have sales taxe or dmv fees (we do have registration, which will be about 400/yr till it loses value, paid after owning it a month) so.. from what you've listed i'd say no, not a good deal. the security package is just wheel locks and an active instead of passive security that all mustangs get (active will go off from loud noises, passive takes movement of the vehicle or inside of it, which is what i'd prefer to have)

The engine won't start without the specific code from your key, nothing immobilizes it. that is standard, the alarm going off from opening a door is standard, what isn't standard that I thought was standard is that it will detect if it's being towed and movement inside of it, that is the active anti-theft.
What i thought active anti-theft was just like a regular car alarm that goes off from any little thing.
These things will deter a regular person, but someone who knows what htey are doing will quickly disable it... these cars still get stolen, just not nearly as much as they used to. what's interesting is none of fords cars are on the top 10 most stolen list anymore, it's almost entirely GM made vehicles.
