Lol, I think the GT vs V6 comment was meant between a 2011 and 2010.

I stayed away from the demo, but was tempting. The sales guy didn't seem excited to sell it cheap, just talked invoice. But that was while we were making small talk until the paper work was ready for my neeeeww CAAAARR : )

Yep, I left with a Kona Blue V6 Premium 2012 with some nice options.*

I did ask a couple time that our negotiation was OTD, I was told yes. It came out to 5 dollars more a month. I put my foot down. I never complained much about the $300 swap, but this change added 360 to the run of the loan. They managed to get my 3.5% interest down to 3% to cover the change.

Enjoying the car. Will be taking it to get detailed at the dealer today. Really like the camera and overall power, plus how quiet, solid and safe it feels. Hands free call with sync worked great on the first drive. I didn't drive at night, but as the sun set I used the HID headlamps. I kept worrying the highbeams were on, seeing how far they hit objects, but the edge of the light was low enough to not hit other drivers.

Oh, when my parents were checking the car. My mom had a key and went to the trunk. She did not know there was no keyhole and assumed it was the camera. Aaaahh!!!. She tried to push the key into the lens a couple times! Luckily there was no scratch.

Hi timothybh,

Congrats on your new Mustang! I'm glad everything worked out for you. Now show your mom all of the cool features so she doesn't accidentally cause harm to the 'stang!

Yes, I know. I already addressed it in a response above. I was thinking about the 2010 GT not the 2011. Sorry to get it wrong.

I think you made the right choice. I'm sure it has plenty of power for you. In the long run it will be a lot less expensive with teh cost of gas and insurance. Just think of it as having the power of a 2010 GT. Don't forget, the 6 speed auto gets you some additional acelleration over the 2010 GT auto. It's not always just about HP, gearing a big part of preformance.

Thanks again for everyone's help. All of your comments helped keep me sane while dealing for a car. I can't wait get some decent photos taken.

Here are some photos I took this morning with my iPhone. Accidentally had HDR on, plus some processing in Photoshop. Plan to take some with a real camera eventually.

I like the dark blue better the previous blue offered. Most of my life I have been a "Blue" person. But I do like my silver stang I currently own.
It looks sharp. Congrats

I'm still curious about that 5000 mile "new" GT. I'm sure someone will get a good deal on it.
