This ^ return to stock and sell it if need be.

My 2013 GT w/3.73 gears cost $27,519 before taxes.

I love how people with cheap base cars are appraising cars... yeah, go get a GT premium for $28k new...never mind the fact that for his car to sticker $40k it probably has things like nav as well. My opinion, put the car back to stock, then go take the 31200 offer from the dealer and dont forget you're also getting the tax savings on whatever vehicle you buy so that 31200 is more like 33+

reason why im looking at getting rid of it cause i want to decrease my payment cause im looking at new homes, so i dont know what im gonna do rite now, may make some double payments of it for a couple of months and then sell it or trade it!!!
I know where he's getting the $28k from because of buddy of mine just picked up one for $27,500 plus ttl..

I can get a gt premium for $30,859, that's the price without even negotiating. $1500 cash back + Xplan pricing. If I walk in with $28k, i'd be walking out with that car. The dealer gets a kick back from Ford, so all they are really giving up is $2,000 off msrp. They will tell you that they are all ready knocking off $3500, but it's all BS.

I bought my 06 gt premium back in 2006 for $25k.

How is he getting a tax savings?

if dealer buyback his car at ''X'' price, and sell him another car in exchange, the taxes will only be what left between new car minus old car buyback price, if he buy something at the same price, it would just be tax free...inot sure how you call that in english but in here from my crappy translation we would say: accomodite sale that what I did on my part, i sold my lincoln mkz via my uncle business to some guy, so this way it like if my uncle was selling it to the guy, he stored the paper, I bought him the mustang, i sold it like 13k and lets say bought the mustang for 24k, so only paid tax on 11k, saved like 2k cause here we pay two taxes 9.5% and 5%

How is he getting a tax savings?
1. you being able to get the car at x plan pricing is not the norm for everyone, thus, irrelevant.
2. his car had a $40k msrp, which suggests it wasn't merely a premium
3. he mentioned that he would be replacing the car, not simply selling it, which means that if his car is worth 31200, and theoretically he is replacing it with another car worth 31200 he wouldn't pay any tax on the new car, therefore saving another 2-3000 depending on the tax rate his state charges.

All I'm trying to say is, that people seem to have a **** measuring contest around here. Everyone has paid three fiddy for their car, no one ever buys a car when it first comes out and there are no incentives and everyone gets the car at 2 grand behind invoice. Please.
