Default About to Buy a 2018 Ecoboost

Hi I am real close in buying a 2018 ruby red eco-boost -ten speed automatic with the 101A package . The only option it doesn't have that I like is fog lites---(I see in the 18's fogs in the marker centers..I like this price point.I really don't want to move to a premium if I don't have to.... Is this a good buy for a daily driver long term.. On the test It ran great..I really like the ten speed trans too...Any suggestions or tips from the group---thanks MJB

You can always add fog "lights" later, it's easy.

They don't pre-wire cars like they used to in the past. You'll probably have to add them yourself and run the wiring.
10 speed automatic.... I have read that the car can sometimes "hunt" for the right gear... you're getting up into Semi Tractor gears now...
They don't have a V8 sound, but one passed me once on the street... and it WASN'T slow!

Good luck, post pics if you get it!

Wiring fog ;amps can be as easy as this:


This was a switch added to an S197 factory switch. I am selling one just like
this, it won't work in the 2018, but in any 05-09 Mustang. Just follow the diagram
to wire your own in the Future. It's safer to use a negative trigger, so all the
main wiring is done in the engine compartment, and battery power is right
there. So, just wire a negative trigger for the relay to any switch, factory or
added.

I think, at this price point, this is a great value. Especially with the 10sp auto..later you can add a Cobb Tune and that will wake
up the engine and trans.
You can always add the fogs later.
Have Fun!
