Default looking to buy.

Looking at a 2017 GT V8 with 2000 miles. Manual & leather. What's not to like? What say ye? Yeah or nay -Lol

Don't want to join after the fact and read a bunch of remorseful posts. Help!?

Indeed, what is not to like? Can't think of anything not to like.

Thanks for the reply. To be honest I'm a little nervous about keeping the black looking good.
But it's just too awesome looking to pass up. Been watching and listening to some exhaust mods.
I'm sure that's a must have. Is there a list of the most popular mods? Pipes, shifters, breathers, etc.

IMO depending on whether on not the car has the performance option with the suspension and bigger brakes, the only real mod it needs is perhaps an exhaust mod, preferably axle back. If it doesn't have the performance package I would get the street or track package from Ford Racing which would include shocks, springs and sway bars. I don't believe in chasing 20hp with CAI and tunes. They usually end up causing more problems than its worth.

This car does not have the performance pkg. I'm thinking a flowmaster axle back system is all I need, maybe a breather upgrade?
Whatever I do I'm pretty sure I'm going to be stoked with the car. It needs some wheels. Stock wheels look a bit cheesy on the black.

CAI are a waste of money without a tune and tunes lead to problems.
