The doors sills might be part of the IUP, I don't remember.

As for the engine stalling, I haven't had any problems like that - smoothest Stang I've ever owned!

The pony door sill's aren't FULL aluminum right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it is black plastic with an aluminum plate in the center?


For 07, the floor mats aren't spoken for under the pony package or IUP. They need to be specified on the sticker as yours does Timeyer. The IUP is also only satin aluminum and leather wrapped steering wheel and shift **** right? Seems like your dealer is trying to play you How many miles when you bought the car?

The odometer had 15 miles when I test drove the car.

The door sills are 100% plastic. Are there three different doorsills-plastic, half aluminum, and full? I know that the interior upgrade package that I DON'T have includes aluminum sills. My interior package adds aluminum pedals, shift ****, and the same steering wheel pictured above.

What I can't believe is the attitude the salesman gave me when I told him they had installed the wrong mats. It was clear he didn't believe me. They ordered new ones (even though they should just be able to find the right ones), and swap them the next time I'm in town. He had the ***** to tell me to keep the incorrect ones in new condition between now and then. They're already in the trunk as I have all-weather jobs already installed. Still...

I can understand, I put the screws to them price wise. I was going to leavein myold car when they freaked out. At that point we were $2k apart. They kept coming down in $500 and $250 increments, asking me to meet them halfway. I said no, until they'd sell me the car. They seemed surprised that I was sticking to my guns. I was surprised they sold it to me at my lowball price.

The service has to be better however...

You can't get the pony package with the deluxe model. Thus, I'm pretty sure it is a premium.

The sills are my only question now. Does anyone have a pony package, or plain premium v6 with black plastic sills? I've got the floormat situation figured out, and as far as the stalling is concerned, I'm hoping it was an abberation.

Regards,
Tim

It started right up, and is thankfully running well. I won't let it happen more than a few times without making a trip to the dealer!
