Default Buying a 07 in a few days :)

Hey guys well I'm geting a 07 v6 mustang in a few days and I have a few questions about differnt options and add on's. I'm very interesed in black and it seems the only black models at my local dealershipdoesn't have ABS. I know ABS prevents skids and such during rain but I live in AZ and we get rain like 3 times a year so If you don't have abs have you had any problems? Do you guys think it's a big enough deal to either go to a differnt color or order one from ford ( with the model year end clear out and the 0% apr it seems smarter to just take a model they are trying to get rid of rather then pay alot more to order one) Also what are options that you either wish you had or are really glad you have thanks and glad to start moding the stang as soon as possiable, Zack

hey man, if you can't find a black with the options you want, try checking into alloy (of course i'm biased...i am picking up a new alloy in a couple weeks). it is a very dark metallic grey, and it can look black in certain lighting.

Allstate gives me a discount for having ABS. That's something to think about.

Have you used the database on www.fordvehicles.comto search other dealer's inventories?

If you hold out for an '08, you will have less of a chance getting one with the front suspension thunk or passenger side water leak.

are you guys talking about ABS or traction control? there is a difference. ABS is power brakes, so you dont have to pump them, they pump themselves to prevent locking up. Traction control helps prevent skids n stuff. just about every car has ABS these days. My car doesnt have TC, but it does have ABS, you can have ABS w/o TC.

07lane40, I don't think you have it right. ABS is Anti-lock Braking System. It is only available on the V-6 with Traction Control and has an '07 retail price of $775.
