No, they will not send you anything. At that mileage, nobody will want the risk. If you had any intentions of driving that car outside of the mileage offered, then why didn't you say so, at the time of delivery?

I hope you like it. I'd love a V8 american car, but the V6 has some pep.

It's a zero down deal and I think I was lucky to get as much built into the loan as I did. Doubling the warranty cost for 25K more miles didn't seem possible and even if it was, a bad idea.

Excuse me as I blow by you in my V8 Hemi Charger.






Honestly, if it wasn't the Charger, I'd probably have gotten a Mustang myself.

Oh wait! V6? I want to change my vote to bad.

You're not making much sense.

Warranties are priced so that on average the underwriter makes out, i.e. the amount of warranty claims is less than the premiums paid. I rarely if ever buy an extended warranty for this reason. I want the opportunity to "make a profit", not the underwriter.

Warranties do transfer risk to the underwriter in exchange for the premium. So if you are living check-to-check, preventing a financial surprise is desirable. However, this is why the poor stay poor and the rich stay rich. If you have little financial flexibility and therefore need a warranty to "protect yourself" then you are wasting money because you are spending some of it to transfer risk to another party. Self-insuring OTOH will cost you less on average; you just need the spare cash on hand.

I don't see why I would drop the extended warranty.

75000 miles and 72 months of bumper to bumper?


Remember, all domestics fall apart constantly and only Toyotas can drive more than 500 miles without an engine under the hood...........ATOT taught me that.

Fixed

As far as the image, I doubt anyone is going to screen the car for a GT badge and in absence of it tell me I'm driving a piece of ******.

Well, except for ATOT.

Mazdaspeed 3.

Congrats on the car!
I seriously considered purchasing Mustang GT. It's great bang for buck for sure.
I would have paid little extra to get the GT and not gotten the warranty but that's me.

Post some pictures when you get a chance.

as long as you love the car who cares what everybody says... the only ford i'd consider buying are the fusion and the mustang...

the V6 is a nice practical coupe... congrats!

<--- going to check out a used 05' altima 2.5S for $10k today...

The 2 Litre, 4 Cylinder engine in the Golf GTI puts out just a shade under at just above 200...

And the 2 litre, 4 Cylinder in This (Vauxhall Astra VXR) gives 240!

But back on topic, its a nice car and whilst the V8 would be ideal the V6 is a nice engine! Shame we dont get those over here

Wow are you serious? Let me know first then I can laugh wholeheartedly.

Any pics OP? What color?

1. Good call on the warranty, Cars break too often not to have the warranty (assuming you will be owning the car for that mileage)

2. Congrats!

3. Pics!?

 

[compnovice]

The convertible option would have been better....

Nice car for the price. I like the look of newer Mustangs though their reliability is not too good.
