Plus, at $22k, I would rather have a Genesis Coupe!

Nah, not doing an old(er) car.

Believe it or not, I was actually at the Ford dealer. I wanted to check out used Raptors, but they didn't have any equipped the way I wanted.

Just my $.02, I had a better time tossing a Ford Focus ST around the corners than I did with the Mustang. That little sucker is very fun to drive. Very nimble and tossable compared to the brute of a 'Stang.

Waaaaay overpriced for what you get.

Would rather pick up a used Genesis Coupe for the same money.

My offer was accepted on the car...


Time to go over, and do a thorough inspection of the car. If all goes well....

He yanked the intake on his Maserati so it must be something Italian.

Quattroporte? Hopefully with the later transmission?

It went... Wellish.


An inspection revealed a few high dollar items that need to be addressed. Waiting to see if they will lower the price or take care of the items.

We have a winner.

I originally wanted a duo-select (SMG unit), as I track my 55, and a duo-select transmission would be awesome out on the track. Perfect changes up and down. The one in my 4200 is superb when your winding it out on a mountain road.

But this is a later QP with an automatic. The price was a little high, but its super clean. I brought it to the shop to get an inspection, and its going to need a few things done. Some critical items (cam variators) and some non critical items need to be addressed (some rubber components).

Figuring about $5-7k in work needs to be adressed, either by lowering the price, or taking care of the issues.

We will see, the dealer said they would have an answer as to what they are going to do for me by Tuesday, but might know today. Haven't heard anything, so its a waiting game now.

Perhaps this will hold you gentlemen over:
