Last month I bought a 2021 Velocity Blue S550 GT PP - 6-spd stick with Recaros from a Ford dealer in Des Moines and had the car transported to my house in Mass. 2400 original miles...basically the guy bought it new and barely drove it. I kinda wanted the 2024, but I'm just having a hard time warming up to the body style and thus far it's just not doing it for me. Am sticking with the S550, at least for the time being. Congrats on the new S650 buddy!
yea i got my 2017 with 1200 miles and used. Took off about seven thousand dollars. Be careful tho in some states lemon laws wont apply as its used. Also dont let them sell you a warranty if they tried. The manufacturer warranty stays with the car when it is originally sold.
Saw this near exact red car delivered to a local dealer Friday. Monday afternoon went to look at it sold but at least I could see it and talk to the buyer, a retired Ford engineer. We both recently sold our older models to upgrade. Only GT this dealer had. Off to another dealer for a test drive. Test drove a GT Premium, no Performance Pack, was totally impressed compared to my 2006 which I honestly had no complaints on. I started with wanting a hardtop manual, comprised with my wife on a convertible with auto transmission. Dealer swap may have one in a day or two with the Performance Pack.
Never heard of a car loan that works like a home loan. You should not be paying 2/3 interest a month. That is amortization and used for 30 year loans where you pay more interest than principal your first years.
The easy way to stay off of a car payment is to take out the loan completely with 20-30% down then completely pay it off on a equity line so that way you only pay the interest on what you pay on your mortgage which is definitely a lot less.
Wow this is surprising but totally understandable. The White was so clean & spiffy!!! The Race Red is obviously faster; so good move on your part. Glad that you transferred all the mods to the new car. I look forward to when you can install your ESS SC. This S650 drives significantly better than the S550. So keep up the mods!

Ordered mine in June 2023. Picked up late October 2023. Financing is 4.9. Which to me was still a little high. But all rates are high and that was decent
You need to make a video on explaining the numbers when it comes to factoring in interest, how to get the best interest rate possible, and how to get the best deal. I think your platform could really help your views save a ton of money when it comes to purchasing their next vehicle.
By the way. So glad to see you’re staying on the Mustang path. Finances aside, that’s your business and no one else’s to judge. Like you said, you do all this content on your own for little pay. Who is to criticize? Keep it up.
I was the very Un proud owner of a GT500 a few years back. Being that car was so absolutely poorly made and had constant noise and clunking issues, I dumped it and moved on over to Lexus. I’ve not had a single issue since….
I'm keeping my 2024 stock since they're so picky about warranties now. I actually enjoy driving my 2012 Brembo GT more and will do any mods to that one.
How could you sign a deal at 10 percent? You didn't read the deal before signing? That's on you man. Read what you sign. You are pissing away 2k and more interest down the road. I like your videos Zander but, wtf are you doing?
We bought ours Feb 14th. Recaro interior, performance package,nite pony package. Only things I would have liked extra were the active exhaust and power seats. It has everything else. It does have the 10 speed automatic but my wife can’t drive a stick. Wish there were some way to share a picture on this site. It’ll knock your eyes out. We traded in our 2019 magnetic metallic GT I bought her on our wedding anniversary that year with 5,230 miles on it. It was also a great looking car.
Rates are stupid I ordered a 24 a few months back when they first started arriving and when it came in rates were about 7-9% currently have a 21 5.0 ten speed at 0%… so I passed but definitely don’t regret it
Why would you have bought the car if it was 10%? I bought a GR corollla circuit edition in August with 833 credit and my rate was 6.5%, which is high but not 10%
You have 30 days to get out of any new car deal. The dealership had no choice, you just didn't know. Ive done this twice. Once in Tennessee and in Indiana
Got a 23 with roush supercharged in sept . For 75k lowering springs staggered American racing wheels new grill .got it for 1.9% ford credit had offers on 23 and jumped on it .instead of dark horse . Love this 1st MUSTANG got H PIPE AND done .
Lots of noise. Not impressed with noise. However, my wife's ex bought her a 2010 SHO "off the lot" from his buddy who was also PCS'ing and couldn't take it with him. She still has it and we're taking good care of it.
Good move, no car is worth giving away that much free money month after month Had a 4% & refinanced to 1% after a couple of.months when i purchased my 2020 gt. Incredible how much in interest i was paying when i was at 4%.... CANT IMAGINE at 10%
Yup I got 0 on mine too and went to dealership even with perfect credit they want 10% now on a new car, told them they were just insane, rates are just stupid crazy
It’s not heavier except for like 20 pounds more. This has already been disproven a ton of times. Definitely not slower either. Just ran down a modded s550 today and he had no chance. And mine is stock 😂
In the end, it would have been wise to just keep the S550. Unless you have deeper pockets, those 20-22's were going for basically nothing with interest rates.
i got my EcoBoost Premium 2024 in September 23. I paid off the car in total In February this year. Loan was for 7% interest.....it was bad...the reason I paid it off.
If you can't write a check for the car, then you can't afford the car. Paid cash for my '23 HPP/HP, paid cash for my '18 GT. I have zero interest in the S650 unless Ford goes back to the analog gauge dash, unlocks the ECU and lowers the prices.
Your perspective is an old fashioned one and while you could be right in some cases there are plenty of people who have afforded them on payments and paid them off before the term of the loan.
@@danielshepard7357 shame on me for saving up cash to buy cars, guess its silly I didn't pay interest on loans all while watching the asset in question depreciate simultaneously. Shame on me for spending less on insurance for my cars since I owned them outright. Shame on me for figuring out how to pay for a house so I could retire by age 54. Shame on me for being so "old fashioned" that I ended up being a responsible, hard working adult.
Needed this video cancelled my order was fully loaded trade in value was terrible and my interest from previous load too high so didn’t bring my loan down a lot, I still have my s550 gonna hold on for couple years trying it again with prob less options , is magna ride suspension that good to get or mod suspension comparable?
People don't realize how much just a couple of points in interest can add to what you pay for the car. I got 4.9% for 72 months from Ford Credit when I picked up my Mustang in December so I must have just caught the incentives. My car was ordered and delayed by the UAW strike so good thing. Good you got rid of the white car anyway - my least favorite color.
I think I need to make a video so I can education people on how to purchase vehicles. You never want to get financed through the dealer. You go to your credit union and get pre approved. You take that pre approval to the dealer you want to purchase from. You ask for an “options contract” and that gives you a week to get it financed through your credit union. Simple. You never get financed through dealer. Also, you dont even have to go to dealer to haggle. You call dealer and make your offer as low as you want. They can come to agreement via phone. I’ve come to an agreement most of the time through email or phone. I only haggled a couple cars in person. Bought all the following brand new. 2012 mustang 5.0: got it for 5k off MSRP 2014 Evo x GSR, got it for 5k off MSRP 2018 dodge Charger rt/scat pack: got it for 8k off MSRP 2019 ford raptor: custom ordered at MSRP 2019 mustang 5.0 pp1 10 speed: over 6k off MSRP 2021 jeep Trackhawk: only 4k markup when everyone in Cali was paying 20k markup. So still good. Also, never get warranty, gap, or any of the added bullshit. Look through your contract carefully and make them take added shit out. I help all my friends and family get cars. I get the lowest possible price and best deal. I go in and hold it down like a boss. I’m a narcissistic successful douchbag so no pos salesperson or finance manager is intimidating me. And I’m in Cali. We have the highest markups here. If I lived in another state, I would have even done better on all of the vehicles I mentioned.
Just picked up the Dark Horse yesterday in blue amber metallic w/ the Recaros and 10-speed. Sadly it did not have the handling package but it still rides like a dream.
For starters, if you have good credit, you should have gone with a local credit union. You said Kia dealership, so you bought the Mustang used. My credit union finances used cars at 4.9@75 months, which is better than the 5.9@72, which is what Ford has on new Mustangs right now. I Def wouldn't trade it because of the rate.
When I bought my 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT years ago, the dealer stuck me with a 7% interest rate. I had strong credit. I took the car and drove straight to my credit union and refinanced down to 3%. Saved over $100 a month.
you mentioned you will take the magneride suspension from your other car and put it in this one? afaik, this is almost impossible! not to mention the wiring requirements. If you manage to install a magneride suspension on a car that wasn't built with magneride, please post a video on how you did it, because i've heard from ford dealers that it can't be done...
He's not taking the MagneRide suspension off, he said it didn't have MagneRide just like his previous Mustang, so he's able to transfer the suspension parts to the new car. Really though it just comes down to the springs, shocks/struts as MagneRide requires a different type of spring rate.
That is why I BUY my cars. Complete price in cash. Financing is the number one reason people go bust. Yes that means you will drive shit boxes when you are young and just starting. So what.
Haven't had a car loan in 25 years and won't ever again...unless 0%. I pay 0 interest on everything. Otherwise...if I don't pay in full, in cash, I don't buy.
These days, manuals are slower than the autos and no one drives them anymore - dealers prefer trade ins with autos, because very few buy manuals these days. Also, do need to get better finance and payments. Should have could have, but anyway, good that you got this worked out with the new one.
The s550 is a better car. More performance stock, open cpu( wont fry if you try to tune it w/o ford license) No stupid tesla dash( analog control> touch screen) Lower cost. My 18GT pp1 out drag raced a dark horse, has 5 less hp on chassis dyno and cost almost half as much. Sorry to anyone who bought a Dark Horse! My guess is Ford detuned the mustang because Camaro and Challenger no longer exist.
Bruh…I would’ve walked out the dealership laughing if they offered me 10%. I’m glad you made the right decision to trade it for a better rate but next time, just wait. Doesn’t matter how well off you are. We work hard for our money and we should refuse to pay those kinds of rates/prices for something that only depreciates, especially if your credit history looks like mine. I’m not buying unless it’s under 2% AND negotiate the price of the car.
The cost to trade in a depreciated vehicle was really less than the higher cost of the interest rate you incurred with the white car? Most likely a monthly cash outflow decision vs an overall profit decision?
Zander, Im with you 100% I love my C8 and for the couple times a month i drive it i really enjoy it! But i got 6.8% interest on it and I pay around 400 bucks in interest each month to own the car.... So yeah ive been thinking about getting rid of the c8 and getting something else.
Just curious I know you said you only work with Ford finance because you have a good relationship with them but less than 24 hrs later they wouldn’t help ?
Man. Car is beautiful. Love the Race Red. I’m an Ox White guy myself but the Race Red, specifically on the 650,looks really good to my eyes… However, owning 3 550’s, 2 AE snd the last and current FIVE OH, a non AE, i gotta say, not having the AE affects the tone the car will have from Here on out. Had I known the 21’ I’m Driving now didn’t have the AE I never would have made the purchase. I assumed it did. Bought it sight unseen out of northern VA and I live in Mt Pleasant SC which is Charleston SC adjacent. 2021 GT premium PP1 with Mag Ride, B and O and Recaros. Car was absolutely loaded. In fact, the ONLY option not on my car was the AE. A $55k assumption which became my $55k mistake.. I put Magnaflow on it as my good bud has a 2022 GT with AE and he has the Magnaflow and inserts the deepest , old school muscle car sound you can buy today… hand down. I thought I would be Abel to fix the issues of not having AE through the aftermarket. I was wrong. My buddy’s car sounds richer, the tonality of his car is much more robust and full. Mine still has that tinny sound. Mustangs have always had great sounding exhaust going back to the Fox days. But this AE on these Mustangsbis so good… it makes the non AE cars fall flat in comparisons. Again, my bud and I have same exact exhaust set up. Only variation , his car has AE. Yiu can def make your car louder. There’s no doubt about that. But, the tone of an AE Stang is simply fuller, more rich and just tighter.. Perhaps the exhaust you select will have a diff outcome? Although I highly doubt it. Maybe yo don’t care as much as I do and then this is just a bunch of hot air Beautiful ride man, enjoy!
Surely you know that a dealer's financing is always costly. I would only do that to get a price discount, then have "real" financing ready to pay that off the next day. But I also don't buy new cars. Big waste of dough. You also lost at least $5k by trading this car, plus what a dealer will overcharge you for the worth of the trade. How can you possibly make that up in a couple of months? This is from a former compulsive trader (record is 4 cars in one year). Now, if you're doing this for emotional reasons, I have no quibble. We want what we want, and if we have the means, it shall be done! PS "Tax write-off" only gives you a saving equal to your tax rate, it doesn't make the entire write-off amount disappear.
Great find and glad you got a better deal/rate. I honestly hope this red car treats you better than the last one! Cant wait to see where you go with this one! 🍻🍻
LOL, just SMH! 😂😂😂 I hated that you gave up that good rate when buying the s650, but hopefully this will work out better for the wallet. Red is good as always! Keep it coming Alex!
How's the active exhaust on normal mode compared to the stock exhaust on the red one decibel wise?. Note both stock options not the corsa. Thanks very much
Great looking car! Great video! Very much looking forward to your video content with a "manual trans Stang". (Most Mustang vloggers buy the auto trans.) I have a red manual trans '22 Mustang GT with the active valve exhaust, and it is an absolute blast to drive!
I definitely like the red much better than the white. Don't really care for white mustangs. Your new car would look much better with the nite pony package but I understand you had to take what was available.
Hey Zander congratulations on the new car! I know you really like the Red because of your 2019! I also get the savings and I’m starting to realize you just enjoy putting on and taking off parts cause my guy you do it a tremendous amount! I get if some are about the new parts always going on their cars! I am a little older and don’t want to be in the garage as much so I keep my cars a bit longer! (Every TH-camr just went WHAT??? ) no way!! But I’m not a TH-cam person so I know this is the pressure of that platform! I’m actually a little surprised by this in I know you are a Drag Racer and you know the 10 speed is soooo much better for that! Zander what really connects us car guys is the power and handing of a car and its performance if we are honest! I raced Pro Stick for 6 years and the only reason I did was because it was the faster (mild) platform in the Fox body! But today’s Auto’s are so much better and shifting it manual is the same if you pull a paddle or a lever! I think you’ll miss the auto ( I know your 24 was manual) and in a few months you’ll be trading this car and going back to the 10 speed! Either way I enjoy your videos and as a fellow believer in Christ!! God Bless Sir!! Good luck with the new ride!!
When the 2018 GT was released Ford boasted about the 3.9 second 0 to 60. I have not seen ford put out any statement boasting the same or better with the 2024. If they have I have not seen it. With the release of the 2024 they really emphasized horsepower new aesthetics and technology. The aesthetics in my opinion have fallen short and the rest has yet to be proven. Best of luck to you, but you won't have any at all if you keep following the herd.
You can refinance. Be honest, you f'd up when you bought a S650 GT...because it's a S550 refresh. We told you! But you bought another? Wow. I will say this again, get a single cab F150 short bed 5.0 and boost it. Your channel will grow. The S650 is a S550, boring content.
So the new edge and sn95 were just re-skinned Fox bodies ???? They all had same chassis but yet different cars. Same is true for s650. In no way is it the same as s550…
@Kover_Boy 99% of people make decisions based on feelings, not facts. Zander13 just did that again. If you sincerly cared about him, you would get off your knees and tell the truth.

I love that race red Battle. I have a 2019 race red one. I don't blame you for trading, 10% interest is ridiculous 😮. Cant wait to see what all you have planned for this one. I miss the go face videos 😅
just got a s650 manual performance pack, manual, got about 8000kms on it. odd question in track mode do you find that the redline indicated on the dash doesn't match when the car hits the limiter. mine seams to limit at 7300 not 7500 as indicated. But in any other mode it appears to be proper.
There is a soft & hard limiter.. shift earlier.. you don't want to be hitting the limiter on coyote's.. your gonna hurt it.. that's how you break guides, tensioners, and worst of all oil pump gears & cam sprocket.. They rev so quick you should be shooting for 7000-7100 in a stick car as there is a bit of throttle hang/over run in the TB..
I always remove the dealer tag/stickers from the back of my cars because those little stickers are free advertising for the dealer. Unless you're getting paid to drive around with the dealership name on your car ,take it off...(do you know what a sticker that size would cost on a nascar racer?... approx $50,000 a season.)...
Who the fuck do you think you are, get over yourself

Keep it up.
🤘🙏🙏🙏
I was the very Un proud owner of a GT500 a few years back. Being that car was so absolutely poorly made and had constant noise and clunking issues, I dumped it and moved on over to Lexus. I’ve not had a single issue since….
I'm keeping my 2024 stock since they're so picky about warranties now. I actually enjoy driving my 2012 Brembo GT more and will do any mods to that one.
How could you sign a deal at 10 percent? You didn't read the deal before signing? That's on you man. Read what you sign. You are pissing away 2k and more interest down the road. I like your videos Zander but, wtf are you doing?
Like I said. I screwed up
@@Zander13Productions Better luck going forward.
We bought ours Feb 14th. Recaro interior, performance package,nite pony package.
Only things I would have liked extra were the active exhaust and power seats. It has everything else. It does have the 10 speed automatic but my wife can’t drive a stick.
Wish there were some way to share a picture on this site. It’ll knock your eyes out. We traded in our 2019 magnetic metallic GT I bought her on our wedding anniversary that year with 5,230 miles on it. It was also a great looking car.
What about that dealership in Ohio offering a 3.0 whipple for $6500 on top of 49k for gt you getting 810hp under 60k hellcats are dead
Rates are stupid I ordered a 24 a few months back when they first started arriving and when it came in rates were about 7-9% currently have a 21 5.0 ten speed at 0%… so I passed but definitely don’t regret it
Why would you have bought the car if it was 10%? I bought a GR corollla circuit edition in August with 833 credit and my rate was 6.5%, which is high but not 10%
You have 30 days to get out of any new car deal. The dealership had no choice, you just didn't know. Ive done this twice. Once in Tennessee and in Indiana
Got worried for a minute when I saw the video title. Glad you're still in an S650.
😉🤘
Got a 23 with roush supercharged in sept . For 75k lowering springs staggered American racing wheels new grill .got it for 1.9% ford credit had offers on 23 and jumped on it .instead of dark horse . Love this 1st MUSTANG got H PIPE AND done .
$75k?!?! 😮
75k for a non-Shelby? Yikes!😅
Lots of noise. Not impressed with noise. However, my wife's ex bought her a 2010 SHO "off the lot" from his buddy who was also PCS'ing and couldn't take it with him. She still has it and we're taking good care of it.
I never had that problem since I always pay in cash for any car or truck.
I bought my S650 back in November of 23. I got a 6.8 rate and I thought that was ridiculous . I see now it’s not as bad as 10!!
Good move, no car is worth giving away that much free money month after month
Had a 4% & refinanced to 1% after a couple of.months when i purchased my 2020 gt. Incredible how much in interest i was paying when i was at 4%.... CANT IMAGINE at 10%
Yup I got 0 on mine too and went to dealership even with perfect credit they want 10% now on a new car, told them they were just insane, rates are just stupid crazy
The S650 is heavier by over 140 lbs, slower too and copy bmw 2-3 series with the dash. Way over priced too.
It’s not heavier except for like 20 pounds more. This has already been disproven a ton of times. Definitely not slower either. Just ran down a modded s550 today and he had no chance. And mine is stock 😂
@@Zander13Productions These cars are fast.
In the end, it would have been wise to just keep the S550. Unless you have deeper pockets, those 20-22's were going for basically nothing with interest rates.
10% is insane with top tier credit.
it's a great car but i think for the money, there are better options. it pains me to say that as a mustang owner myself but facts are facts
Living with one after owning 5 s550’s it’s worth every penny in my honest opinion. But to each his own
This Carnage Lil Big Brother. Congratulations bro. Got a new mustang coming soon myself.
i got my EcoBoost Premium 2024 in September 23. I paid off the car in total In February this year. Loan was for 7% interest.....it was bad...the reason I paid it off.
What percentage of interest on the new one? And did ford price match online?
If you can't write a check for the car, then you can't afford the car. Paid cash for my '23 HPP/HP, paid cash for my '18 GT. I have zero interest in the S650 unless Ford goes back to the analog gauge dash, unlocks the ECU and lowers the prices.
Your perspective is an old fashioned one and while you could be right in some cases there are plenty of people who have afforded them on payments and paid them off before the term of the loan.
@@danielshepard7357 shame on me for saving up cash to buy cars, guess its silly I didn't pay interest on loans all while watching the asset in question depreciate simultaneously. Shame on me for spending less on insurance for my cars since I owned them outright. Shame on me for figuring out how to pay for a house so I could retire by age 54. Shame on me for being so "old fashioned" that I ended up being a responsible, hard working adult.
Who tried to shame you lil fella??
Good for you
How much do you make roughly annually? Congrats on the paid off cars
Needed this video cancelled my order was fully loaded trade in value was terrible and my interest from previous load too high so didn’t bring my loan down a lot, I still have my s550 gonna hold on for couple years trying it again with prob less options , is magna ride suspension that good to get or mod suspension comparable?
People don't realize how much just a couple of points in interest can add to what you pay for the car. I got 4.9% for 72 months from Ford Credit when I picked up my Mustang in December so I must have just caught the incentives. My car was ordered and delayed by the UAW strike so good thing. Good you got rid of the white car anyway - my least favorite color.
I almost hate to say it, but I just cannot get used to those wheels. Congrats on your new ride Z!
I think I need to make a video so I can education people on how to purchase vehicles.
You never want to get financed through the dealer. You go to your credit union and get pre approved. You take that pre approval to the dealer you want to purchase from. You ask for an “options contract” and that gives you a week to get it financed through your credit union. Simple. You never get financed through dealer.
Also, you dont even have to go to dealer to haggle. You call dealer and make your offer as low as you want. They can come to agreement via phone. I’ve come to an agreement most of the time through email or phone. I only haggled a couple cars in person.
Bought all the following brand new.
2012 mustang 5.0: got it for 5k off MSRP
2014 Evo x GSR, got it for 5k off MSRP
2018 dodge Charger rt/scat pack: got it for 8k off MSRP
2019 ford raptor: custom ordered at MSRP
2019 mustang 5.0 pp1 10 speed: over 6k off MSRP
2021 jeep Trackhawk: only 4k markup when everyone in Cali was paying 20k markup. So still good.
Also, never get warranty, gap, or any of the added bullshit. Look through your contract carefully and make them take added shit out.
I help all my friends and family get cars. I get the lowest possible price and best deal. I go in and hold it down like a boss. I’m a narcissistic successful douchbag so no pos salesperson or finance manager is intimidating me.
And I’m in Cali. We have the highest markups here. If I lived in another state, I would have even done better on all of the vehicles I mentioned.
Just picked up the Dark Horse yesterday in blue amber metallic w/ the Recaros and 10-speed. Sadly it did not have the handling package but it still rides like a dream.
Awesome car. Huge congrats
@@Zander13Productions Thanks!
Sorry for your loss
For starters, if you have good credit, you should have gone with a local credit union. You said Kia dealership, so you bought the Mustang used. My credit union finances used cars at 4.9@75 months, which is better than the 5.9@72, which is what Ford has on new Mustangs right now. I Def wouldn't trade it because of the rate.
Smart thinking man drive safe drive hard and enjoy
🙏🙏🙏
When I bought my 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT years ago, the dealer stuck me with a 7% interest rate. I had strong credit.
I took the car and drove straight to my credit union and refinanced down to 3%.
Saved over $100 a month.
you mentioned you will take the magneride suspension from your other car and put it in this one? afaik, this is almost impossible! not to mention the wiring requirements. If you manage to install a magneride suspension on a car that wasn't built with magneride, please post a video on how you did it, because i've heard from ford dealers that it can't be done...
He's not taking the MagneRide suspension off, he said it didn't have MagneRide just like his previous Mustang, so he's able to transfer the suspension parts to the new car. Really though it just comes down to the springs, shocks/struts as MagneRide requires a different type of spring rate.
That is why I BUY my cars. Complete price in cash. Financing is the number one reason people go bust. Yes that means you will drive shit boxes when you are young and just starting. So what.
Haven't had a car loan in 25 years and won't ever again...unless 0%. I pay 0 interest on everything. Otherwise...if I don't pay in full, in cash, I don't buy.
Amazing video, great advice, I love the license plate border! God bless ❤
These days, manuals are slower than the autos and no one drives them anymore - dealers prefer trade ins with autos, because very few buy manuals these days. Also, do need to get better finance and payments. Should have could have, but anyway, good that you got this worked out with the new one.
Autos are great...(in traffic jams and on Rental cars...😂)
Wont you lose even more cash by selling the car practically new, and then having to pay dealer fees for another one?
Got my Toyota at the same time and got 2.99%. No wonder they treat you so good since you were willing to pay out 10%!
I didn’t pay out 10% 🤷♂️
When Ford didn't want to work with you when you first bought the car,, Should have just said fine take it back. Going to buy a rice burner.
Yeah, that white GT sounded amazing. Congrats on your new S650!
🙏🙏🙏
Bought mine through Ford Credit and my rate was 4.5% in Oct 2023
The s550 is a better car. More performance stock, open cpu( wont fry if you try to tune it w/o ford license)
No stupid tesla dash( analog control> touch screen)
Lower cost.
My 18GT pp1 out drag raced a dark horse, has 5 less hp on chassis dyno and cost almost half as much. Sorry to anyone who bought a Dark Horse!
My guess is Ford detuned the mustang because Camaro and Challenger no longer exist.
Oh my 18gt.. 0% 36months. Its been paid off almost half the time Ive owned it.
Bruh…I would’ve walked out the dealership laughing if they offered me 10%. I’m glad you made the right decision to trade it for a better rate but next time, just wait. Doesn’t matter how well off you are. We work hard for our money and we should refuse to pay those kinds of rates/prices for something that only depreciates, especially if your credit history looks like mine. I’m not buying unless it’s under 2% AND negotiate the price of the car.
Still can't get over why Ford got rid of the standard quad-tip with the performance pack.
🤷♂️
The cost to trade in a depreciated vehicle was really less than the higher cost of the interest rate you incurred with the white car? Most likely a monthly cash outflow decision vs an overall profit decision?
You obviously make a lot more money than I do, good for you brother! That is a beautiful car!
He doesn’t pay cash. Not financially sound to do frequent trades. Paying cash is best to save money no interest at all.
Zander, Im with you 100% I love my C8 and for the couple times a month i drive it i really enjoy it! But i got 6.8% interest on it and I pay around 400 bucks in interest each month to own the car.... So yeah ive been thinking about getting rid of the c8 and getting something else.
🤘🙏🙏🙏
Crazy that you got 10% i bought my car in October 2023, I got 7% on a used 2020 mustang
Traded my boring auto 19 pp1 for a 22 Mach 1 manual last year with 5% interest rate loan on $30k. Im happy and keeping probably till I die.
🤘
Just curious I know you said you only work with Ford finance because you have a good relationship with them but less than 24 hrs later they wouldn’t help ?
Real good relationship, he's paying 11% financing rate with them.
@@SHADOWBLACKs650 💀
Man. Car is beautiful. Love the Race Red. I’m an Ox White guy myself but the Race Red, specifically on the 650,looks really good to my eyes…
However, owning 3 550’s, 2 AE snd the last and current FIVE OH, a non AE, i gotta say, not having the AE affects the tone the car will have from
Here on out. Had I known the 21’ I’m
Driving now didn’t have the AE I never would have made the purchase. I assumed it did. Bought it sight unseen out of northern VA and I live in Mt Pleasant SC which is Charleston SC adjacent. 2021 GT premium PP1 with Mag Ride, B and O and Recaros. Car was absolutely loaded. In fact, the ONLY option not on my car was the AE. A $55k assumption which became my $55k mistake..
I put Magnaflow on it as my good bud has a 2022 GT with AE and he has the Magnaflow and inserts the deepest , old school muscle car sound you can buy today… hand down. I thought I would be Abel to fix the issues of not having AE through the aftermarket.
I was wrong. My buddy’s car sounds richer, the tonality of his car is much more robust and full. Mine still has that tinny sound.
Mustangs have always had great sounding exhaust going back to the Fox days. But this AE on these Mustangsbis so good… it makes the non AE cars fall flat in comparisons. Again, my bud and I have same exact exhaust set up. Only variation , his car has AE.
Yiu can def make your car louder. There’s no doubt about that. But, the tone of an AE Stang is simply fuller, more rich and just tighter..
Perhaps the exhaust you select will have a diff outcome? Although I highly doubt it. Maybe yo don’t care as much as I do and then this is just a bunch of hot air
Beautiful ride man, enjoy!
Surely you know that a dealer's financing is always costly. I would only do that to get a price discount, then have "real" financing ready to pay that off the next day.
But I also don't buy new cars. Big waste of dough. You also lost at least $5k by trading this car, plus what a dealer will overcharge you for the worth of the trade. How can you possibly make that up in a couple of months? This is from a former compulsive trader (record is 4 cars in one year).
Now, if you're doing this for emotional reasons, I have no quibble. We want what we want, and if we have the means, it shall be done!
PS "Tax write-off" only gives you a saving equal to your tax rate, it doesn't make the entire write-off amount disappear.
Yeah, paying interest expense is a mother. Especially if you are talking paying interest on a depreciating asset like a car.
Great find and glad you got a better deal/rate. I honestly hope this red car treats you better than the last one! Cant wait to see where you go with this one! 🍻🍻
I hope so too!
Love the race red! Been thinking to upgrade mine too
🔥
Its honestly a shame how bad the rear look considering the rest of the car is perfect.
It’s much better in person
LOL, just SMH! 😂😂😂 I hated that you gave up that good rate when buying the s650, but hopefully this will work out better for the wallet. Red is good as always! Keep it coming Alex!
You and me both!
How's the active exhaust on normal mode compared to the stock exhaust on the red one decibel wise?. Note both stock options not the corsa. Thanks very much
Great looking car! Great video! Very much looking forward to your video content with a "manual trans Stang". (Most Mustang vloggers buy the auto trans.) I have a red manual trans '22 Mustang GT with the active valve exhaust, and it is an absolute blast to drive!
🙏🙏
I definitely like the red much better than the white. Don't really care for white mustangs. Your new car would look much better with the nite pony package but I understand you had to take what was available.
This makes no sense, you have "top tier" credit and yet you agreed to a 10% interest rate? You aren't telling the whole story dude....
Hey Zander congratulations on the new car! I know you really like the Red because of your 2019! I also get the savings and I’m starting to realize you just enjoy putting on and taking off parts cause my guy you do it a tremendous amount! I get if some are about the new parts always going on their cars! I am a little older and don’t want to be in the garage as much so I keep my cars a bit longer! (Every TH-camr just went WHAT??? ) no way!! But I’m not a TH-cam person so I know this is the pressure of that platform! I’m actually a little surprised by this in I know you are a Drag Racer and you know the 10 speed is soooo much better for that! Zander what really connects us car guys is the power and handing of a car and its performance if we are honest! I raced Pro Stick for 6 years and the only reason I did was because it was the faster (mild) platform in the Fox body! But today’s Auto’s are so much better and shifting it manual is the same if you pull a paddle or a lever! I think you’ll miss the auto ( I know your 24 was manual) and in a few months you’ll be trading this car and going back to the 10 speed! Either way I enjoy your videos and as a fellow believer in Christ!! God Bless Sir!! Good luck with the new ride!!
Yea he'll get tired of that manual real quick.n Those 10 speed autos are insane.
When the 2018 GT was released Ford boasted about the 3.9 second 0 to 60. I have not seen ford put out any statement boasting the same or better with the 2024. If they have I have not seen it. With the release of the 2024 they really emphasized horsepower new aesthetics and technology. The aesthetics in my opinion have fallen short and the rest has yet to be proven. Best of luck to you, but you won't have any at all if you keep following the herd.
You can refinance at a much lower rate unless you have bad credit.
You can refinance. Be honest, you f'd up when you bought a S650 GT...because it's a S550 refresh. We told you! But you bought another? Wow.
I will say this again, get a single cab F150 short bed 5.0 and boost it. Your channel will grow. The S650 is a S550, boring content.
So the new edge and sn95 were just re-skinned Fox bodies ???? They all had same chassis but yet different cars. Same is true for s650. In no way is it the same as s550…

Can't wait to see if you figure out how to make an active exhaust work on the non active car. I am in the same boat.
10%!!!! You must have HORRIBLE credit. I've never paid over 2.5%. Worst part is you got burned again on the trade in and tossed $2400 in the trash.
I feel like since it just came out the price is going to be stupid, but in a couple of years you could get a used one for a decent price and miles
I love that race red Battle. I have a 2019 race red one. I don't blame you for trading, 10% interest is ridiculous 😮. Cant wait to see what all you have planned for this one. I miss the go face videos 😅
🤘🙏🙏🙏
just got a s650 manual performance pack, manual, got about 8000kms on it. odd question in track mode do you find that the redline indicated on the dash doesn't match when the car hits the limiter. mine seams to limit at 7300 not 7500 as indicated. But in any other mode it appears to be proper.
Yes, that's my same experience with my Dark Horse Premium. Bought it brand new with 10 miles and have 1,000 on it now.
There is a soft & hard limiter.. shift earlier.. you don't want to be hitting the limiter on coyote's.. your gonna hurt it.. that's how you break guides, tensioners, and worst of all oil pump gears & cam sprocket.. They rev so quick you should be shooting for 7000-7100 in a stick car as there is a bit of throttle hang/over run in the TB..
