The car you're looking at is a 2012 Ford Mustang GT Premium Coupe.  In fact, this is now a Roush Stage 2 Mustang that features enhancements to the exterior styling as well as the handling package via a host of carefully-selected Roush upgrades. The car is fully-loaded with more than $10,000 in Roush goodies and also comes with an Escort protection package, including a custom-installed Passport 9500ci radar and laser defense system, and more. THE TOTAL STICKER PRICE WITH ALL EXTRAS IS OVER $52,000!  Reserve price is WAY below the original price.

So, in addition to the Passport 9500ci radar and laser defense system with integrated display, Escort has outfitted the 'Stang with its QuickStart remote start and security system, which allows you to start, track and secure the vehicle from a smartphone, iPhone control interface and/or security key fob. The vehicle is also equipped with Escort's SEMA Award-winning SmartCord Live technology that uses the Escort Live network and version 2.0 app, which works with iOS and Android smartphones and provides many of the features in the radar detector connected version, including red light and speed camera alerts, speed trap locations, live traffic (iPhone), voice alerts and more.

And, it's a good thing the car is equipped with said devices because, although stage two is considered middle ground by Roush standards, the Mustang GT's 5.0 V8 already makes 412 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque and accelerates from zero-to-60 mph in about 4.5 seconds.

Styling upgrades include Roush's sixth-generation R6 “aerobody package,” which, in the front, consists of a new upper grille, high-flow lower grille, corner fascia aero pockets with driving lamps and a front chin splitter. The Roush rocker panels and rear fascia side splitters give the car a more aggressive, lowered stance punctuated in the rear with a three-piece rear decklid spoiler. Also in the back is a new rear aero valance that features race-inspired diffusers and integrates Roush's new dual-chambered chrome exhaust tips. Rounding out the exterior is a suite of Roush “R” and “Stage 2” badges. Inside, embroidered floor mats, a center console button and dash medallion help identify this as a special vehicle; Jack Roush's signature graphic can be seen on the dash and under the hood on a serialized Stage 2 plaque.

Roush chassis engineers have spent thousands of hours developing and testing to create a performance handling package that includes a larger, stiffer front stabilizer bar, twin-tube shocks with unique valving and increased spring rates. Furthermore, new bushings and a unique upper control arm translate to better contact and grip for the 18x10-inch cast aluminum five-spoke wheels with sticky Cooper RS3 ultra high-performance summer rubber.

“For more than three decades, the Escort and Beltronics brands have always signaled the very best driving technology available for radar and laser ticket protection,” said John Larson, Escort president and CEO. “We have established a history of going the extra mile to do more for our customers than anyone else – now we are putting someone in their very own 2012 Escort-equipped Roush Mustang.”

This car was the featured car at the Escort booth at SEMA for 2011 and 2012.  There are tons of pictures and videos of the car widely available documenting it's history on both Google and YouTube.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.
