I have only driven this car a handful of times a month since 2010, mainly to keep everything lubed up and working well, but otherwise it's just been sitting in the garage.


Details:
2008 Ford Mustang GT Premium in Alloy Clearcoat Metallic - FIRST/ONLY OWNER
Shaker500, heated, power seats, basically every option/upgrade except for Nav and leather cover on dashboard. Manual transmission.
This is the PREMIUM GT version.  This comes with leather inserts and other upgrades that the DELUXE version does not come with.  The DELUXE version has much more exposed plastic areas in the interior, while this one has more leather.

CONDITION:
In great condition. Completely factory stock.  I'm the first and only owner, I ordered it custom from the factory and took care of it. I performed oil changes regularly, every 3000 miles.
Also performed an oil change at 750 miles and at 1500 miles (to clean out any break-in byproducts). Now perform oil change with Mobil 1 full synthetic 3000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes sooner.  I still have almost all of the receipts.
Nitto Invo tires on stock rims with lots of tread left.

BREAK-IN PROCEDURE:
Much care was taken to perform proper break-in during the first 1500 miles. Never put under excess load, but enough occasional load to properly seat piston rings, etc.  The way the car is broken in during the first 1500 miles will determine how well the engine runs when it's much older.  If you buy a car that wasn't broken in properly, when you get to 100k-200k, expect it to consume oil as the piston rings wear prematurely.  I made sure to break this in perfectly.

FACTORY UPGRADED OPTIONS:
Leather, dual power and dual heated seats, Shaker 500 with door subs
Premium trim
455 3.55 Ratio Axle $300
64D 17 inch Premium Painted Cast Aluminum Wheels $195
95M Ambient Lighting $295
51H HID Headlamps $525

Ford UK exec says EVs are a good way to lose a fortune

Wed, Mar 19 2014

Stateside, Ford execs are quick to point out the automaker's expansion in the plug-in sector. And despite a minimal presence in the pure EV space, the Blue Oval has been promoting its plug-in vehicles as part of an overall effort to boost fleetwide fuel economy. Too bad the company's UK chief didn't get the memo. There's "no point in us getting behind [EVs] and losing a fortune" - Ford's Mark Ovenden Mark Ovenden, speaking rather frankly at the Geneva Motor Show recently, said he didn't have real high hopes for substantial electric-vehicle adoption and said the company's money was better spent on smaller gas- and diesel-powered engines, the UK's Daily Mail says. Ovenden said of EV development that there was "no point in us getting behind it and losing a fortune," adding that his goal was to have variants of Ford's EcoBoost engine in 40 percent of the company's vehicles. Ford has about a 15-percent market share in the UK. The UK doesn't appear to be as kind to the EV as the US. Nissan last year cut the price of its all-electric Leaf there last year by about $4,000, while the company rolled out a promotion for the Leaf late last year, including allowing Leaf drivers to borrow a gas- or diesel-powered Nissan for free for as long as two weeks a year during the first three years of Leaf ownership. In the US, Ford sold just 229 Ford Focus Electrics during the first two months of the year after moving 1,738 units in 2013.

Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).

Ford says utility vehicles are key to global growth

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

While most of us believe that small, fuel efficient cars are the key to global expansion for US automakers, Jim Farley, Ford's vice president of Global Marketing, thinks otherwise. Last week, we attended an exclusive sneak preview of the Ford Edge Concept in advance of the Los Angeles Auto Show, and Farley told us that it's actually utility vehicles that will help the Blue Oval gain market share overseas. "There is no other segment in our industry that is growing like utilities," he said. "We expect over the next five years this full family of [utility] vehicles to really drive our growth as a company."
And Farley has the numbers to back it up, too. Ford projects overall automotive sales to grow 23 percent from 2012 to 2017, but the company's utility vehicles are expected to boom by an impressive 41 percent during that same period. Much of that growth will be in China, where Ford estimates its utility sales will explode. "The biggest opportunity for us globally for utilities is in China," Farley said. "China utility growth is expected to more than double from where it is today to 2017, which isn't that far away." Most astounding is that Ford projects its own utility sales in China will eventually increase by more than 2,000 percent when smaller crossovers, such as the EcoSport and Kuga (sold as the Escape in North America), and the Edge and Explorer, are factored in.
Ford's VP also expects utilities to lead the way in the struggling European market. "With all the difficulties of the European market, there is one segment that has actually expanded in volume over the last several years even though the market is way down, and that's utilities," Farley told us. Ford estimates that their utility sales will grow 65 percent in Europe from 2012-2017. "The utility segment is projected to grow we think about thirty percent between now and 2017 in Europe, and we think we are going to grow twice that rate as a brand," Farley continued.
