Surprise GTPE Acquisition!

Welp, I'm the surprised proud owner of a 2021 Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition in Cyber Orange Metallic Tri-Coat.

 

Drove past my local Ford dealer this morning on the way to work, noticed the GT in the lot.  Got to work, pulled up the dealer site, check the window sticker - lo and behold, it's a GTPE!  Price listed as "Please Call," naturally.  I text my service guy (we have 4 Fords, so we're on a first-name basis) and jokingly ask what the markup is, estimating $10K.  To my surprise, he writes back, "$10K, but for you...sticker."  He's said this before every time I drool over a limited-edition car - GT350, GT500, Mach 1, etc.  So I laugh it off.  Decide to stop by after work, and he wasn't bluffing!  I've never bought a vehicle from them, but with the amount of service I've done there over the past 15 years, I guess that earned me some small benefit.  Did a deal at MSRP and a decent trade-in on our 2020 Escape Hybrid - not quite what CarMax was offering, but the trade-in savings on sales tax more than made up the difference.

 

I've been tempted to order a Mach-E on and off since announced, and when I obsessively build-and-price my dream car, it matched this vehicle exactly: GTPE, Cyber Orange, Co-Pilot360 Active + Glass Roof, Interior Protection Package.  It was fate!

 

I've already ordered the Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 4 tires (commuting to work in 30-something-degree weather the next few days will be...interesting), and need to call an electrician to wire up a 240V plug in the garage, because 3 miles of charge per hour is not gonna get me to work and back!

Farewell to my beloved Escape Hybrid - after 2 years and 27K miles, she served me well and will be missed.
