Anyone driven a Laguna Seca Boss mustang

So I'm finding used low mileage Laguna Seca models for sale around 46k or so. I'm tempted to go drive one. Anyone here drive one yet? Any impressions? The 13

Default Anyone driven a Laguna Seca Boss mustang

So I'm finding used low mileage Laguna Seca models for sale around 46k or so. I'm tempted to go drive one. Anyone here drive one yet? Any impressions? The 13 models are still way too much as dealers jack them up 15 or 20 grand. Msrp is supposed to be 49k. I'm betting that it's a hardcore track car that people buy them find that out they cant live with it and dump them at the dealers for the family sedan. No backseat and stiff suspension means its just a big two seater.

I dont remember which video it was (I htink motortrend or some other video) thye did a drag and the Laguna didn't fair too well. Similarilty in that it is a two seater like the Z. But the Z still looks 10X better imo. although the black and red combo on the laguna, well that speaks for itself.

^ Laguna Seca isn't a drag strip, and he asked if anyone drove one. He already knows how it looks.

If you can afford it, go for it, you won't find a better balanced car with that kind of power and potential for the money unless you're willing to go back to an older generation of car.

I saw the 13's yesterday while dropping a friend off to get his very boring Town Car serviced at the Ford dealership in Falls Church Virginia. The 13's with the HID lights and new front end looks really great in all black, but the dealers are marking them up quite a bit. Its supposed to be 49K....I've seen them listed for 60K.

I was just there on Monday night. They had a few of them. Doubt you'd pay sticker.

There's a booger green standard Boss at Al Packer Ford in Baltimore. The window sticker has a 20k markup. Look online, the "Internet Price" is right at MSRP. I'm sure you could talk them down on that, because it's been there for several months.

Now, that's a booger green standard boss, but I'm thinking the same for Laguna Bosses that aren't moving.

You can get the standard Boss for MSRP if you look around to dealers out in the hinterlands. Except for Booger Green....for some reason they are still marked up. I like the School Bus yellow color. The Booger Green (I like saying that) must be very limited production. A Laguna Seca Booger Green Boss would be very bad *** looking....I have yet to see one of those.

They don't make the Laguna version in Green. I think it's only Black and Yellow.

I bet IF you paid Ford enough money, they would make one for you. Audi for example will make any color you want, as long as its on their Audi or Porsche palette. Its costs an extra 4 K I think and it takes a while to get it done....but they will do it. I saw an S5 in Porsche lime green...

BTW, from Koons own website....

2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 - $50,465
Dealer: Koons of Falls Church Ford

I called them out on it too....I'll go see them Friday. Two were listed at MSRP, one was 65K....same cars...then I was told it was the price for all three of them (65K).....which is Bait and Switch....and illegal to post a price in a paper or public advertisement, and then tell you that's not it when you show up....no, no, no....so he made me a different offer...

I tried to buy a Boss 302 before I bought my 370Z. Even with my coworker knowing the owner of the dealership, the best they would do for me on the price was MSRP. He said this was a good deal because they were selling them for $5K over sticker.

I laughed and then went and bought my Nismo.
