Thanks CC ! Again... sorry for the long winded story, but this is just an exciting car to drive. Still grinning ear to ear every time I get in.
 
For me going with the '07 just made sense. I plan on keeping this car for a long time. Like I mentioned, I had a '97 Contour for 9 years. Also, it was equiped exactly how I wanted in a brand new color for '07...Alloy Metallic.. which is smokin'.
 
Not sure how you want yours equiped. Here in Tampa Bay, there are still many leftovers; lots of '06 GT Deluxes with cloth interior and no IUP.
 
Good luck in your buying experience! Let me know how you make out. Regardless... you'll love the car. Just be sure to get a 5 speed. It's the only way to truly experience this automobile.

CC....Here's a photo of an '07 Alloy Grey which looks just like mine with the same wheels. I think you'll like the color.

As it turns out, Ford is (at least in this region) supposedly offering a $1000 manufacturer to dealer incentive on '06 GT automatics - hence the larger discounts in this market.
 
Unfortunately, I would prefer a stick so that significantly narrows the price gap between an '06 and an '07. Given that the '07 offers some features I'd like to have such as heated seats, I may just wait awhile until the lots fill with '07s.
 
Yup, yours is certainly sharp - those 18" polished wheels are stunning.

the 'ford store' where we got the escape serviced has a 'gt' in 'grabber orange' on a pedestal out front. imo, it really needs some black stripes to tone it down. it looks like something a kid would color with a crayola.

bama12,
 
Congratulations! As a recent buyer myself (see recent posts), I know how excited you feel. Here in the Tampa Bay area you could have gotten for maybe $500 below invoice for an '06 leftover, but it all depends on the local market. Seems to me you did good!
 
At any rate, don't even stop to think you could have maybe gotten a better deal. You're happy right? Don't you just love going through those gears?
 
She is a beauty! I've got the same wheels and get compliments on them all the time. Just be careful... especially with that color. They always say the cops love to get the red ones, and it's hard not to let these ponies gallop every once in a while.
 
Keep us posted on the other forum as to how this baby works out for you and if you plan on making any modifications. The only thing I'm planning to do is add Flowmasters this coming weekend, and maybe a cold air induction at some point down the road.
 
Good luck!

jschmiidt- Thanks for the kind words. Yours is awesome as well. It's really hard to go wrong with a color for this car. And I do love the wheels. It's been a blast so far. I plan to add cold air induction, and I'd like to lower it a little as well. Let the mods begin!

I guess that explains why my wife fell in love with the one at our local dealer. She teaches 3-4 year old special needs kids. You really think the tape stripe would tone it down? I'm drawing the line on the hood scoop though. Wish I could talk her into the alloy gray, that is slick.
