Don't own one yet

[Hockster]

Hello all. Seems to be a pretty great community here. I currently own a '17 Forte EX+, mostly cosmetics done to it. I'll be buying my Stinger next spring, I was set on Panthera Metal, but after seeing one in red yesterday my choice started wavering. Up here the dealers only seem to carry white, black or the pastel grey. I've still not seen one in blue in person. Looking forward to learning as much as I can about these cars, and can't wait to start modding it.

Hi, I was on the forum for 9 months before I got mine. Had my Micro Blue GT for two months now and love it. It's worth the wait.
Plenty of info here, welcome to the hive

Welcome! I have the Thunder Grey (Panthera Metal) and I love it.

Welcome, "Marvin"!

That's a long wait. I don't comprehend. My decision and buy were like a single throw of the dice, over a three day period (after, admittedly, being siren songed all winter by the Stinger promo book).

I've only seen a Blue at the dealership, and plenty of Reds there too: Red and Blue are the two colors I have not seen on the open road yet (in the Wild).

I am still on the lookout for one. The thing is I never buy new or used. Salvage to savage only for me. Looking for a good 2019 gt to rebuild. Why 2019? 3 letters L S D. I'm still hunting on copart, but I think I might have one in my hands sooner then I thought. My most desired colors are orange and yellow, both rare. Oh well...

Welcome aboard!...You should test drive one while you wait

 

[Hockster]

Long wait, kind of. I always knew my Forte was a temporary car for me. I had planned on getting on this year, but after having throw a pile of money at my house, and the weather here this year being absolutely atrocious, I'm okay with waiting on a 2020.

I have taken a couple for test drives, have a good relationship with my dealer and a couple o the sales people there.

I fell in lust for a Stinger about March of 2018. Thought about it until October and decided to do it. Started trying to work a deal with a dealer then. Just couldn't find a deal that was satisfactory. I found the car I wanted, but the dealer wasn't accommodating. In Feb 2019 I began talking to another dealer and we arrived at a deal that suited both of us and he got that car from the other dealer. It has been wonderful. Combined all the features of my '65 Mustang and my '66 Vette and more with today's technology. I am enjoying it more than any previous vehicle.

What color have you settled on? I think you're the only one to buy your modding stuff before you get your car?

Probably Thunder Grey with black interior.

Probably Thunder Grey with black interior.

Honestly I don't think you can go wrong with any color. I may be biased but man, when the red is all shined up it sure looks good.

I agree with that. All the colors are great. The important thing is to make sure the paint, whatever color, is solid-on (i.e. no chips and etc.).

Finally started negotiating the deal for my Stinger. I expected have one by now, but recent events have made a mess of everything. Sure is weird starting the process via text. I'm the meantime my stack of parts has grown.

Thunder Grey, black interior.

I got it! I got it! Super stoked, put 200KM on it already. And of course weather's turning to shit lol.

Clouds rolling in, car needs a good detailing. Dealer's letting me use their plate until Monday, stupid virus has the banks closed on weekends like it's the 70's again.
