    What did you pay for your ST

    I’ve heard similar from the dozen or so dealers I spoke with, one even in Texas. I‘d say based on my own research, an acceptable “selling price” with the 72mo 0% financing is around $53k. That’s off of a $59,620 - $59,740 MSRP, including tech package, ST street pack and moonroof, and all...

    Clicking/Clunking under driver side floor

    Yes, and it happens in every ST regardless of build date. When your tank is anywhere between 5/8 - 7/8 full, you’ll hear what sounds like a clunking, but it’s the gasoline sloshing around in the tank that’s causing the noise and feeling. I’m not sure why Ford doesn’t think to put additional...

    Soooooooo that was quick. Totaled...

    I looked all over the National capital region, and ended up getting it from Ted Britt Ford in Fairfax VA.

    What did you pay for your ST

    I paid $56,209 OTD yesterday with 72mo 0% and 3 months deferred, which didn’t make me eligible for the extra $2500 in rebates, otherwise I would’ve been OTD at $53,700. I‘m in VA, so my OTD price included sales tax of $2200 (4.2%), and they don’t cap dealer processing fees, so $799 for that...

    You don’t have auto sales tax in NH, right? Did you get the twin panel moonroof?

    Wireless CarPlay

    It certainly helps, but nothing is going to sound as clean as wired CarPlay.

    New owner Sport mode/ turbo very underwhelming

    What specifically about the tranny is your issue? I’m on my second ST, and finally found one that doesn’t lurch when coming to a stop in sport mode. Only two that I’ve test driven didn’t behave like this, the other being the one I mentioned above with the O2 issues. I have to admit though...

    New owner Sport mode/ turbo very underwhelming

    Interested in whether this changed for you. I’ve test driven probably 8 or 9 STs, and each one had it’s quirk. One in particular had some kind of issue with the air intake or manifold, it sounded loud, and the vehicle felt like it was lagging power. Another that I test drove the other day...

    Has anyone reached out to Ford for the 3-month differed payment?

    Just got 72mo 0% with 3 months deferred on my new one today. Beats my 84mo 3.5% I previously had.

    Well, picked up my new one today. Ended up going with Magnetic Grey, and absolutely love it. I agree with the black being difficult to keep clean, and in my opinion, since the grey is so dark, it’s kind of a happy medium.

    Lease information (how much /month and how much down)?

    How muc did you finance? What were the rest of the terms?

    Did you purchase a GAP insurance policy?

    I had it for $4/month through progressive, and just used it... worth it in my opinion!

    What did you pay for your ST

    Did that include any down payment? What rebates did you get for that? I tried like 10 dealers in the area and the lowest they dropped from 59,620 MSRP was 8-9k. That would’ve been about 54k OTD (taxes, tags, fees etc)

    What did you pay for your ST

    Where did you get your from? You mind sharing the window sticker and buyers order?

    Just heard back from the insurance company today, they’re definitely totaling it. So only a matter of days until we‘re back in business.
