The V6 Performance Package is nice to get if you are concerned with performance as you get better brakes, bigger sway bars, 3.31 LTD Slip Axle, and 19" wheels with performance tires.

If appearance is more your thing the Mustang Club Of America Package gives you unique wheels, a rear spoiler, and a billet style grille.

Welcome to CMOC. As ChadStang said the Mustang Club Of America Package gives you unique wheels. I have a set of 2014 on my Mustang, They were take offs that I picked up for a great price.

Gears can most certainly be changed later. If you choose to do that you may want to look at getting more aggressive like a 3.73 or 4.10.

Welcome to CMOC. If your adding gears later I don't know if I'd be going with 3:31. I guess it depends on what your plans are.

Congrats

If it's got bald tires and the lot has the word fast freddy's or no credit needed stay clear lol .
All joking aside if its low KM with good service record also some tell tales try lifting up on door to check door hinges seems funny but you can tell alot about how it was driven and taken care of by checking little things like that .
also check the right side of passenger seat to see if foam is crushed or saggy means it been punched to the mat alot . Don't get the V6 thing wrong young guys buy em and with 305 HP drive the living crap outta them lol seen it alot

A Carproof inspection is also a really good idea. If it's a dealer you are shopping with, insist on seeing the report. If it's a private sale, get the vin and check it yourself. $40 well spent.
