Hi Kevin, thanks for your post. Your girl is a cutie! Yep that was our thinking. Respectfully, it's easy for people who have a Mustang sitting in their garage to say 'wait' but when you've waited 3+ years at some point you have to pull the trigger and enjoy life. In reality no one knows when used prices are going to come down either.I agree that if you can get a new Ecoboost now for X Plan, and you were planning to get an Ecoboost for your wife anyway, it makes more sense to buy the new car now and hold off on the used Bullitt. Hopefully, the used market will settle sooner than later.
There sure are some uninformed opinions on here about child car seats. You can absolutely fit a forward facing car seat in the back of a Mustang and your young child will enjoy it back there for many years. Once they are about 5, they can climb back there and buckle themselves in (with an adult to tighten the belts.) This makes it much less of a pain to be in a two door car.
My wife is 5'7" and she can sit comfortably in front of my daughter. Even me, at 6'2", can sit in front of my daughter for an hour or two with minimal issues.
Good luck with your decision!
For those saying just get a GT, my wife doesn't want a GT. She wants an Ecoboost and then when I get mine, we have the best of both worlds. Buying the Ecoboost wouldn't massively effect deposit saving for a Bullitt either so it's a win/win.
Thanks for the info on the car seat! As I said it would be an occasional thing at the moment and only more permanent in 5yrs or so, at which point she will be old enough to get in and out by herself. Given my SUV isn't worth much I'm going to keep it (which I was going to do if I got the Bullitt anyway) and when when my wife graduates to the Ecoboost full time, I'll be keeping her Escape so we will always have a 'Family' car anyway.
