Is the 2024 S650 worth it to buy or trade in your S550 for?

[@jamescampbell1743]

I made a post on Facebook saying that I liked the look of the new Mustang. But after watching several videos on KZbin I completely changed my mind. And I’m sticking with getting a used S550

[@triggersociety12]

I'm keeping mine as well

[@JBWHITEGT]

Agreed! The screens should be molded into the dash. It looks janky and cheap like a Toyota Corolla or Honda civic with those tablet style screens.

For someone who is new to mustangs… love the look and feel of new S650. Older car had a more aggressive front end. Test drive GT with performance exhaust and absolutely love the experience

[@phillipwest1854]

You would definitely love the S550. It's when you could still tell the difference between mustang and camaro.

[@ibakedit5850]

The S550 dash is nicer, it has STYLE! The S650's tablets that aren't integrated look pitiful....no design element. The car is evolutionary, it looks very nice but not different enough to buy IMHO. If you have an S550, owe nothing on it, I would keep it. I am keeping my 2018 and saving my $$$.

[@triggersociety12]

Good points

[@L42776]

Honestly the base s650 looks really good and price is not too bad considering current used market for s550s

[@triggersociety12]

It's about 5k more then the s550 base and un tunable and honestly feel the interior is a bit bland imo

I'm with you. I said the same thing. I have an S550 Chassis. it's not enough changes to upgrade to the so called new s650. It's literally the same car with a face lift.

[@triggersociety12]

It is for sure

[@vmblack68]

A month ago I traded in my 2019 GT Premium convertible for the 2024 GT Premium, performance pkg, and with the Nite Pony pkg. Went from Velocity blue to Shadow black, and wow love the new ride. Glad I pulled the trigger on this one. Quite the learning curve with the new screens, but over all I find her a much better ride. 🖤🐎😎

[@triggersociety12]

I canceled my order and kept my 22 premium

[@NissanTy]

I have the same opinion as you, the only thing i think is actually cool is the technology you get with the iPad screens. I own a 2021 300a (base of the base models) and I have the 4 inch calculator in mine and other than the screens I like my 2021 better. Also I was told, never did research on it, but non PP cars with the regular brakes are actually the 4 piston Brembos from the 11-14 (s197) Track Package cars, they just never got the Brembo name painted on the calipers. IMO if anyone has an 18-23, just keep it and enjoy the fact that you can modify the car as you please

[@triggersociety12]

Ya my 22 premium actually breaks better them my 2012 gt500

[@bravosix347]

That’s the thing now. I’m not a follower of yours as I just was scrolling through and you came across my browsing, but I certainly agree. The amenities are nice because technologically speaking it’s becoming a standard across all platforms to have some level of what the S650 offers even at a base model. Comparing base to base I will say it’s the best option Ford has produced compared to that embarrassing little screen for the last 10 years in multiple vehicles they’ve made. The prices aren’t drastically different starting, however this is the battle I keep taking. I have a beautiful SN95 right now, but I want to find a 5.0 with everything the car has to offer and in a PP1 at least as well. I can find an S550 just like that only a few years old with low mileage for less then what a new base model comes with. I think it all comes to personal preference but I truly think the S550 is still a very favorable platform. They’re also very mod friendly also.

[@glock22357]

Understand; this man, the company he works for, and this KZbin channel, are financially invested in people buying the next Mustang. So there is absolutely NOTHING objective in this video. It's marketing, and nothing more. Anyways.....the S650 is pure garbage. 18-23 cars are lighter, faster, and just as nice. Without those absolutely ridiculous, stuck-on I-pads for a dashboard. And it's NOT a new car, it's just a re-style. Ford labeling it with a new chassis designation is pure marketing bullshit.

[@triggersociety12]

I gave my opinion good or bad...ppl look for honest opinions when looking for a new car.. I gave my thoughts

[@davedave2882]

Couple of weeks ago I took delivery of my 2024 GT premium performance package, 6 speed manual, with leather Recaros, it's white with the night pony package,an paint black roof an rear wing, got a little over a hundred miles on it now, I really like the screens integrated into the dash. The only downfall I see is if you have to replace anything in the screen. You would have to replace the complete screen which is going to be very costly versus if you had the two pads where you could just replace one.

[@kennethsaunders7108]

[@dmacthetruth22]

I don't blame you on that either. Me having a premium and mine new was around 44 or 46k. I'm not spending that on a base model losing everything i have now.

[@triggersociety12]

Facts!

[@davidtennien39]

The added power is offset by the added weight. We are seeing no real performance increase. There is over a 20% price increase from over the 2020 models. A base 300a car with Performance Package in 2020 MSRPd at $40k, that same car today is almost $48K. Another issue the Base 300a had power seats for both driver and passenger.

My 21 S550 is the base 301A Nite Pony and I am not that impressed with the S650. I agree with you that it is a refreshed S550. I would have to wait a couple of years before getting one just because it is a "new platform" so it will have bugs, not being able to tune and no aftermarket parts for it. I don't need all the extra features. It just means more to break down the road. As always keep up the great content.

[@peterg6638]

There is allot of questions here. If the number payment is right, you do get a more powerful 5.0 motor stock and fords new car warrenty. For the amount of money to upgrade the S550 you could save that money and buy a brand new 2024 mustang.

[@SniperJoker915]

So the GT base or premium is basically an update, not an upgrade. Unless you wait for the higher(and more expensive) performance variants.

[@twellh]

I picked up my premium GT(white w/nite package) a couple days ago and it's definitely worth it. The Base will not do it for ya but the leather and continuous screen changes the whole look and feel. I saw a Base Ecoboost and the 2 screens are hideous!

I love analog gauges i cant stand how everything has digital screens now id rather have analog that is one reason i prefer older mustangs. The whole fox style gauge is cool at first but its a stupid gimmick that people will forget about within a week because nobody wants to roll w that ugly green color lol. We had to back then now we got options. Ford tries to sell it with gimmicks and tech (aka slapping screen(s) on the dash) that should tell you alot about the car itself if you gotta push gimmicks for it to sell. I seen one dyno 408 i know all dynos read diff but for "480 hp" im not impressed lol. The whole 2 intake thing is another gimmick. No way id get rid of an older tunable mustang for tbis turd lol. I cant beleive base mosels are 47k now i remember 10 years ago you could find base cars almost 20k less than that and the performance on them aint far off what these new ones are lol. That was when they had real bang for your buck. They keep giving us less and charging us more and people eat it up. This is why ford does this crap.

If you want to update your existing get a Tesla big screen for the infotainment they are sick as hell and does a lot ascetically for the Interrior.
