FT: feeler 2006 mustang gt convt many mods extende warranty

2006 black on black mustang gt convert car has 26,000 miles on it and is warrantied to 60k i believe or 3 and 1/2 more years. The car has a 67 ram air hood on it with a functional hood scoop. SCT xcal II tune to 93 octane(gets 23 mpg) C&L racer cold air intake, 3.73 gears, steeda short throw shifter, slp axel backs, pioneer avic d3(navigation/dvd//mp3) 8" jl subs installed in the door where factory subs went, jl speakers all around, brand new 18" black bullet wheels with brand new tires. The car has been tracked twice and its best run was almost mid 12's. The car was dyno tuned by realspeedautomotive.com to be sure it is running the correct a/f ratio. The car is mint but I have a 55 mile commute in each direction and need a little better mpg. I am looking for a coooper with 40k or less miles preferrably still under warranty. Please pm me or email me at mikejohnson217@hotmail.com for pics or questions. Still have original parts and receipts from all work done on car. I am in the long island NY area but willing to drive to meet up.

Sounds like a nice car Mike are you not having any luck selling it on the Mustang forums and have you tried your local Mini dealer to see what they could do for you? I might be wrong here but you may be waiting a while for someone to make you an offer here on your gas guzzling Mustang.
Just may thoughts and I am sure we would all like to see you in a Mini.

Good Luck
John

I don't want to sell it, im just looking for a trade. I am very fickle before this I had a 350z for 2 years. The mustang I have actually had for 2 years and 3 months. As far as gas guzzling goes after my car was retuned I get 23 mpg which isn't bad for a car with greater than 300hp to the wheels. Thank you for your support.

That's not bad at all for a V8. If I owned it Id average 14-16mpg. I drive all my cars hard. Good Luck with the sale though. Perfect time to sell a convertible.

The new JCW model (R56) or the JCW (R53) ? The old model has:
1.) Cold Air Intake
2.) High Flow Cylinder head
3.) 380cc injectors
4.) larger throttle body
5.) larger inter cooler
6.) Exhaust System
7.) ECU Re-map
8.) JCW badges with Serial #
9.) depending if its factory installed or dealer installed it make have the JCW Big brake Kit.

I'm not too sure of the new jcw model though.
