hey everyone. I am new to this forum and my brother made this account for a couple of day sago because my parents will be getting me an 08 mustang saleen. The problem is that they absolutley WILL NOT get me it if i cannot get a light color interior. are there such things as tan interior saleens? You may be asking why does it matter and the answer is i dont know, they just dont like it and its their decision ultimatley. Can I ask the dealer to just switch seats if I cannot do that? Or is anyone willing to trade their BRAND NEW Saleen seats for some tan leather ones?(must be brand new of course). Sorry if i sound stupid or anything, but im kind of in a hole about the interior, and i just absolutley LOVE this care so i gotta get it. I would be the only person in my immediete family to own a domestic
Oh and I forgot to mention that I probably will not be getting the SC version simply because i want to turbo it instead. Also will be upgrading the Saleen supsension.

Saleen only makes the black seats. That has to be the oddest reason against a car though [&:]
Also, why a 2008? The 2007 model year closeout is just ramping up and there are deals to be had. I've already seen 0% financing, which came a month or two earlier than this same offer came last year.
If you are stuck about the color just order a GT, body kit, and the turbo and be done. With the mods you are going to need to do to the interior and the engine I don't see the point of buying a Saleen and paying the markup... (if you change seats you are going to have to change carpet, door panels, etc... you can't just swap tan seats into an all black interior and pull it off imo)

Thank you for your reply. I was thinking about getting an 07 because it would be much cheaper but my brother says I should get an 08 because if i get totalled, i would get more money for it. Is that correct? Hmmm, if i get the 07s, then more money for mods. I have a friend getting a GT this same month, maybe he will trade me his entire interior, just not the carpet. Ill just have floor mats covering it. Does anyone have a better idea? The reason I cant get a GT and slap on a kit is again because my parenst will absolutley not let me buy a new car and just slap on new bumpers. Gotta understand, im only 18

No offense, but this section is mostly made up of the mature, discerning enthusiast who would hate to hear about giving advice to an 18 year old who's 'parents are going to buy me a Saleen' only to find out they wrapped it around a telephone poll for acting their age behind the wheel of a fast car. You won't find many here that will say, "Awesome! Switch my interior! I'd love to help you get into one!"
It just doesn't give me a good feeling. I drove a crap car when I was that age and there was a reason for it.
If you must get something new, get a Mustang GT and slowly build it up. Send your parents in here and we'll talk them out of setting you up in a brand new Saleen.I don't want you to contribute to the reason the rates are so high on these cars.

Amy hits the nail on the head, and Chuck drives it home. This post makes me cringe for a number of reasons.
Sorry if you guys dont know me but I am not an ordinary teen. I own my own company which is buying this for me. My parents arent giving me a dime for this car. It is all being paid for by me and me alone. Sorry if i gave the impression my parenst were buying it. They have the ultimate decision on what i get even if im paying for it.My original post did mislead everyone to think my mom/pop is paying for it. [:@]
Thanks for all the input. i can see myself in ya'lls shoes and doing the same to youngin's. But believe me, i'm going far with the 'stang. My bro is my guide, i'm just a forum noob.
