Default Went to my old place of emplyment (FORD)

Went to my old dealership, a Ford/Mercury store and there I got one of the best compliments ever! I had just washed/rain Xed/ICE-ed the WS6. A sales rep (older guy) came up, complimented it, and then asked..."What year is that, an '07?"
No...01'
Wow...it was really well taken care of!
Thanks!

I think your missing the point of the post.

The salesman was commenting on how good the car looked, and blkws6 was taking that as a compliment. Not posting about how the salesman has a low IQ.

Thats the best compliment to get IMHO. I've had someone ask it it's an 06 and also ask if it's a 95 . Neither were car people so I didn't hold it against them. I had one salesman try to tell me that a new TA was coming out this year and it would be faster than a Z06

But I do enjoy when people think my car is almost brand new when its really 6 years old.

Sales rep knew F-bods werent made anymore, he just didn't know when they stopped he said. Guy used to be a wrestler, so he isnt into cars any more than he has to be to sell them. I just took it as a great compliment!

shouldnt a ford salesman at least know the mustangs main competiton is no longer being manufactured. i guess he doesnt even know the new camaro is coming out.

nevertheless, it was a good compliment.
