Must have options
Hello everyone!
I'm really looking to get an F-Type soon and am torn between a few options.
Ideally I'd love a Black, White, or Red F-Type and want these options.
1. Meridian sound (I listen to music often and love great sound)
2. Flat bottom steering wheel (love the look honestly and always wanted one)
3. Active Sound Button (ITS AN F-TYPE!!!)
4. Sport Seats (I just love the look honestly and would love the support)
Since I'm in the low 40k budget I am starting to think some of these options won't be in one package...I'm thinking the steering wheel and seats are the ones that can go...but the regular seats don't look anywhere near as great.
Any advice on options that aren't all that important? I know these are subjective but I'd be curious if the sport seats aren't worth it or if the flat bottom uses different leather or something.
Thank you

Sorry about my lack of information.
I am located in Los Angeles.
I mean the base seats vs performance seats (I prefer the performance the look is spot on!)
I would prefer RWD and an Auto (not really AWD) and I'm open to the engine option as long as I can get it in my price range.

Help us out...in what country are you located? That determines the available options and packages. Also, do you really mean the standard "Sport Seats", or do you really prefer the optional upgrade "Performance Seats". Also, V8, V6, AWD, RWD, AT, MT, Vert., Coupe? Those specs also determine what's standard and what's optional. V8s or any AWD may not yet be available at $40k, but the '14 V8S is getting close ($45k).

You need good credit, someone I know leased an Ftype with a 703 credit score which is good, no great, but good.
You could lease a brand new base ftype (financing through USBANK) with manual trans, which has the active exhaust included, meridian 770w system, + climate package, for $400 a month with 2k down.
Again it would be a lease so you are limited to 30k miles during the 36 month lease term (although you could opt for more, it would just make your payment go up by a little bit). When the 36 months are over you can give the car back or exercise your option to buy.
OR you can buy the used car, without really knowing how many times the motor was pushed to redline in the first 2000 miles, and if the owner would let it warm up before pushing it, etc...
Some things to think about.

"Must have" adaptive suspension. If it doesnt, then it has one suspension setting which is ****-numbing and spine shattering. If it has adaptive, the standard setting is pretty comfortable once the seats soften up, then in "dynamic" mode it firms up and is quite jiggly over rough surfaces. Also must have the active exhaust, IMO.

The must-have option is keeping your money. So be willing to take the car off the lot as-is, as this is how you get the best deals.
I also recommend blind spot monitor, these cars have poor side visibility. If you into track, makes sure to get LSD as it makes a lot of difference in how the car handles.
