Jeesh.. i remember when I bought my '98 GT premium pretty loaded with leather and the MSRP was 22695.00. The new cars are light years ahead and I know its been 12-13 years but we're looking at close to double the money these days!

 

Hey bud, don't forget to add in the FDAF (advertising) and the gas on the invoice side. The price list doesn't add that part in. If you need a solid number I just sent you a PM.

 

Hey everyone, I'm leaving work now. I won't be near a computer for at least a day and dealerships are closed on Sundays in Pennsylvania. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to send me PMs. I'll answer them all on Monday morning when I'm back at work. Glad to help everyone out with the price list.

 

Thanks Jeff, PM replied to. Whenever you get a chance.

On another note, I already have a seller lined up and parts lined up for my old car. Apparently they're in high demand and parts are too!

 

Thanks Jeff!!!

Yup, elec pkg is a MUST for me too

 

Trust me save your money for other things. Even with the new GUI* in 2011 it's still going to look dated in a few years. At some point the aftermarket will have a new center stack that will allow for third party units with new features.

FYI the Mustang will not have the dual screen option.

 

I'm taking that into consideration as well. My plan with my 08 was to lease for 2 years, save more money, then buy it. Payment was too high to just buy it with a 5 year loan. I've been laid off since April, so when the lease is up in March, chances are i'm losing it. So i'll be looking into all the loan/lease options when I start working again.

 

Good luck in your job search. I was laid off at the end of November. Maryland is one of the better states but the job market still sucks. I have 12 years in IT and a Master's degree but no luck so far. I'm hoping things pick up now that the holidays are over.

 

Pretty hefty price increase.

 

ANY IDEA WHAT THE GEARS WILL BE FOR THE GT AUTO?

 

I understand the concept of more bang for your buck, but I personally feel that Ford is in danger of pricing the Mustang out of the target market's range. The everyman's muscle car is slowly going the way of the priveleged. Seeing these numbers makes my wallet happier to have purchased my '10. Invoice-holdback-rebates=

 

Agreed, getting close to $40k brings a lot of other cars into the equation.

 

I will give it year before there will be good deals including rebates.

 

It makes me sad seeing a Mustang GT is 400 dollars away from being a $30k car in "stripper" form

Can't argue the performance, but you can buy a BMW 128i 'Vert for 100 dollars less. The 135i is 35,000 base price, and you get a Twin Turbo straight 6 that is just as fast.

 

Thanks, but I still want to order it. Saves me the hassle of finding a quality aftermarket unit and interior trim kit.

Besides, the whole car will be dated in a few years, thats just how things are

 

Such as?? I can't think of a car with all the goodies and 400hp for anywhere close in price (besides the Camaro and Chally, naturally).

If you start bring up BMWs and the like, you should compare those to the V6 because the V6 should keep up with (might beat) the competitors you are probably thinking of for $7k less than the GT.

 

kind of scares me about the what the price of the GT500 is going to be...probably close to 58-60K?

 

And you still haven't seen what a 2011 Camaro or 2011 Challenger will cost yet....

 

Two excellent points.
I think Ford has done a good job of keeping up with the performance and options everyone demands, while keeping the costs reasonable.

Sure people can say I paid $xxxxx for a Mustang GT in 19XX. Yeah, you paid that much for a 225hp V8, not for 412hp w/ 6 speed tranny, SYNC, glass roof etc.

If anyone can name a better car for the same price then go ahead, I can't. Especially when you can get a 305hp V6 for $22K

 

There's little doubt that $35 - $40K is an awful lot of money to put down on something that basically does the same (ie, gets you from here to there) as a $15K car will do. But you're also getting a whole lot of car for the money and it is hard to find similar offerings without adding in another $10K.
It's just a question of how much do you want, why you want it, and can you afford it.
ME? ... I want a convertible I can fit in and still carry golf clubs in the trunk and there is no way in H#$$ that I will buy a sebring!
