Well said! That should be your signature.

 

I bet with all the goodies we'll be right around 40K. Geez, I hope Henry doesn't pull A Plan!

 

You're there now with the 2010 GT fully loaded with glass roof, nav and all the rest of the goodies.

It all depends on the price of the new motor & trans.

 

All things I have heard from people I have contact with, says the price will barely increase. They factored it already for the 2010 model year. Only time will tell if its true.

 

I agree, I'm just saying that the price of the 2010 is already darn near at 40k for a fully loaded GT. I priced one yesterday and I hit $37k. If you want the auto and glass roof you are at or near $40k.

Will Ford offer a factory stripe option on '11 GT?

 

But who orders them fully loaded? Way too many luxury goodies to choose from, and the odds that someone would find value in all of them on the same car is not likely. I order all the Mustangs for the dealership I work for and we have several new '10 GT's under $30K after rebate, with the average being in the $31K to $32K range after rebate for popularly equipped GT Premium Coupes.

 

I looked at a base GT and it was $27,995 on Ford's site.

Since when do we look at a fully optioned car as the price one would pay for it?
I think it is great that Ford offers a $40k optioned Mustang. Let the people who want the options buy them, and let the profit made from those go into making an overall nicer car. Ford wouldn't be able to offer the interior they do on a $25k car. The flip side, is the $40k buyer expects the increase quality -- but we all benefit from it -- even the V6 crowd.

Ford is allowing us to buy/make the car we want, pure and simple. The fact that it offers so many luxury options is a good thing. Doesn't mean you have to buy them all. That is why they are called options.

 

Yes, just as in 2010.

 

Me!!

 

Yup, there out there.

 

I just did a quick look in the 2010 order banks to price up base and loaded 2010 GT's. I assumed our store's standard markup (available to any customer, as we're a one-price store) and the $1500 factory rebate available in our region...

2010 GT Coupe (300A)... MSRP = $28,845. Sale Price after rebate = $25,863.
2010 GT Premium Coupe (400A)... MSRP = $31,845. Sale Price after rebate = $28,563.
2010 GT TrackPack = MSRP = $33,375. Sale Price after rebate = $29,894.

All are below $30K before you start adding options, so let's add in the goodies.... I took a 2010 GT Premium Coupe with premier package, automatic, security package, electronics package, glass roof, HID's, comfort package, remote starter, 19" wheels, and rearview camera. MSRP = $40,620. Sale Price after rebate = $36,200. So, while you can get MSRP over $40K (barely), actual transaction prices after dealer discount and rebate is a few thousand shy of $40K.

So, there's a spread of about $10K in options from base GT to loaded premium GT [$26K to $36K in my examples above].

If the 2011 really holds the line on pricing, it should still be easy to spend well under $35K for a very nicely equipped Premium GT Coupe.

 

that would be great if it turns out to be true

 

Me, I order them pretty much fully loaded. With track pack, electronics package and HID's MSRP was right at $37k I believe.

Dave

 

Priced out a 2010 GT with Track Pack, HIDs, Security pkg, comfort pkg, and the premium trim, sticker was 35,285, but A-plan came in around 31,269. Debated on whether or not to order with the electronics/nav pkg as well.

 

Did you not see I said a fully loaded Mustang GT is approaching 40k...I didn't say base, I said fully loaded. I'm not talking about what is being negotiated or before rebate. The fact is a fully loaded Mustang GT's MSRP is over $40k now.

Why does everything have to end up in a pissing match....no where in my post did I state the transaction price is $40k, just the MSRP.

 

I do/will.

 

Absolutly! I just priced out the Mustang I'd order (just learned you could order stripes on a GT if you sacrifice 401 package) = $37,660! If this is the case come '11 I'll be ordering as soon as the order banks open!

 

I'm another that orders them fully loaded.
