So it might have already been speculated but I am honestly too lazy to read all 67 pages over again. Now that the regular price list has been released, when can we expect the price of the GT500?
To be honest I am starting to wonder if I should jump on a 2012 while the one I want might still be out there in a showroom rather than be disappointed by a 60,000+ price tag in a month or so.

 

Ok how do you find out what the 400A , 401A, 402A pkg are?

 

The order guide in the first post details them out

 

So what exactly would it cost for just a base model GT? I mean no extra options at all...it seems like people are really upset with the pricing, but it doesn't seem to be much more than last years base prices. Is it the cost of the options that people are upset with?

 

I think folks were just hoping the Recaro seats were $500...

 

100A = V6 Base
101A = V6 + Appearance Package (Lower Tape Stripe, Decklid Spoiler)
102A = V6 + Tech Package (SYNC, Fog Lamps, Power Driver Seat, Auto-dim mirror)
200A = V6 Premium
201A = V6 + Appearance Package (Lower Tape Stripe, Decklid Spoiler)
202A = V6 + Pony Pack
203A = V6 + MCA
300A = GT Base
301A = GT Base + Tech Package (SYNC, Power Driver Seat, Auto-dim mirror)
400A = GT Premium
401A = GT Premium with Interior Trim
402A = California Special

 

$1000 woulda been fine.

 

well your looking at a sticker price of 41k but then when you take it back to invouce (or near), throw a little rebate on it you'll already be down to around 37k. Go to a base with the cloth recaros and then your at 33k you want to be at.

when you look at it, 33k for a 420 horse 32 valve v-8 that delivers stellar performance on many levels really is a bargain.

Pay up or shut up is what I say. If you have to haggle with yourself over 1-2k on a car purcahse your biting off more then you can chew to begin with. just my .02

 

We were expecting the same price that the Canadian price guide had listed and not a 500 more on each the track pack and the seats

 

Is some where close to invoice a good price to get?

 

wow and people on the forum wonder why younger people buy "ricer" cars.. im 27 and i find its a bit uncalled for to tell a fellow member who likes mustangs to "SHUT UP" and just pay any price ford asks. i find it rude that you also tell me what you think i should do with MY money. i could buy alot of diffrent cars for mid 30s that have this kind of performance. is it not the american way to get a good deal? ask for reasons why things cost what they do? how are some options in america where the car made more expensive than the canadian options? that seems odd.. and why do you miss my point entirely. I know someone who had a 462 wheel HP car on the dyno for 15k total. whats the HP have to do with the price? that car came with leather wrapped racing seats as well and had a sticker price of about 21K.. idk about you but you must not be able to read what i write. again. why would someone pay mid 30K's for a cloth seat car. no one who would pay that kind of money would want that, as stated before i was told by a ford dealer that i could get a leather recaro seat set up AND the track pack for 33k. no with pricing people are complaining because of the GT encroaching on Boss territory. long story short.. how can ford be charging lets say 40k for not even a fully decked out mustang when the base price is seriously half that. the GT is a motor option not a special edition. or anything. and according to you im not allowed to think or have an opinion..

 

Invoice is $35,700.

 

I am sorry for your loss. That was a beautiful car.

 

So how do we find out what price level 300 was? retail orders have price protection against an increase... or did 300 not even exist?

 

Todays the day fellas! Headin over to metro ford after I work this OT. Looks like im gonna be paying $38500 for a manual GT Premium with glass roof, recaros, and Track Pack. That price includes x-plan, $500 incentive, destination, and that gay fuel/advertisement charge. Gonna put down $23500 (mostly money saved from the cars ive sold privately recently) and have an easily manageable $322 monthly payment. Hopefully i dont get slapped in the face with any more fees. The frustration from that $2000 swing i took yesterday aged me bout 2 years but Im excited to finally pull the trigger.

 

Track Apps!

 

Just for grins, I priced out my 2010 GT with the 4.6L engine/manual transmission and premium trim level to the 2013 equivalent with the 5.0L engine (MSRP). Here is what it comes out to be -

2010 GT Premium Coupe (P8C) - $30,995
2013 GT Premium Coupe (P8C) - $34,300

2010 3:55 rear axle (455) - $395
2013 3:55 rear axle (455) - $395

2010 19" nickel wheels (64V) - $695
2013 19" nickel wheels (64V) - $995


2010 destination/delivery - $850
2013 destination/delivery - $795


2010 TOTAL (not including advertising or document fees) - $32, 935
2013 TOTAL (not including advertising or document fees) - $36, 485


So the question is would I find the 5.0L engine + 6-speed manual transmission, the styling updates, and any other content differences I missed worth the $3500 price increase. For engine alone, I'd probably say 'yes'.

The GT track pack and Recaro options, in my opinion, are what are being offered to make those who didn't want to make the stretch to the Boss happy. That engine in the Boss is what ups the base price, especially when you consider a crate engine 5.0L is around $7000 and crate Boss engine is $12000.

I do agree that once you start adding the options, as in any car, the bottom line increase can seem dramatic.

 

Car can be ordered this weekend - Conceps is up and running. As long as the order is in the system by Wednesday, close of business, it'll be considered for the weekly scheduling that happens on Thursday.

 

I'm not sure of the exact formula for X-plan, but I priced up the '13 GT/CS in your signature and MSRP is $42,470, while X-plan is $39,816. The invoice total is $39,700 for comparison, so X-plan is $116 over invoice in your car's example.

 

Rebates are always be adjusted up or down by manufacturers depending on their perceived need for more or less cash on the hood. Rebate may get better again by the time the '13's start arriving, so it's too early to condemn Ford for the change.
