Then start at MSRP, not 1k over, don't tip your hand that you'd be willing to go higher. Just a thought...

 

Thanks for the recommendation but I am looking to start my offer at a $1000 over dealer's invoice rather than MSRP. I'm hoping I don't end up paying MSRP but it may turn out that way in the end.

 

When I sober up, I'll have to see what my choices cost. We are certain we get the 55R track pack on the base GT, right? That plus cloth Recaros and spoiler delete. Track pack comes with 3.73s and brembos right? And blue, deep impact style. Arg, three drinks and I can't remember anything. Thank god for spellcheck.

 

BOTH of you guys are awesome help. Much appreciated. I should have said it would be nice to buy from either one of yall. Most dealers around the Phoenix area are quite oblivious to the Mustang's. One even told me that the if you use the Red key on the Boss, it bumps the HP to 550 and the car lowers 2 inches........

 

 

GT's typically have terrible lease terms, while V6's tend to lease out well. No lease deals of any kind on the 13's.

 

Hey guys can anyone now speculate with more accuracy for GT500 pricing, or even the release of the order guide/ price list?

I am seriously thinking about pulling the trigger on a '12 since the deals are so good rather than waiting.

 

Smart answer is NO, but I would bet on it being at least competitive with the LS1.

 

I assume your looking at trading in as well?

 

More likely private sale while it's being built.

 

I was thinking the same and keeping my 04 for DD since the trade value kinda stinks on my 11.

 

Not sure you want to hear this speculation but I believe the base price will be around $53,000 for the coupe because of that engine. The 2012 figure was $49,495. Even amortized over several thousand Mustang units, one might conclude that 40% of the cost of this car will be from the 5.8L powerplant.

A current 5.4L crate engine has a suggested price of $20,999 from Ford Racing. I would think we'd see a couple of thousand more if the 5.8 gets offered that way.

Perhaps Ford will surprise us.

I did forget about the quote in a recent Car and Driver that mentions a price of $60,000 - yikes!

 

At this point I'm planning on and preparing to see a $59,000 or higher base price for the gt500 coupe. That way I know I'll have the numbers down right if it's that high, and if it's lower then I'll have a bit of room to play with. I really don't expect the coupe to price any lower than $57,000. The changes to the gt500 are significant. The car is a large step up from the '12 and all the beefing up of the power train will take its toll financially. It's going to take a real commitment to own one of these.

 

I was looking at a 2013 GT w/ the track pack and recaros, but the fact that used 2012 Boss 302's have hit the 37k and 38k mark, I may wait to see where prices are later in the year... if I can get a 2012 Boss 302 with a few miles on it for 1k more than a new 2013 GT w/ track pack and recaros, forget the 13.

 

Is there an updated/complete order guide that goes with the 2013 price guide?

 

So Five Oh Brian, where would you guys be on a base V6 102A tech pkg with 67B V6 perf pkg and recaros?

And I really expected to see the 67B with the name "mayhem" on it this year, glad Ford came to their senses on that score...

 

In gonna guess 26.5 if you're talking manual, 28 for automatic

 

Only Premium models get the 4.2" screen. GT Premiums can't be had with cloth Recaros - but, leather ones are optional. The cloth Recaros can only be had in the base model.

 

You're a tough act to follow, Jeff, but I'm trying my best. I was MIA for awhile this afternoon as I was busy selling a brand new '11 GT (that we lost thousands on to get it sold). Only one new '11 Mustang left on our lot and I want it gone before our first new '13 arrives next month! Tomorrow will be my first day off in 9 days. I hope your day off was great and I'm hoping mine will be, too!!!

 

Sad, but funny!
