According to the " Canadian Mustang owners club"
Quote :

We just got our first official glimpse at the new 412-horsepower, 5.0-liter 2011 Ford Mustang GT last month ahead of the 2010 Detroit Auto Show. Today pricing information for the GT and the 305-horsepower 3.7-liter V-6 has leaked via an enthusiast site.

The leakage contains numbers that are not all that surprising, though they do reveal a slight price hike for the new model. The base V-6 coupe starts the lineup off at $22,995, while the least expensive V-6 Convertible starts at $27,995. Moving up to the GT, the coupe starts at $30,495 and the convertible runs from $35,495. Adding the Premium trim to any of these adds a premium of about $3,000.

So how does the 2011 Ford Mustang's pricing stack up to the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro's? Pretty well--although the Camaro V6 starts out a few hundred dollars cheaper at first glance, when the destination charge is added in (it's included in the Mustang prices listed above) the Mustang is actually about $600 cheaper. The same goes for the Camaro SS, which starts at $30,945 plus an $850 destination fee, making it about $1,350 more expensive than the 'Stang GT.

The Mustang also one-ups the Camaro by offering a convertible. Though the new Camaro has had convertible concepts since 2007, so far the car has yet to make it to market. The latest word on the matter is that the Camaro 'vert is due in March--of 2011.

 

Not too bad, thx Dan... anything about GT500 ?

 

I feel sorry to say this, especially since this is is my first post! But these are NOT the canadian prices. This are clearly the US once.

 

U.S GT coupe MSRP : $29645 VS CDN GT coupe MSRP : $30495 i found that to be a very good news indeed. Not much difference, plus we get the the confort group standard ( 53B) . I Have an idea when i go to sleep tonight.

 

No sorry that is still wrong. Factor in US$850 Destination and you have a total of US$30495 for the GT and US$22995 for the base V6.

 

Well according to the price list posted here by Jeff, the MSRP is different than those they posted by a $1000.....someone has some explaining to do, i mean that other site. Maybe i got too excited too fast. We'll see.

 

I think you are right, you just burst my bubble big time. Let's banned this member. I guess thinking i was reading stuff from a CDN site ....anyways.....there you go.

 

Current V6 starts at 24,499 coupe/30,199 vert
GT starts at 37,499 coupe and 41,699 vert

I'd expect the GT to be roughly the same, maybe 38,499 or so.

 

haha ya I was going to say, WOW price drop for Canadians! hahaha...I WISH

 

Yeah, 2010 GTs would be WAY overpriced at that point.
Heck at those prices, I'd sign up tomorrow

 

Fixed it for me, 'cause, y'know, I couldn't help myself, eh?

/take off.

 

Roughly the same.......... that's a $1000 more for the GT.....
You guys have to all forgive me for posting those prices up last night. I got a bit tired and got caught up in the excitment.....followed by a back to earth crash.
So that would make for a big difference between the CDN Gt and U.S version. So Jeff you're still in the equation.

 

I just started making some calculations on say a $38500 CDN GT and it's U.S counterpart at $30500 U.S and got this CAA site which explains all the cost, and came to the conclusion that for a base GT, it's not woth all the hassle for saving so little. So many taxes and various fees to take into account that in the end you're not saving anything basically. I'm disappointed to say the least.

Hi Dan,

Did you try to price out similar equipped 2010 cars from ford.ca and ford.com? I know there was a 10k difference in MSRP with the GT500.

 

I did before and the difference was like 4-5k before taxes. (IIRC)
being that the canadian car has a LOT of standard features that are options on the US cars.

Canadian GTs automatically come with Sync+shaker500, leather, heated seats and electronic group

 

Which brings up another point, what if someone didn't want to get the premium model? Simply not possible up here.

From Ford.ca a BASE GT Candy Red coupe with Track Pack II and Security package = 41400$ all in.
From Ford.com Premium GT Candy Red coupe with Track Pack, Comfort Group and Security package = 35065$ all in.

 

That's a 2010 car. Like Pete said, a few options we have standard on our cars here that i didn't even counted in the base U.S 2011 GT coupe. Let's wait for the prices, and then i'll do a comparo chart and will post it here.

Fees payable
In addition to the price of the vehicle purchased from the U.S. dealership ( 6% in PA as Jeff mentionned), the following fees must be factored in:

• [*]
• [*]
• [*]
• [*]

 

Check out this handy checklist of steps to importing a car, it's what I used when I did it. The links are now out of date though.

The Green Levy applies to a vehicle whether it's built for or imported into Canada. As such, it's the same either way. HOWEVER - ONLY the GT500 had the tax, and it was 1000$ for the 2007 model year. If you're getting a regular GT, no fee, so no problem. Otherwise, it's a wash.


Make sure your dealer can do the DRL mods. I was told "no problem" ahead of time, then "oops, we can't just turn them on, we need install a module, and it's going to cost 330$" once I brought the car in.

GST/PST also don't count as you pay them anyway. Actually, you save more because you're NOT paying taxes on the difference in price, as recorded using the exchange rate that Canada Customs has in effect at the time you bring the car in.

Going back to the 2010 GT example above, the difference in MSRP is 6350$ If we assume 1.07CAD/USD, then the MSRP becomes 37520, add 100$ excise, then the sales taxes and you get 37620*1.05*1.075 = 42463$ Add the RIV fee (230$), inspection (100$), and DRL's (150$) and you get 42944$.

This compares to 41400 + PST + QST = 46730$ for the same model off of a local lot. So the savings before your travel budget is 3786$, and can be more if you don't want all the standard features you have to take on the Canadian car.

Much of the savings just evaporated with the exchange rate in the past few days, but there is still some potential. Of course, we're all waiting to see what they are going to do with the 2011 prices...

 

Yeah, we're just gonna have to wait and see what the prices are, and what the exchange rate would be at a given time, which will be like impossible to know unless you get a loan or cash money when the exchange rate between the CAD/USD is at par. Hopefully soon, that's what they say anyway.
Will have a chat about this soon PT ! We would need a salesman in N-Y, man what a save. 6%, that's a lot of dough. I like Jeff a lot, but 6% is 6%.
Someone knows when was the CDN prce list showed up after the US one ?

 

Hey Dan,

The PA state sales tax does not apply to goods delivered out of state. Maybe this could work with a car drop shipped to Plattsburgh?

Separately there is a process to request a refund of the state sales tax if tax has subsequently been paid in another jurisdiction.
