I hope I'm not jinxing myself here, but after years of drooling and saving and an extended lay off and other trials and tribulations, I may be pulling the trigger on a 2012 order in a couple days.

I'd like to know what you think of this deal, and if anyone can compare it to X-Plan for me I would appreciate it:

Specs:
-2012 Mustang GT Premium Coupe
-6 speed manual
-White/Stone
-HID & Security Package
-Reverse Sensing
-3.55 rear end


MSRP: $35,510
$98 Over Invoice Price $33,357.92
+Tax: $300
+New Tags $51 ($37 if your transferring)
-Current Ford Rebates: $500
+Closing Costs, Doc Fees, Admin Charges: $0
Out the Door Price: $33,208.92

Seems good to me, but how does it compare to X-Plan? Would you go for it?

 

My car's MSRP was $36200 and the X-Plan price was $34000 and change so that's right about the same as your deal.

 

Here's some X-Plan figures for 2012 GT Premium

MSRP $33,045
X-Plan $31,140

Your features are around $2010 (looking on the Ford prices on the site), so with the X-plan you're looking at around $33,150 without considering rebates, taxes, delivery fee, etc.

So you might save a few bucks, not much. I would suggest that you use the X-Plan price as a baseline, try to save beyond that. If I had bought my v6 for the X-Plan price I would have felt ripped off.

Don't forget that there is also a 750 coupon from Ford if you request a brochure and mark down that you're going to buy soon. I think I read that they are sending via email now. I requested mine and bought my Mustang 4 days later- I hadn't gotten the coupon but they could look it up in the computer.

 

Also, ****, where do you live?? That's below 1% tax!

 

Don't know about him but in SC sales tax on a vehicle is $300.

 

If there really is no doc fees it would make sense to do the deal not using X-plan. I calculated X-Plan at $33,401.88 based on the info above. So your a little ahead . . . FWIW I have seen a number of people negotiate under invoice on orders so there may still be some $ left there too.

 

Yup, I'm SC. Sales tax is a low, flat rate but they're going to r@pe me on property tax to make up for it.

In regard to the $750 coupon, I requested the 2012 brochure from the Ford site and marked the option that I'm going to buy in 0-30 days. Haven't received anything yet, but I'm hoping I will!

 

Dang! I'm paying $2500 in tax here in Florida, but then again we don't have state taxes. I was wondering how your OTD was so low when I saw it in the other thread!

 

Oh, rest assured that I will be slapped in the ***** with what I'm estimating to be a full G (if not more) in property tax by the local government. And that's just for the first year.

I just hope they have the **** MT82/clutch issues resolved for us 2012 owners...
