I had been considering an '11 GT like many of you, but realize that good deals on them may not be available for some time. And then there is the new drivetrain realiability question. So yesterday I traded my '06 on a new '10 GT (see sig for details) at $7K off sticker with rebates! That is ~$4500 below invoice! I didn't even have to haggle--it was at a one-price store that advertised this deal.

The '10 is so much improved from my '06 that it should keep me happy until I'm ready to trade again in 3 years or so for a then-proven and discounted leftover '12 or '13. And yes, I know...

 

sounds awesome. get pics up. i may have to do a 2010 vert premium instead of a 2011 prem coupe then.

 

0% financing, rebates, discounts, federal tax rebate if you purchased last year - all made the '10 very appealing.

 

Congrats on the great deal, Jim! Most of us dealers know that many people won't consider a '10 unless there's a substantial discount now that the 5.0L is debuting in the '11. All that money you saved on the '10 will buy a lot of mods to keep up with (or surpass) the '11 in performance.

 

I wish they were dealing on the Shelbys. MSRP seems to be the best you can hope for on those cars.

 

Funny, but we sold all of our '10 GT500's below MSRP by a couple grand. You gotta keep shopping and you'll find deals out there.

 

@IWantMyNewGT: Congratulations on your new ride. I drove a '10 GT a couple weeks ago to help me decide if I want an '11 5.0L GT. I was very impressed with how nice it was, having not driven a Mustang since my ex-gf's 1983 Fox Body with 88hp.

@Brian: I will definitely keep looking. Thanks. I wonder if geography is playing into the local prices.

 

Got my 2010 GT for 26k out the door. Didn't do too bad me thinks.

 

Great deal! Mine had an MSRP of $33.7K and was out-the-door around $29.7K.

 

Nice deals. All the tech minus the new 5.0 engine. Hell with F/I prices the way they are, slap one of those on and your good to go ! A 2010 with a track pack and some mods will be a very nice ride

Obviously there is a tax component,
but $33.7K – $7K = $26.7K
Calif. Sales Tax rate = 7.25%
26.7K times 1.0725 = 28.6K
What was the other $1,000-ish?

Just very curious . . .

 

I wish I paid 7.25% in California. Orange County is over 9%. Title and registration is another ~$500. If you bought the car new in 2009 you can deduct the tax on your tax return.

 

CA base sales tax is no longer 7.25.

 

Aha - makes more sense now...
Thanks!

Over 9% sales tax - my, my...

 

Yep. Talk about getting reamed.

 

Land of Dummycrats. Their answer to everything it take your money and waste it.

 

Standard Government practive IMO..

 

Sales Tax on automobiles is 9.8% here in the Seattle area - ouch! At least license tabs are under $200 on a new Mustang still.

 

Thats what pisses me off. They're just throwing more water into a bucket with a hole in it!

 

Congrats on the new car! It sounds awesome and I can't wait to see pics.

As an aside, I can't believe Cali has 9% sales tax now. Thats nuts.
