fewer new 2012 Boss 302s each day
Today according to cars.com there are only 392 new 2012 Boss 302s left. This number has been dropping at least a handful a day. Listed is a fully loaded RR/blk in AL for just $39,991, and a Black LS in CO for as much as $89,995. I'm sure the ones listed for MSRP or less won't last.

What sucks is that I won't be ready to buy for another 2 or 3 years. It's going to be incredibly hard to find a 2012 or 2013 Boss, especially LS at this rate. I'll have better luck finding a GT500 with track pack! This kind of saddens me.

There are super low milage cars out there.
In two three years there will be the new hotness Mustang out there and you will be able to find your '12-13 Boss.

It's the 10+ year point where they start to become questionable as many will have heavy mileage, been wrecked, modified, and tracked heavily. Ever shop for something like a Cobra R, E30 M3, or 993 C2S? The number of "clean" examples are rare and most are priced in the stratosphere.
Best of luck with your eventual purchase.

Did the mach 1 really have as much hype as the boss?
In either case, I never keep my cars for more than 3 years....I'm lucky to keep it 2

And yes those cars.com cars at ridiculous prices are just a ploy for you to come in, I know, I called of them when I was shopping for my boss

Do a search for a 2003 - 2004 Mach 1. The old hotness..............

yeah I think you guys might be right. I just figured most Boss owners would want to hang on but by that time, like you said, the new hotness will be out. And a good deal of owners will be moving on.
When I came back from Iraq I wanted a 2004 SVT Cobra but couldn't justify the cost at the time but it was my short lived dream. Now that I care more about vehicle dynamics and more I feel the Boss is the best suited. Anyway no more rambles from me, continue on topic.

Get your 12'-13' boss who knows how reliable or upgrade able the new body style will be if they put and IRS in it. It will take a couple years for them to work out the kinks besides it will add a lot of weight to the car.

As for the next best thing, I can remember growing up in the 70s when we thought we would wait until the next best thing, and it looked promising that the next best thing was on its way. Well, almost 30 years later, the next best thing finally arrived! Although I suspect you are right that the next-gen Ponies will be even better than now, I also suspect that the horsepower wars won't last forever, so don't wait too long.

In ten or fifteen years you may not be able to give them away....
....It is 2025 the federal government now mandated manufactures must meet 100 mpg and has outlawed fossil fuel cars... All that is available is electric, or hopefully CNG & LNG so we can convert our BOSS to natural gas for a ride to the car show. All way being left in the dust at the lights from some punk,.. who today is in first grade,... with his stock electric Mustang Mach V that without a sound goes from 0-60 in 2.7.
So enjoy now.. and don`t be left in the dust!!!

plus, we will see smaller ecoboost engines in base stangs eventually and that engine is very economical. ford just unvield the 3-cylinder ecoboost in the UK for the fiesta, that **** thing has more power and torque than the 4-banger my wife had in her 88 LX back in the day. so smaller, lighter revamped mustang, small ecoboost engine, suddenly the people that just want mustang style have a stang that is actually an economy car so we can have the V8. i think we would all go for that, tiny ecoboost in the base stang, ecoboost V8 in a new cobra for the enthusiasts. normal V8 in cars like the boss.
and not to start a political debate, but this fuel economy seems to be what Obama wants to leave behind as his "legacy", if he gets out of office we could see this all go away or at least greatly reduced. not all in Washington think we need to leave fossil fuels behind over a 15 year period.
