UK Mustang - Pricing Revealed

:lol:

 

Great write up in CAR this month, Mustang V8 vs i8 vs Hellcat vs Huracan. Does extremely well, comes out as best all rounder.

 

That's some serious competition it's up against.

I love it.... I actually like the old shape too but this more........Showed the missus these pics ... It's official I have sign off... Started the pony saving fund today !! By 2025 I might be able to afford one!

Before everyone starts wetting their pants over these I hired the v8 in LA last week (along with a 2014 Stingray). While it may ostensibly appear to be good value the build quality is very poor (think proton circa 1990), the steering is servoed to death and too floaty, and the throttle response is hilariously slow. It's a big fat American GT, not a sports car. The zed feels like a scalpel in comparison with rolls royce build. Still, the Stang is a lot of fun to powerslide and can sound rorty if you keep the revs high enough.

Spoke to a dealer yesterday and the "story" is......

RHD production will not commence until September.

This is the best bit..... the first 500 are to be made available to Premiership and Champions League footballers, some sort of promotion by Ford. It's not to say all the 500 will be snapped up, but he doesn't know what deal they will be getting.

So at the moment it's £1000 down - a special form is filled out then Ford will deal with you direct. To stop you selling your place in the queue.

The dealership I spoke to has had 5 confirmed deposits across the the South West, all 'rag tops' and all 5.0L manuals. No take up on the 2.3L and no interest in autos. Most popular colour - grey.

So, if you want one, you might get one for March 2016.

 

It's a good "story" ...........

The first 500 were sold to anyone who placed an order during a CL game last year, not to the footballers involved. Big promotion thing at the time, I remember being tempted to pick the phone up myself...

 

Long lead times on Fords in nothing new, I waited 18mths just for my truck!

Hang on......someone has driven one and didn't like it much?

 

I thought we were all instructed that we had to want this car, otherwise we weren't 'petrol heads'. Not sure I want to be a 'petrol head' anyway - sounds a bit too much like 'crack head'.

Shame the leads times are going into 2016. I was hoping to pick one up in 2 years for 20-25k.

 

Might have to scratch my 997 itch first then.

Actually it was a 2012 - has it really come on that much in three years? Guess you could say the same about the C6 vs C7 corvette...
