NEARLY 2 YEARS WAITING: New Mustang GT PP is finally mine!

Gibbo said:
Hi there

Rumour is Mustang is getting a £750 price increase on September 1st and many other Ford's are also increasing in price due to Brexit vote.

So the car I paid £35,385 will cost £38,135 as of 1st September, nearly £3000 increase, the price increases and waiting time for new orders is certainly helping to keep second hand values high. :)

Though there is also rumour that all the options will also increase in price so overall increase could be even more.

Seems I got quite lucky with my first brand new car purchase, but not so lucky on the reliability front and how long it takes them to get parts and action a repair.

Looking second hand, there seems to be zero loss on them so far. Which is very very good!

Just buy a GT and do a far better job than Roush:



Just compare his facial expressions and what he has to say, he is absolutely in love with that GT, whereas in the Roush he was not happy from the get go.

Also bear in mind that Ford (FRPP) are now selling Power Pack 3 officially for the Mustang with warranty that gives you 495BHP and a 7600rpm rev limit as it uses the entire Shelby GT 350 intake system (CAI, TB, IM). Add some headers, catback exhaust and your well over 500 horsepower and around 450lb/ft.

Yes those who got them early on are typically making a small profit when they sell them, some dealerships have even taken cars back from owners at what they paid and then the dealership has sold for a profit.
 
Just hoping residuals stay high. Seriously thinking about putting mine up for sale end of this year or early next year. Nice to walk away with minimal losses lol.

$2,395.00 roughly for power pak 3 ............add to that wheels/tyres and exhaust, so it's easily doable.


if i did tune it as above would i loose the Ford warranty, i bet i would ??????
 
so it's £35590 in silver........with no other fancy extras (not needed anyway)...then with the mods on top maybe 42 grand or more

BUT there's a 6 month waiting list and a year for a Focus RS, that's really bad for the RS.

Are you looking to buy in the UK? Because the GT350 aren't readily available here anyway and would easily be double the price of a standard GT for an import.

When he buys a faster car than you, then maybe he has place to tell you things, but until then just LOL.

What is your R8 stock, late 10s or early 11s in the quarter at around 125mph terminals?

i wasn't actually, you just misread it, if you dont like drag racing why did you post in on that thread anyway.....what were you doing there in the 1st place............Jeez what a load of muppets there are here.
 
To be fair Mal you created a hell of a lot of noise around Evo's and now it seems Stangs but im not sure youve ever bought anything even though on several occasions you suggested you had or were about to?

Im happy to stand corrected as i dont pay close attention.

Because im a forum regular, contribute and comment on many threads, have met and attended other events organised by the OP, was discussing other events with the OP i probably will attend and was sharing my view of why that event wasnt for me but that others should go as it will be good. What have you added bar long ramblings about car purchases you never act on?

As you asked...
