05 Mustang

Just wondering what ya all think of the 05 Mustang. I'm still waiting to see one in person but I like the pictures. Also the new 500 looks sharp to me.

Gotdiesel, are they offering any rebates or incentives on the new mustang? Are they selling at MSRP?

no rebates or incentives. the v-6 is at sticker but we can get them. the GT is just impossible to get. there is only one plant making the 05 and it just cant crank out enough. we have special orders waiting to be put in. they are only letting us order about one GT a week. and last week we couldnt order any GT's. for these reasons they are a couple grand over sticker right now. theyll probably stay that way until the production picks up a little bit.

Read that the average life span for a 05 on the lot was 2 hours. Not bad. I love the way they look and will be waiting for the Cobras.

I'm waiting for the problems to start, so they can fix them, so I can buy one in a few years, used but with all the required updates....

Yeah... that'll probably be me as well... Love to buy one... can't afford (or justify) two car payments... I really want a "toy" car, but it will have to be purchased outright.

On the bright side, pre-'05 'stangs seem to be going for peanuts.

I pan on waiting until my truck is paid off to get a new stang. will buy it new, hopefully they have either mach 1s or Boss' out then that should be in just under 2 and a half years from now...unless it gets paid off early.
