05 GT Base Price of $26,900...

[RydeOn]

Anything over $24,000.00 (fully loaded hardtop) is a RIP OFF!! I know its a better car, but Ford owes us a better car at the same price when you consider the quality of other cars being made today.

Let's not get too far astray from the facts, here. A fully loaded 2004 Mustang GT coupe retails for just over $28k. I think it might be asking a bit much to have ford chop $4000 from the retail price on the new model.

maybe in canda but over here they are all 23,500 - 23,900. thats makes no sense considering a mach 1 is $30.000. any1 who pays $28,000 for a GT really loves their dealer

All of this discussion is based on MSRP. It is impossible to compare the estimated MSRP of the 2005 Mustang GT to the street price of a 2004. There will be rebates on the 2005 as well, and after the initial craze most people will not pay MSRP for the GT.

dude, your totally confusing me here.

look at the page posted. MSRP is $24,185 on a GT coupe. so where did you come up with this $28,000 from? my whole point is that raising the price on a GT $3000 is a rip-off and it is..

I've seen him logged in, he is just keeping quiet.

Doesn't he owe a lot of us money?

 

[Ron Jeremy]

$3,000 more for a Mustang GT is still a RIP OFF. Hear me again. RIP OFF! But there will be people out there who will pay more because they are dumb. I say just wait until the rebates come out. Then you can but one for under $24,000.

Thats what I was thinking!

[Ron Jeremy]

Your $41,390 MSRP Total is $24,834-$25,000 in U.S. Dollars. The Canadian Dollar is worth 40% less in the United States. So, the conversion would be $24,834-$25,000. That's not bad for a brand new 2004 Mustang GT convertible. Aey?

The current exchange rate is .772. That comes out to just under $32 000 US. Then add 7 to 16% sales tax, depending on what part of the country you are in.

Autoweek got it right. In the latest issue here is what they say about the 2005 Mustang:

And you'll like this: Bill Ford Jr. said the '05 Mustang will offer V8 power in the GT for less than $25,000.

Ford CA lists MSRP on the GT as starting at 31K

http://ford.ca/main/default.asp?language=en&section=1&sVehCategory=FordCars&model=Mustang

I don't really care what the MSRP is going to be on these cars. I care what I will be able to get one for from the dealer when they start selling them. I walked out with a signed deal for my Delux 6 back in March of 2002 of $17,900 total including tax. It was a factory order due to the Sonic Blue. I'm going to do the same thing if they offer the non GT V8. Walk in, make an offer - they take it and I wait for delivery or they don't and I shop on. Real simple.

That's Canadian $. Is that what you guys have in NY now?

 

[SVTdriver]

Reread his post. It said "fully loaded".

Uhh, quick question, I know I am not on the '05 pages here much, but did he just say "non GT V-8?" As in, LX? Like a V-8 Mustang that is not a GT? I did not know they were seriously talking about making one.

Also, I think the GT's are getting a tad too pricey also. I know inflation is a bee-hahtch, but remember when the '96 Cobra came out and everyone was crying about how $28K was too expensive? Don't you wish an '03 Cobra was $28K?

Hell, I remember working at a Ford dealer in high school and seeing LX 5.0's leaving for $12-$13K! A "big money" GT canvertable fully loaded was like $20K.

Ahhh, the good ol days...........

There is not going to be a 2005 V8 Mustang for under $20K and there is not going to be a V8 Mustang under the GT like a LX.

The GT with it's V8 will start out with a sticker a bit under $25K

 

[Xaranthu]

Built for life in Canada in the top corner of that link would be a clue. You can walk away with a GT in my area for about 22K.

Do a search on cars.com - you can get an 03 Cobra for 27K - some dealers are selling verts at that price with a few miles on them.
