For those who has ordered the 2011 Mustang GT, what was the final price?

[scupking]

I ordered 2011 base GT, 3.73, Brembo, & spoiler delete.........Total price $30,900 (plus tax & tags) I will also get any incentives/rebates offered at the time delivery, but I'm sure there won't be any incentives offered.

Thats a good price. No better sports car/muscle car on the road for that price.

Cars are depreciating assets, as are most consumable goods we buy. Durable goods and real property usually hold even or appreciate, although the last two years have taught us otherwise. It's not a salesman's fault (or the dealerships' fault) that cars depreciate. Used car values drop because the market demand dictates what people are willing to pay for used cars. It's all supply and demand economics.

Want to avoid depreciation on a new car? That's easy! Lease it! Ford offers a Red Carpet Lease that has a guaranteed residual value at the end of the lease that you can buy it for. If the trade-in value tanks, then you simply turn in the car at lease end and avoid the loss (depreciation). If the trade-in value at lease end is higher than the residual, then you can trade it in or buy it and come out ahead. Best of both worlds - take the gain if there is one and avoid the loss if there is one.

You can build a lease with as many miles per year as you intend to drive, so don't be fooled into thinking you're limited in that respect. Also, you can modify a leased vehicle, but if you turn the car in you don't get credit for those items and you may have to pay for damages (if any).
