Ford raising prices on the Mustang?!?!

05PhillyStang · Dec 20, 2004

I called my dealer last week to remove the optional wheels on teh GT because I wanted the Bullits instead. The dealer sent me a new print out of the oder confirmation (not the DORA). This is the screen print that shows all the different option with the retail and invoice price. Well, I noticed that my original sheet had a base MSRP of $24,370 for the GT Deluxe. It's now $24,600. What gives? I remove a $195 option from my order and the there's a net INCREASE of $35.00.

According to forddirect.com, the base price is still $24,370. Does anyone have any info on this. Thanks

From what I've heard, there was a price increase last week. However, that's a normal occurence throughout a model year. The '04 had several prices increases throughout last year. It has nothing to do with the trying to take advantage of the demand for the '05.

I think its for the undercoating. You gotta have that.

there seems to be lots of demand.

cars are lasting on the dealer lots an average of 2 hours. Why not raise prices now while demand is hot? It's what I'd do.

They did the same thing last year and the '04s definitely weren't leaving the lots in less than two hours. It's just business as usual.

Normal! I work at a dealership and the same explorer I bought my wife last year was $28,105 and now they are $28,695. Actually we had one back in late 01' and it was $26,715!

Ford has to do something to make up for all of these insane rebates out there!

Again I say read the back of your VEHICLE PURCHASED ORDER, Before you sign it! Because by signing, you have read and agree to it and acknowledge receipt of a copy of this Order.

This is nothing new here, it is all covered under #2 PRICE CHANGES. If you are dissatisfied you may cancell under the terms thereof.

So you think they are going to LOWER the MSRP later on? I doubt that.
