Not cynical, just logical. People would be thinking of bailing as i type this. Just human nature. Ford knows this and needs to keep sales flowing. It's their most expensive car (excluding Everest and Wildtrak) with nice margins for dealers, because they are selling for retail, or close to, in solid numbers. I can see Fords dillema.
Hi James, i commend your move. I probably would do the same thing in your shoes. I have been lucky enough to have enjoyed my S550 GT vert for nearly a year now, due to a deposit laid down in 2014. Will probably hang on for all new S650 in 3 or 4years. That's if the whole RHD S550 experiment doesn't go pear shaped and the S650 goes LHD only. In which case, S550 would become an instant collector.
Your dealer is a muppet. I have seen the dealer memo advising to tell customers second half of 18 for aus. What is not known is what features from the us spec we will actually get. Judging by the first launch it's best to wait until a car actually lands before writing in stone.
There has already been a MY18 RHD mule spotted, so unlikely that it will be delayed for that long.
I think he's correct re resale value. Prices have taken a hit in the past few weeks, which I put down to a combination of ANCAP and announcement of MY18.
Of course supply is catching up with demand now and people changing orders to MY18 assists this as well. Mustang will suffer depreciation just like most, when a new model arrives.
Correct but bad press just makes it worse no matter what we all think the ancap rating and shot airbag deployment ect will hit resale and my17 sales. You can pickup cars off dealer floors in some cases or pickup a cancellled order if you want a 17
You and me both! When did you order?
