First Time Buying A New Mustang. Help?

[Old 5 Oh]

Do some reading in the "Order, Tracking, etc" thread

Join Mustang Club of America for $50.

You will get a PIN and "X Plan" Pricing plus limited dealer charge to $100.

Build and price the car you want on the Ford.com website - prices will be MSRP

With your MCA PIN you can repeat build and price with "X Plan" prices.

Order the Mustang brochure, may get another $750 credit, check Ford incentives.

I hope this helps.

Lots of tips on the Forum

I would highly recommend considering the GT Premium if you are looking at GT.

Good Luck!!

All of this was exactly what was on this forum last Summer when many of us were ordering. It's Gospel. Do it. All of it.:first:

I paid $43,390, MSRP, less a $1,500 Ford incentive discount thing that I didn't ask for and wasn't told about until I came in to pick up the car and sign the paperwork.

TrueCar says that, for a car specc'ed like mine, the median price is $40,864. So, $2,500 less than I agreed to, and $1,000 less than I actually paid. It seems like a lot of work to go haggling with dealers and shopping around and whatnot to save a thousand bucks.

Yeah, none of those Socialist dealers near NYC would take X-Plan, would they? You got about the worst deal of any of the early adopters last summer and it didn't seem like there was much you could do about it. I guess the NYC dealers have $1.4 million home mortgages to pay, too!:headbonk:

I used unhaggle.com to get the best price then contacted 10 dealerships in the area and told them what I want and let them know that I will be purchasing from the best price. So basically it was a bidding war, and in the end I was able to purchase 6% below invoice price.

But I was unhaggle.com. Email at least 10 dealers near you, before you know it they are battling each other for your business. Get a signed sales agreement with tax, tags, title and all fees. No surprises.

You have them all on the same email chain or just going back and forth with each of them individually?

My advice. Lie about what your bottom line is, because the dealer will ALWAYS undercut you.

If the car stickers @ $40,000, and you want to pay $37,000, tell the dealer you will walk unless you get $35,000.

That way, when you guys do your back and fourth, you eventually "settle" on something close to what you had in mind.

When I bought mine, the car price was easy, but the trade in value had 2 days and probably 4 "best offers" before we agreed on a deal.

DONT BE AFAID TO WALK AWAY!!

If you don't like the deal, literally walk away. If the dealer has any more room, they will call you. They always do. If you don't hear from them in a day or 2 at the most. You actually had their best deal.

email them individually, ask them for their best price. Then take the best price quoted with a follow up email saying "dealer"A" will sell for $X4,000, can you beat this price?"

Within a few days and several emails I had three dealers at 2% under invoice, all claiming that "they wont be undersold".

Skip any "undercarriage coating" stuff they try to sell you.

How much did you save?

Being my first time dealing with a dealership, I probably didn't go as low as I could have with what I ordered and what I put down. I saved about $2300.

I would have paid full price, BUT... they don't need to know that, now do they;)
