Ford Canada f***ed us again: 2017 prices revealed

[Spectre]

I'm out. montreal_ponies was right... 73k non-R base price, plus 4000 for the electronics package, means with fees but before taxes, the car is 80k. As expected (but not hoped for), Ford conveniently ignores when our dollar actually increases in value (as it has done considerably by now since last year) but has no problem anticipating when it drops (like it did for the 2016s)

Want one, yes. But not at that price. Good luck to the rest of Canada's potential buyers.

Told ´ya , i saw the price bump coming a mile away. These Ford executives and share holders are a greedy bunch.

That's too bad as this will put one of the best Mustang ever built out of reach for most Canadian enthousiasts.

So that's about 57k USD. What's base US price? About 50k? So 14% to get it in Canada doesn't sound unrealistic.

Is part of the increase due to duty/tariffs or other Gov't fees above and beyond sales tax/VAT or whatever you Canuks use?

So 73k + freight + fees + electronics + GST or HST. 85-90k OTD

Glad I picked up my base when I did.

 

[Mustang_2015]

The base gt is 38,000CAN-> 30,000 USD

thats about the same it is in the US...

There's all sorts of issues at play; economies of scale (or lack thereof) and exchange rates being the biggest.

Ford knows exactly how much each GT350(R) costs to produce in greenbacks. What they can't predict is how much profit margin they'll make given fluctuations in the looney, especially given the massive swings in exchange rate over the last few years.

The price is a hedge, and it makes business sense. But I get it; it sucks for buyers.

US base is about $55. Not much a of a difference.

 

[SchultzLT1]

Huh? That's $57,782 USD. Not much more than the car is right here in the states. I don't understand the unfair part.

56,495 is the base price with no options.

FYI guys, here was my calculations for a 2016 (CDN$) as a comparison:

MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) $63,099.00
Equipment Group 900A $-
Technology Package $9,400.00
Over the Top' Racing Stripes $600.00
Weathershield Full Vehicle Cover $475.00
ADM(SVT Fee) $2,000.00
AC Tax $100.00
Freight $1,650.00
-------------
Price of Vehicle $77,324.00
-------------
Now add Extended Service Plan, Vehicle Extended Warranty, Administration/Documentation fees and Taxes.
------------
Purchase Price $97,900.55
------------

 

[montreal ponies]

So a base 2017 Shelby GT350 $73,678 cdn
Electronic pack. $4,000 cdn
Destination. $1650 cdn
AC tax. $100 cdn
Over the top stripe. $600 cdn
Black roof. $850 cdn
Total. $80878 cdn + 15% taxes ( Quebec )
Grand total : $ 93009 cdn

 

[IA350]

So using this converter a 2016 $58345 Tech pack car would cost $73,773.75 in CA dollars.

So if the price is in Canadian dollars and not US dollars then its close, right?

 

[Ven0r]

It's alot of money here, but realistically its about the same with the current exchange rates. One good thing is you probably wont have to worry about ADM on a non R.

It's such a nice car i'd pay the price again.
