Mach 1: 2023 production cut-off?

[7six2]

I'm just logging back into the forum after a long absence. I'm wanting to get back into a Mustang and the Mach1 caught my eye. Honestly I haven't paid any attention to the new production mustangs until last week so I'm out out of the loop regarding production dates. What is going to be the cut off dates for the Mach 1 Mustang? It looks like the new styled '24 is coming fast and there arent a lot of M1s on the lots. Are the dealers still getting deliveries?

Get one while you can. Sadly the dealers are going to make it hurt, so bring lube.

Mine should show up at Grainger’s in about 3 weeks. I think mine was built just last week. One of the last ones.

Look on CarGurus.com. Lots of brand new 2022 models for 5k off msrp and some 2023 models now showing below msrp. Get one while you can.

There is a difference in unit's on lots to be sold, and dealers willing to deal on them.

I can hear the salesman's voice now. Last MACH-1's, last classic interior dash, last not totally locked up ECU(PCM) Last s550's.

My only counter that is they need to get them off their lots to make room for S650’s. Their allocations are based on how many they sell, so they don’t want these things sitting around too long. They’ll hold out for higher pricing for a little bit, but I’ll bet starting in May you’ll start to see good markdowns to get S550’s off the lots.

They must have a loophole. The Shelby's sat in showrooms And if doing so would hurt them getting another, they have not sat on them.

Shelby is a different allocation system than the Eco, GT and Mach 1 so those cars sitting for a while don’t have the same effect, at least to my knowledge.

I think there will be very few sales guys that even honestly really know much about the PCM being locked down unless it's a roush dealer too. Most sales guys aren't as knowledgeble about stuff like that (I know because I work in service and you should hear some of the questions sales people ask sometimes )

Thanks for the viewpoints and info. Buying another car was further down my list, but I might need to make it happen sooner than expected, that is if we want to buy new off the lot. I'm ok with buying used later on, but the wife would rather see me buy a new car with full warranty.

I know what you mean. The Mustang Mach 1 is one of only a few cars I would consider buying. However, I don't need a new car, enjoy what I drive, and don't have garage space for another car. I hate that the Mach 1 option is now gone or soon to be gone. I will probably regret not getting one in a couple years if I need a new car. I have zero interest in a non manual transmission car (which is why the Corvette is no longer an option). I don't want something made by the Germans since they are not that reliable, are difficult to do basic maintenance on yourself, and cost a fortune to maintain. I don't want a car with a massive gaping front grill, which eliminates tons of cars. I think the S650 is crap compared to the Mach 1. The back and sides are OK, but not as nice as the S550. The front looks like crap in my opinion with all the blacked out plastic. I think the gargantuan screen sticking out of the dash on the interior looks stupid. I don't think I could want an S650.

To those with a Mach 1, congratulations. I think it is probably the best Mustang ever. The GT350 had too many engine issues. The GT500 has the look of a giant gaping blacked out hole in the front. The GT doesn't look quite as good and doesn't have near as good of a manual transmission. The Mach 1 is great. Sad it is going away. I wish the S550 had remained more years.
