As a German, reading on German forums and Facebook stuff from Ford Deutschland I can tell you that every single Kraut loves the Mustang and thinks it offers far more for the price than the German competitors.
So far so good...
But actually buying one?
No. The first reason -and it´s a legit...
@Ace: i´m 98% sure now, I will choose the Recaros. First, you lose weight without this seat cooling, heating, electric motors. Second, you get less stuff that can break, Third, they just look awesome and I read about quality issues with the normal leather seats (wearing off quickly)
Glitch in the German configurator. All colours except White are stated as "metallic" and cost at least 700 € extra. That´s not correct. Race Red for example is not metallic.
I really really hope that those spaniards also have to pay some extra fee, tax whatever. 50 k € is really too much for this car, for me, and in the German market.
Spanish price consists of: *P.V.P.: El precio incluye I.V.A, I.M y transporte.
IVA = VAT, but what is I.M?
Edit: Ok, good news for...
Those prices make absolutely no sense (and Spanish car prices are usually cheaper than German ones - before extra taxes).
So instead of 39k it is now 44k which is really heavy, but the absolute BS is the premium pack which went up from 2500 € to 5400 €!
For nearly 50k € they don´t need to...
GT Manual, Premium Seats (what are Premium Seats for crying out loud? The normals seats are leather and look just the same, but Premium Pack only available with Premium Seats), Premium Pack = 49400 €
Shit just hit the fan... I´m out if that´s stays the same in Germany. 7900 € more than in the...
Spanish configurator online and it´s the HORROR!
44000 € base price G
No premium pack available and if you load it full you end up at 49100 €!
I hope German prices are different...That´s 7600 € more than in the original brochure (41500 € incl. Premium Pack)...
I´m looking forward to my first service. :D
Surely I won´t drive 200 km to do this so a local Ford Dealer will have to do.
I literally see it before my eyes...The Werkstattmeister: "Mir mache nur Ford, net so ausländisch Zeugs!" :ford: (We only do Ford, not this foreign stuff!)
Ford answered me on YT:
Ehm...just called my certified Mustang Dealer (Germany). They knew nothing about this video. Told me, there is still no price and there will neither be a customisation available tomorrow nor an order option. All still weeks away and they will get back to me. What´s...
You know what´s the good thing about this "We don´t want to sell any mustangs" attitude?
Those cars will be even more rare/special in Europe just like the Camaro :ford:
Maybe in Australia but in Germany it´s clearly a power loss.
435 US HP (SAE) equal to exactly 441 German PS (DIN)
But the German version only has 418 PS (5 % less)
But US Horsepower is measured with 93 octane fuel (US octane) and German Mustang is measured with 95 Oktan (=91 US octane)
Always great how GB is pretending to be not part of Europe (and EU) :headbonk:
My Dealer told me, the prices from the German brochure are not final anymore because of the sharp € decline. It will be more expensive! And another guy from the German forum motor-talk chatted online with a Ford...
BTW: thanks a lot to the mod that edited my opening post! Much better now! :cheers:
Back to topic: I want the car this summer and I already sold my old car. No way I will wait for NEXT christmas...just dumped this year´s tree, lol.
In that case I will cancel and take a closer look at the new...
