Guys beware!
Did a meerkat quote for my GT two days ago (still under ford's free insurance) and got quoted £305 (privilege) which I was pretty happy with.
Refreshed the quote today and it went to £440 (privilege).
Went to money saving supermarket and got a quote of £240 using the exact same...
Having bought one the cars on the list and taking delivery just after the price increase, I can say that I didn't pay the +£500 price last week, but the earlier price. So hopefully you guys who have orders at the even lower "gate" price can pick up a car quickly at the reduced price, am sure if...
Drive sensibly and all will be fine guys
My GT500 loved going sideways, I hated it and was the reason I got rid of it in the end :( Never meet your hero's they say!
These S550's are so stable in comparison its unreal.
Being in the UK its a bit more difficult to get into mustang ownership
but I have owned 3
Blue '06 S197 V6 with pony pack
White '07 S197 GT500 with appearance package
Red '15 GT with custom pack
Got to say this car handles much better than the S197's I had in the wet.
At least you can feel this start to go and back off the throttle or get ready to catch it if needs be.
Havent tried to hoof it yet but am quite happy with the handling so far, hopefully once my tyres bed in some there...
So first mod will be stripes, had them on my S197's and its a mustang so needs stripes!
My RaceRed has the custom pack so has the nickel silver wheels, so the stripes will have to be silver or white!
am pondering the super snake stripes (thick stripe with pin-stripe either side of it)
or...
The parts needed are literally foil tape and a couple of cable ties, but make sure you get it done as imagine the heartache you will end up having if it does cause damage :(
Touch your passengers leg. Look over and wink at them and tell them it's a mustang and you are checking they haven't passed out by being seated in such a glorious steed! Or if it's your mother in law just say sorry and blush!
Was told a demo car that is registered cannot be sold on for 4 months due to tax reasons. Dunno how true it is but that was the worry when I was getting the details on mine.
No paid the gate price just like anyone
Only problem I had was a crap part ex on my rs5 which was disappointing but not unexpected. But I had to move fast so Jo chance to sell it privately etc.
I know I kinda feel a bit guilty for all the guys who have been waiting months/years and I only think I was allowed was due to my past mustangs, I dunno.... maybe I just got lucky with the spec/time of year?
I am happy to let anyone with an order waiting to be delivered have a good look round...
