IIRC, when I did the math it was $100/mth more taking rebates and going conventional finance through bank or Credit Union versus 0% special finance w/Ford Credit.
Congratulations. Where did you find it? I assume the dealer traded to get it?
I ask because I went to Cleveland to find mine as I searched dealer inventories. Even having access to FMC dealer doesn't guarantee you can locate a certain set of parameters as dealers can "hide" inventory.
You are somewhat correct, but not if you look at the overall picture. If you figure out what interest costs are in both scenarios you might finally be picking up what I'm putting down.
Maybe some people care and are smart enough to know how to manage their money and still finance it for 84 months because it's free money! Or they already know that you're under water on a 5 year note for the first 3 to 3 1/2 years.
Nice! I bought the twin to it last week. Well, I didn't sign the paperwork yet and the incentives are different than they were. 0% for 87 months. Lowered the payment $15/mth despite losing $500 in D plan customer cash.
I picked up my 19 GT A10 PP1 w/Magneride last Monday(with 12 miles on the odometer)at 6pm and as of noon today, I'm at 1000 miles. :like:
I didn't drive it Wednesday or Thursday either. :flag:
I've been looking to purchase a Mustang since 2006, but it was never in the cards until the 0% for 84 months was offered.
It's not that I can't afford a shorter term, but more about keeping my money working for me. I get D-plan pricing plus there's an additional bonus $500 available.

Based on @turbojay 's explanation of his experience at the Elgin dealership, I went a different route and picked up a Kona Blue PP1 with Magneride from a dealer near Cleveland.
I left work before noon yesterday and made it back home at 12:30 am.
Traffic was light since the State of Michigan was...
Bumper covers are painted separate from any other panel already. I don't know of a single insurance company who would pay to blend a hood or fender with Ruby Red.
Insurance companies dictate what the body shops use. There is little leverage for the shop. AAA, Geico, Progressive are the worst in my area. AAA wants recycled parts first and it doesn't matter if your car has 300 miles on it.
I currently don't have a Mustang in the garage as my house won't be finished for a couple more weeks. My "garage queen" is a 2006 King Ranch Crew Cab 6.0 diesel. I've managed to put 20,000 miles on it since purchasing it over 4 and a half years ago.
I drive it when I can. It has 450 hp and over...
Mmmmm no, I don't think so. The only person who would pay more for that option is the person who is looking for it specifically and they are new car buyers like you were. Just because it's a rare option, doesn't make it more valuable. :thumbsup:
I agree with what you're saying in theory, but typically they're two different kinds of car buyers. The depreciation seen will be greater the older the car is, but the one or two "model year" old car won't be vastly less than a new car. The "used car buyer" phenomenon is well known in the...
