Yes, I know this is only my second post, but I've been lurking a bit. I test drove a 2018 GT six-speed a few weeks ago and liked it, so the negotiation process started. First off, the car is advertised for (I don't remember exact numbers, so these are just for example) MSRP of $38,000 and selling for $31,479. No fine print or asterisk on the web page, either in a browser or on the phone, but once you go in to buy it, you find out that you have to be a first responder, active military, recent college grad, trade-in a 2008 or newer car and must finance through Ford and be no taller than 5'3". OK, I made up that last part. So the real price is... well, who knows? They start playing their games, and there are so many incentives out there right now, and you can't tell which ones can be combined and which can't (I get different answers from different dealers) that it's impossible to know how much you're getting screwed. Because, let's face it, we're all getting screwed, we just don't know to what degree. And of course, it doesn't matter what price you end up at, they start crying "oh, we're not making anything on this deal!"
And yes, I'm well aware that as a frequent BMW buyer I have gotten screwed much, much more, but the buying process with European cars is typically a lot simpler, as they just tend to have fewer incentives and they always kiss you afterwards...
So, right now, I'm not buying a Mustang because I'm just so annoyed with the process.
