I contract hire mine and several other vehicles through my business and my broker told me they are expecting pretty good residuals on the Mustang that could make it an attractive contract hire proposition.I would be planning on purchasing the car with a PCP type of deal. or Ford Options, I think it's called in this case.
How reasonable do you think this type of finance will turn out in this case?
What I mean is... spending £34k on a Ford would usually result in quite high monthly payments as the final payment (GMFV) would be quite low. This can make it more expensive to buy a Ford S-Max than an Audi Q5.
I would hope the Mustang does retain decent residuals though, so it might work out ok in the long run.
Good, that's what I am hoping for.I contract hire mine and several other vehicles through my business and my broker told me they are expecting pretty good residuals on the Mustang that could make it an attractive contract hire proposition.

Some translations of stuff not mentioned earlier...
420 HP on the V8
320 HP on the ecoboost !
The transparent clear taillights become red when driving to copy the US look
Starting price : 35.000 EUR !!
The €35k number may vary wildly depending on where you live in Europe, as that price does probably not include any Emission taxes and/or VAT.Okay so apparently the mustang will be on sale in Europe from €35000 = £27545 which is slightly less than what I've predicted but not far off!!
Let's hope the base GT PP is under £33000!!k
Do we know if the Premium verison will be available in the EU, or are all the european EcoBoosts Premium to begin with?The start price in Germany for the EB PP is expected to ~ 35k€ with VAT.
I would be rather surprised if they would offer the same wide selection of option packages like they do in the US. Volumes are simply too small to effectively keep stock.Do we know if the Premium verison will be available in the EU, or are all the european EcoBoosts Premium to begin with?
I think they wil make a mix of the most common stuff we Europeans expect to be in a car. ACC is almost standard in any car here in that price class, so I expect it to be on there. Maybe even Front Windshield heating etc. as well.I just hope they include ACC in the standard package. I cannot do without that.
I don't think we will only have one set wheels to choose from, especially if the EU Ford Mustang mini-site lets you customise it with different sets. I also doubt ACC will be standard.I would be rather surprised if they would offer the same wide selection of option packages like they do in the US.

My guess is both the EB and the GT will all come standard with Premium Pack, Performance Pack, navigation and only one style of wheel. Only options are probably Recaro and Automatic.

ACC is hardly standard in cars here. In fact, I'm annoyed that more cars don't have it, especially the likes of the 3/5 series. Having been looking at nearly new BMW 3/5 series lately, none had ACC which is a shame. As such, I don't think it will be standard in the Mustang given it's an option not everyone wants so they'll have it only as an option to keep prices down.I saw at least one newspaper mentioning a starting price of €50k in the Netherlands for the EB. (It does include the PP standard)
