Order a '21 or wait ?

[cactus_kid]

With the '21 MY end so close, I am on the fence. Order now or, wait and deal with any price increase. Not worried about color issues. Looking at a base GT, A10. Simple stripper. Have Zack's peeps throw on a blower. Silent but deadly ! What say the board ?

I'm not understanding what there is to worry about. Just order or buy a car if you've got the financial wherewithal. The longer you wait, the longer you'll wait.

The idea of a base car with a massive power adder is silly. Start with a PP1 car, with a minimum 301A, and I'd suggest Magneride and active exhaust. Then look into subtle suspension mods that settle the car down.

What you're proposing is very dangerous. The Mustang's chassis/suspension needs real help, and just slapping another 200HP is a recipe for disaster.

The s/c is secondary. At this point in time, I simply want to get back into a GT coupe.

Best of luck. You couldn't have picked a worse time to want to do so.

Why is that ? One just has to know where to look.

The dealer I just got my car from, has a few 2020 and "A" 2021 gt on the lot. but they are sticker price + market adjustment of another 3-5k on top of sticker msrp.
Rumor has it, the chip issue isn't going to right itself till summer 2022.
So if you want one, either find one now, on a lot and take a bath on the O.T.D. price, or order now.
I could be wrong but while at dealer it sounded like anything ordered now, will be a 2022 anyways, so why wait?
If you wait till the official start of the 2022 model year, you might be waiting till deep into 2022 calendar year.
Heck, they can't get dealer stock of escapes or exployers till dec of this year. That is a long time for dealers to have no stock coming in. No idea if the sales manager was blowing smoke up my ____, but I wasn't looking at those, so they had no reason too, They are buying stock from other dealers that are hurting and at or near going under from lack of units to sell.

I think the question to ask yourself is do you take advantage of your last opportunity to pick up a S550, or wait for the 1st year production model for the S650

Zack@Granger solved the issue. I am buying the twin to the Mach 1 I bought in April.

Why did you get out of your FJG M1 so quick? Because of the hail damage?

 

[cactus_kid]

Sold it. Offered way more than I paid for it. Zack said do it as he had several more in the pipeline unclaimed.

Stopped by my dealer Friday, because my salesman told me they were going to get a Mach 1 in that week. Their first. The M1 had just come off the trailer, and the salesman let me drive it, knowing that I wasn't going to buy. He wanted me to educate him about the M1.
Of course he had to do the I can make you a deal and here it is. Maybe if they took that $20,000 ADM off the car I'd be tempted, but I couldn't see trading my PP2 in for that much more debt.

Damn, you're getting the one I want.
Are you having to pay an ADM?

If true about locking down the ECM - it was coming, I had said this many times in prior threads. I even posted the SSM's about it. Too many people are messing with the ECM as well as using Forscan to change As Built logic - which is causing issues at Ford Service Centers. Especially when folks modify As Built data and then sell off the car without reverting back to stock As Built data.

It was bound to happen with Manufacturers trying to lock out Customers from modifying ECM or As But data.

I'm sure some "hacks" will figure out how to unlock things soon enough - but be aware that Ford can start charging Customers labor hour rates to reprogram modified ECM's, BCM's and other various modules in order to do their jobs - even if those modules were under warranty.

You have to remember Service Techs go by a script (Ford Shop Manual) and if modules are screwed with, it hampers their jobs. They can't determine what a Customer changed or "tuned" and don't have the time to print As Built data to compare coding or figure out why according to the script (Shop Manual) when things are supposed to be "normal", the fix still isn't working.
