Should I buy a 2022 Mustang Convertible?

[Doylum]

Well... I had an estimated build date of May 11th. I contacted the dealer yesterday for an update. No movement on car build progress. They mentioned it could be many months before I see the car. I must admit it makes me wonder if I should wait for the new model... Thoughts?

Anyway, with that in mind I'm thinking of buying a 2 seater convertible to play with while I wait. Something about 4 to 12 years old around 10 to 18k GBP. Suggestions?

Cheers,
Doylum

Honda S2000 or Mazda MX-5. Both are as much fun as it gets. The danger with one of those is that you may find it even more fun, and love it even more, than the upcoming Mustang.

SSR. Might be a collectors piece at some point.

I didn't know what that was; I had to look it up. Big mistake. Now I can't unsee it.
It's a good thing they never sold it here. I could have a heart attack if I saw it in the rear view mirror, especially at night.

Woo hoo. After a gentle nudge to the dealer for an update I now have a VIN, Build Date of 15th August, and Delivery Date estimate of 8th October.

Excited!!!

I’m supposed to be picking mine up tomorrow but I’m horrified to see this, it doesn’t look finished to me, no one in the dealership seems to know anything about it and there’s nothing in the car, is this how it’s supposed to look?

Have you also ordered a California Special?

Looks to me like the aerial has been removed for transit. It should be somewhere inside the car. try glovebox, under the boot floor, even rolled under the seat.

OMG!!! Quick...run away!!!




Actually...it's not as bad as it looks. The dealer did not screw on the flexible, 13" foot antenna yet.

Have them look around the trunk, spare tire well, under the seats, etc. for a 13" foot black antenna.

If someone swiped it...it can be reordered by the dealer and screwed on in seconds.

Congrats on the vert!!

No it’s a GT automatic convertible in Eruption Green.

Thanks, the dealer has ordered one, but I had to pressure them.

Marvellous. Good choice.. Hope it all gets sorted soon.

Latest update....

Just got an email from my dealer. Car was built on August 24th and is off the assembly line but not on a ship yet. ETA 5th November....

It'll be so nice to get my Cyber Yellow Convertible just in time for the long, dark, cold winter.... Jeez.
