Test Drive woes......

[pistonbroke 66]

Very much as the title. North west england (Preston area) and having no luck whatsoever in locating a MY18 for a test drive. Just wondered if anyone in my neck of the woods knew of anywhere where there is is a demonstrator available as the 3 dealers nearest to me have all drawn a blank.

Can your local dealers not get one in from elsewhere, it's in their interest if they want the sale ?

Mine did a swap when theirs was an auto and I wanted to test drive the manual.

That’s what they’re trying to do but according to them there isn’t one available this side of Watford at the moment!:headbonk:

To be honest just a recommendation for a half decent ford dealer in my area would be something!

There's a couple on the forecourt at Stoneacre Doncaster where they demoed the new dash to me and I think Stoneacre York has one

Dealers aren’t putting new ones on as demo’s yet as they still need to get rid of 2017 stock.

Have you tried People's Ford in Liverpool? I know they've already had a few 2018s through there, but as Adam says, haven't heard of anyone giving out test drives while there are still 2017s to shift.

I can definitely recommend them as a dealer based on my experience so far though, just make sure you speak to Quentin Collins for all things Mustang. Let me know if you want his details.

My dealer today (went in) offered me a drive in their 2018, that said, she did follow with "we don't offer that for everyone though".

They had TWO and only my18's in there, one customer pickup (#88 pickup), and one in the showroom.
Showroom was next to a My17 race red GT.

Honestly, its a car you have to see in the flesh, I'm convinced on my initial perceptions, I think it's a very very well put together car, it looks really nice, HOWEVER I don't think it screams "mustang". The back end does look a bit strange without a spoiler on as the whole backend has an "upward" arch and would definitely suit a spoiler of some sort to round it off.
Rear lights are gorgeous.
Top grille looks awesome, but bottom grille needs to be gloss black too
forged wheels style is nice, but, they look silly in silver on OF.
The centre tunnel retrimmed is lovely.
Wheel looks a lot bulkier
lights I really don't like the gap under them, not sure what about it, it's weird
Vents really suit it
It sits lower that's for sure, as you look down on the vents, they're pretty mean
It's sleeker that's for sure, take that as you will.
Orange fury is a nice colour; It suits itself more under bright light as it pops like CRAZY, under the canpoe outside, it was a bit dull and lacking life (car had rain waterspots all over it as well so that could have been it).
The two punters in the showroom (I was there at 9am) both preferred the My17 than the My18 in orange.

Overall, it's nice, it's more "sports car" now than it is a big bulky muscle car.

I've sent you a PM.

Let me know if you want me to speak to him first though. I've spent £45k with him and it helps grease the wheels.

As Manders says, it's not what you know...........
