Yea, I'd guess it's more the 600a and the A10 as opposed to the color. But then again I ordered a yellow car, so my opinion is suspect. For a $3k price differential for similarly equipped vehicles you can bet I would be all over a TO car.

IMO the only reason you buy the 600a non-recaro seats is you are intending to rip them out and replace them with racing seats or your own leather upholstery. Nobody wants a $55k+ car with cheap feeling seats.
...as I stated, if the Mach had been available in Grabber Blue, I'd own one.
I tried in 1970 to get my dad to get me the '70 GB Mach 1 @ the dealer.
I got a Yellow '71 Maverick Grabber instead.

In my avatar, I bought the Grabber Blue GT in '17.
(small consolation)

I had 3 used cars and two had major problems in last 3 years, piston burnt, bad design of piston O-rings and eating too much oil, both required engine repairs, burnt-out mechatronics in DSG transmission... I swore to buy only new cars from now on with long warranty and replace the daily car still in warranty (keeping Mustang forever ofc), huge advantage of being the first owner and knowing the maintenance is done properly and long warranty covers peace of mind.


And considering the price of BMW M4 or Porsche 911, I get here the same performance with lot more fun for lot less money. There is something about buying the best model there is (not considering GT350/GT500 that aren't sold here) with best options. If you do that with BMW M4 with M X-drive and all the paid options that Mustang has standard and carbon ceramics, HUD, laser lights which really tempt the person, you'll get a price twice higher for which I could get two Mach 1's. Or more in case of 911. Questionable looks with BMW and super expensive maintenance with Porsche, worse engine and exhaust sound with both... How could Mach 1 be a rip-off even considering our 40% than USA higher prices? Guys be glad you can even buy it 😁
you are starting to sound like the Miata, Tesla and apple boys :D, sorry had to

I am one who does not know, understand, or appreciate the value of the factory warranty. I have owned 37 cars in my lifetime, and of those, 12 were brand new cars. The only thing I have ever had replaced under warranty was an AC compressor on a Hyundai Equus. I don't even take my vehicles to the dealer for the complimentary oil changes. I have a lift in my garage and do all my own maintenance. Some people really don't need a warranty.

Looks like you didn't have a GT350 with a Voodoo failure :giggle:
No need for Voodoo had to replace my Coyote after 9000km :D and then the intake manifold a couple of weeks after that....

Don't know what inspired me to do this but this morning I looked at prices for a similarly equipped Silverado, having bought my 2015 six years ago this month. My truck stickered for $54K and I paid $42K... today it stickers for $65K (which is about in line with inflation) but like Mustangs is selling for over sticker. Mind blowing. Makes my Mach 1 feel like a bargain at $60.3K sticker / $55K sell!

I mean for my savings it suuuuuuccckkkks, but since I'm just starting out in my career with a new house on a 3% loan and the Mach 1 on a 0% loan....of course that all assumes my salary will actually be raised to match inflation, which who knows.

The OP is trolling, a fool or has sour grapes... Anything is worth what the buyer is willing to pay. Not going to get into the pro/cons of a Mach1 and to be honest it does not matter. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and value is what a buyer is willing to spend.
