I was told Oct/Nov for mine but I think that is unlikely

Not happy Henry!

Ordered my new Mustang in March with expected delivery in Nov or Dec. I was kind of ok with the 9 mth wait (worth waiting for!!!).

Letter arrived today saying "the Ford Motor Company expects that all eligible priority orders will be fulfilled from November 2015 through to the second quarter 2016"

2nd 1/4 2016 could be June!!! Not a bad estimate 9mths + or - 50%

So, this is a business that is shutting down local manufacturing to focus on importing. Well, it looks like they know how to do that well.

The delay raises some interesting questions. Will any technical specifications change? I have read that Ford will release in the USA summer an updated "Connect" system (radio, Sat Nav and lots of toys that link to the web via your phone - and the focus of the article is that Ford are not aligning themselves with Apple or Adroid devices - can use any phone... this is so that you don't make a $40k car purchase decision based on a $200 phone in your pocket). So, do we get the new kit?

If I was Ford Aust. I would be worried from a business risk viewpoint about the exchange rate movement over the long wait. If the Aussie dollars falls as far as expected, how do you deliver the product for the prices that have been locked in with customers? What specs do they quietly reduce? At what point do they call the whole project off?

I am a sad and worried little pony tonight.

Regards pricing, I notice that the prices being asked for newish second hand mustangs are still right up there. Hard to believe anyone is going to spend north of 80k for a three or four year old car.

SKev there was a red one on there originaly the guy wanted 60+ now has droped right down to 30k for a 07 model. They will fall.

ausmustang · « **Reply #30 on:** May 09, 2015, 07:45:57 pm »

So many lowballers these days..desperate times.

Personally loathe people who offer way below selling or market costs, but thats what society has become accustom to

The new mustang is very well priced for its package. very difficult for 13/14 owners to recover

Yup, saw that one...
Been thinking for a while that something like that (or a newer one) would make quite a nice daily drive in a few years.

The V6s / 5.0 GTs that are here already won't stay up above the cost of the '15 models..
Although they probably won't come toppling down straight away because of the limited numbers of new cars coming across from the US..

Hey Ryan which 07 are you talking about ? The one in NT ? If its that one that's all it's worth if that , its still LHD .

shelby_mustro · « **Reply #33 on:** May 10, 2015, 05:16:02 am »

Still don't know how he got rego with that car here. I wonder about the next person if u have to convert it or not....

skev · « **Reply #34 on:** May 10, 2015, 09:05:39 am »

Regards lowball offers, if a new one is 60k, what is regarded as a lowball offer for a four years old one? The one in Darwin could be a US military import.

Hi all.
Im new so see how this goes. I have had a 69 Fastback years ago, and now have some old 70s 2door falcons. But last week just ordered my new 2015 or more like 2016 Mustang.
The Ford Dealer said some thing about late order that had to be done by Wednesday last week and should have car by first quarter next year.
Does any body really know?? Whats your thoughts out there? Cheers.

I love the recessed hood scoop indicators on my '68 coupe, not sure I like the 2016 version though.

Interesting read Andrew. I note that the article refers to the '16 Mustang hitting dealer lots in the third quarter of '15. This suggests that all of us who have ordered our Ponies already, will receive the latest model, even if the Cal Specs aren't on the list. Here's hoping.

noblg · « **Reply #43 on:** May 13, 2015, 04:38:30 pm »

I had to get three quotes for my lease plan. All three dealers suggested back end of the first quater. Possibly even June...this is for the 2016 spec Mustang....

I popped into my Ford dealer to see if they had a confirmed supply date, I was told two things -

1. That Ford will be doing a reveal night at some dealerships, and everyone who has one on order, will be personally invited to come have a look at a car, sit in it, start it, BUT.... Not drive it.

2. All the orders that were placed by end of March have been confirmed as being supplied, starting to arrive October, with all ordered cars supplied by end of Jan 2016.

mwizz · « **Reply #45 on:** May 16, 2015, 07:08:05 pm »

Sounds promising Keith, thanks for letting us know
