the mustang 4 cylinder ecoboost motor is totally different to the aussie one not really comparing apples for apples
aussie      2.0 lt       240 hp
mustang  2.3 lt       310 hp with the same amount of torque

I was just advised by Ford today, that all dealers have been allocated cars for orders placed up to end of March 2015" the dealers are now working to allocate them against each of the orders, was told I should have a delivery date by end of this week, so it's a wait and see moment.

[mwizz]

Yes it depends on what number order you have with your dealer. Mine is number 41 of 60 orders that were taken by my dealer before end of March and my latest date of arrival is supposed to be May but that could change.

Very exciting day today!!!!


After my birthday a few weeks ago, I found myself with a bit of extra cash and decided to buy myself a nice new toy.... Unfortunately, that's all they are.. But still! I can now say I own a 2015 Mustang 5.0 and a 1970 Boss 429!
The 2015 5.0 is 1:18th scale, the Boss is 1:24 scale... Both should go nicely with my collection of toy / model Mustangs... Which already includes a 1967 GT Fastback, and a model "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, as well as about half a dozen Hot Wheels Shelbys... One day I will have a real one!

... Unfortunately they didn't have a 1967 Coupe in midnight blue, if they did I would have got that too, the closest they had was a Shelby tribute coupe.

Hi Everbody

Just wondering if anyone has ordered a Convertible 2015/2016 Mustang, and what sort of deal you have crunched.

As i am looking at buying one for my wife 

[RuffCoupe]

I've ordered an eco boost soft top for the boss - not much crunching going on just yet.
We are going to sell her current car before picking up the new one so we don't get low balled on the trade in.
Don't think the dealers are discounting too much as there is a queue of willing buyers.
It's about 56,500 on the road I think - V8 about 10k more.

Cheers

The GT is quoted at just a touch over 60K OTR. That's in Victoria. You can get a "build price" from the Ford Australia site. The biggest variation that I have noticed is dealer delivery charges. These seem to vary from just under $1000 through to an outrageous $3995. That allows a bit of bargaining depending on what the dealer hits you up for.

I agree. Check the dealer delivery prices with the dealers around your area and go with the best price or ask another dealer to match it. A friend of mine did it that way with a dealer he likes to use.

[Salthorse]

Just saw my first '15 Mustang . . . . In Bruges (Belgium). It is on display at the local Ford dealership and has been in the country for around two weeks. Preorders are expected to arrive from December. Not sure what the asking price is but it ought not be too high, especially given the competition here . . . M5, Boxter, etc; which cost much less than what we would pay at home.

Before I canged my order from a turbo 4 soft top to a v8 fastback the convertible was going to cost me $58580 the gt fast back now is 60k few grand more. And the delivery charges changed went up another $500 don't know why

[mwizz]

A dealer told me that the delivery charges were most of their profit. Not sure how accurate that is but can go some way in explaining the rise in charge for a V8.

[Equip 2000]

Thanks guys for the input, will start contacting some dealers & see what deal i can negotiate, ( how far i can twist their arm )

Take the Ford website quotation, the dealer is supposed to match that... mine did! 

[gbader]

Anyone get one of these today (email from ford)

Mine is a specified "Feb16" build and estimated delivery is Apr/May (which I am happy with)

I am hoping the "Sync2" comment is just part of their standard email and not reflecting reality

cheers

greg

[russ68]

I also received the email, but with no build date or estimated delivery. Was that specified in the email or previous correspondence?

I specified build date in the contract - dealer told me the delivery estimate in an email (with all the normal "best efforts" blah blah)

[Salthorse]

I received the same email in late July. No build date was mentioned, just a note that I would be told when the build started.

[mwizz]

I also got one today

[shelby_mustro]

I got mine today too with a build code number with a delivery date. Only prob for me on that congrats email it was for the wrong car

So you're getting a Ford Focus instead?

[shelby_mustro]

Haha hopefully not unless it's free I won't be taking it. Ended up ringing the dealer he said he would have to email ford and it could take up to 2 weeks to fix my order.
