2005 Mustang GT prices

Wow am I bummed out. Went to the local dealer and they want $32K for a
standard deluxe GT. Their $5K mark up includes custom wheels and a window
tint package and they are not dealing. I didn't even look at the prices on the
Roush mustangs. But the funny thing was it looked like the dealer put the
standard factory wheels on the Roush mustangs and the Roush wheels on the
standard mustang so they could charge another $5k on the factory car. Guess
I'll get a Volvo S40 T5 for a lot less, but I really wanted another Mustang
GT - just not with a $5K ADM.

If you really want a new Mustang GT just go to another dealer. Once you have
your new Mustang drive it over to the first dealer and make it known that
they lost a sale beacuse of a BS mark-up.

So you are one of the suckers who fell for Volvo's silly "appeal to
the youth with another one of our boring cars" ads?????

?? I have owned a number of Mustangs and Volvos over the years, I don't think
any ad will make a difference one way or another. Guess the two other Ford
dealers I have been to since yesterday have really ****ed me off, because they
are all playing the same games with the GT in my neck of the woods, LOL I can
not wait for a new car until spring as mine is DOA and the Volvo dealer is
willing to discount a loaded S40 T5 over $ 5K less than the marked up GT. So
if I can't find a deal on a GT this week, the S40 T5 is the second choice for
me. Lots of safety features, good warranty, 0-60 in 6.1 and 149mph top end,
21 city, 30 hyw - certainly not a GT by any stretch but it flys under the
insurance radar. Sorry for the rant, I just wanted a GT but I'm tired of
playing games with the dealers.

Try finding a good deal on the internet. There are hundreds of Ford
dealers you can haggle with going that route.

Have you considered a Pontiac GTO (aka Holden Monaro) ?? They are going for
under 25K now.You can haggle like crazy for these. Or you can wait and pay
the 30K for a 2005 GTO which will have the 400HP LS2. You get IRS and much
better refinement than Mustang.

Was $3K mark up at one local dealer for GTs on the lot, and $1500 mark up at
a second dealer. Most dealers are have plenty of V6 models with no mark up,
and according to the Mustang forums, already being discounted...

However, the dealer marking up the GT for $3K is willing to accept MSRP or
lower on an order for a new GT. So I am off tomorrow to see if I can work
out a deal with him and order a Premium GT. Hopefully can have it by the
Spring! It's going to be one long-ass winter.

95 GT (for only a little while more)

was looking at the December production figures in Automotive News.....NO
Crown Vics, Marquis, Town Cars, LSs made....a lot of 500s....a trickle
of Taurus and about 3000 a week Mustangs.

You'd think a Ford dealer would be happy to make a sale - especially
when a lot of Mustang sales could be conquests.

There was another make that had dealers who preferred to sell fewer cars
with bigger mark-ups than go for volume.....Studebaker.

Well, that's cool... looks like you just flunked the "smart and enthusiastic
enough to own a Mustang" test.

Or you're a troll.
