There are only 2 cars in contention for me. Mustang DH and BMW M2 that are in the same performance, handling, price range. As a past C7 Z51 owner, what Chevy has done with the Corvette pricing is sickening. (and so is how Chevy let the Camaro become stale and soon die)Exactly, find another new good looking, fun to drive, modern rwd v8 powered sports car with almost 500 hp that's destined to have a ton of aftermarket support for this price. Then we'll compare. The challenger and camaro essentially don't exist anymore, not in their current form. Aside from the mustang, I don't know of a single car like this that will be on sale a year from now. The corvette maybe, good luck finding one for under 70 grand.
Yeah those rates are gonna be tough. I went and looked at a bronco for my wife yesterday, found one she wanted with a $2500 ADM. they agreed to give more for her trade because of the ADM and tax savings.they started to run the numbers, mind you my wife and I have mid 700 scores with 4 auto loans paid off and no debt other than my vehicle and our house. The rate came out to 9% over 72 months, 60 months was 7.9% which is still insane.Numbers are fine IMO, the interest rates if you can't pay cash on the other hand...with probably 2 to 3 more hikes coming before these cars get delivered.
Im nervous about people taking away dealer allocations that aren't even going to be able to afford the car by the time it gets to them.
3/27I think the prices are pretty much where we all expected them to be. Any updates on when the order banks open?
That is correct. The 2024 EcoBoost includes the 10 speed auto (no manual available). The auto was a $1595 option on the 2023.Did you guys factor in the price of the A10 in the 2023 EcoBoost prices? Because the 2024 EB comes standard with the A10.
The timing
This is something I'm continuing to consider. The timing is bad for me though I have means the buy it. Our first kid is expected in June and I was hoping to seal a DH away come July, even with another rate hike or two. I have enough cash for a decent down payment but won't pretend like I can pay the whole thing. So even with an excellent credit score I'll be subject to whatever rate hikes may come. Guess I'll try to refinance out after a year or so but if I don't commit to the car depending on rates when it arrives, that's an allocation the dealer might go crazy with ADM on and make another enthusiast suffer for.
I don't feel so bad about the 5% interest rate I got for my Maverick last year now.Yeah those rates are gonna be tough.

Yeah, on my Lexus I got a 4.7% last may.I don't feel so bad about the 5% interest rate I got for my Maverick last year now.
2023: You can no longer buy a GT for under $40kIt's the end of an era. That is more than a 10% increase in the base price of a GT... You can no longer get a new V8 for under $40K anywhere in the world I'm aware of. I'm sure it'll come packed with a lot of features and performance, but still. Quite a bump.
and the insurance that goes with it, goes up as well.Everything is relative to the market and for 43k a almost 500HP V8 is a hell of a deal.
