Was This a Good Price/Value Move

[smithwn]

Ordered a 26 GT Premium last month and am paying 4% below dealer invoice (dealer cost before holdbacks, marketing give backs, etc..). The MSRP was $68,865 and I'm getting it for $61,152. I plan to add the fp800s package which has an installed cost of $21,380 so the final/total car cost is $82,532.

Would it have been better to just order a Dark Horse SC? Are there differences in the DH that are going to make me wish I'd gone ahead and bit the bullet for the higher cost car? I really didn't even research this option but now I'm having second thoughts.

Thanks for the feedback.

That's a good discount for a special order. Usually see that kind of discount on lot cars. Of course, some will jump in here with swagger saying they got $10k off. Despite the math errors some make, I think you're doing well with that deal.

The SC would've been much more $. If you're adding the fp800s package then maybe just find a darkhorse because that would be almost the same. I think your wanting something like the darkhorse anyway hence adding the package to a GT.

You better take a long hard look at your $80K investment in a GT Mustang! I hope you have deep pockets to take a giant loss if you want to sell it in a couple of years. To any dealer, it's just a GT. Add a Super Charger and that lowers the price of the car.
You are throwing good money at a bad idea.

Thank you. I thought the DH SC in premium trim and optioned out as mine is was over $100k MSRP. Am I missing something?

Also yes I agree a bit with above^ armyGT.

Yes a darkhorse SC is way over 100k brand new. Are you referring to the new darkhorse SC or a darkhorse there is a difference. One has a different motor. 5.0 or 5.2 predator motor.

Thank you.
I have no intentions of ever selling it. I'm retired and this is just a fair weather car for my wife (and me occasionally) to take out and enjoy.
I've owned AMG cars so I understand what depreciation is all about unfortunately!

Yes, a dark horse with a supercharge (of which i'm a big fan of as i had one in a MB AMG car)

Well do you mean a darkhorse and then buy the supercharger to add on? Because the darkhorse SC comes with the supercharger. Big difference between the 2. Which car are you interested in? I think your not understanding between the 2. You can buy a darkhorse and then buy a supercharger to install it.
