? What does that have to do with the argument at hand? Do you think the consumer cares about the business? They only care about their own money. Look what happened when the JDMs came into America and took over. You think people care about brand loyalty? 99% of people will take the cheaper...

Huh, I don’t think anyone said the price should stay the same lol. We have just been saying it should stay the same with inflation. And if it’s higher, it should have more options or a reason to be higher. Ford literally took away options and made packages more expensive. And you’re sitting...

Finance it after tax and dealership add ons as well as a 7+% finance rate and tell people that is a totally ok thing to do. The dissonance of financial reality between some people has always been crazy to me, but to see it play out in real time has been mind blowing.

This mustang1987 dude is a complete corpo shill. If the Mustang went to 200k he would buy it still. There’s no point in arguing with someone who would defend price increases for no reason simply because it’s the only option.

Ah yes, let’s just laugh over a couple hundred dollars (potentially thousands after markup and dealership shenanigans) because someone pointed out the flaw in your logic. Oh must be nice to be rich and be able to make fun of the poor. I’m sure Ford appreciates your business and will give you...

Dude said that like it was an own

Ok and put that in terms of percentages and compare it to the CPI inflation increase

Another thing people aren’t realizing is if you read the order guide pdf, there’s actually a suggested dealer price from Ford themselves which is substantially higher than the MSRP.

The price increase on this year is more than inflation

It’s been getting suspensions tweaks and small engine tweaks while also getting new colors and options every year. As well as new trims. You can see it on car and driver every single year, like it’s literally right there. If you want another comparison, the Supra gets a price bump every year...

Ironically enough if I was a 2025 waiter and saw the market crash this week, I’d say fuck the Mustang and get stocks at a discount. Who cares about a sports car with this discount in the market

I’ve found ordering through the ford store kind of confusing because the order status will not update correctly. But I did get my items eventually just not sure if they can provide a window or even a shipment email

That’s the problem. No competition = ford can do whatever it wants with pricing. Sure they’re the only game in town with a V8 manual. But are you willing to pay an elevated price for it? That’s entirely up to consumers everywhere and with the price increases that question is something people...

I was gonna say, exactly. And plenty of 911s, BMWs, and AMG cars see the track. Those German cars are really impressive, but some on the forum seem to think Mustangs are the pinnacle of performance and aftermarket modification

That's what everyone has been saying. The Mustang is not a car for value or for the affordable sports car enthusiast anymore. It stopped being that as soon as the Challenger and Camaro died. Without competition, Ford shifted the Mustang from being affordable value to being sports car...

For the price, I can’t imagine there’s a better mod out there for the car. Thanks for the video! Gonna do it this weekend!

Monthly payments are higher now too because of the high interest rates. You’d have to find a really good dealer or credit union or get lucky to get a finance rate below 7%. With those high rates, cash is king, so you’re incentivized to put down a massive down payment or pay cash fully. You’d...

Fair enough, you seem pretty set on your opinion. Agree to disagree; I as well have a DH Premium Blue Ember, but was highly cross shopping the base corvette stingray. I think it just varies from buyer to buyer, but we'll see over time.

I feel like it used to be that way, but with the price increases for the S650 it has shifted to cross shopping the vette or other cars. That was literally me last year, but your practicality reason is why I went with the dark horse, and I’m very glad I did go with it last year before this year...

Doesn’t even matter because the 2024s that do sit on the lot now are gonna get marked up because the 2025 is more expensive. The difference in price over one year is crazy
