I wasn't familiar with the Particulate Filters (PF) referenced earlier. Attached is an article I found helpful on what they are, where installed and their effects. Went through a few EU forums, many enthusiasts attempting work-arounds to recover a more authentic sound...
Early '22, I received an e-mail from Ford that my build was scheduled for production; this afforded me two things:
1. There was a near guarantee from Ford the car would be built
2. A VIN was assigned and listed in that notification
The car was later built in May.
If it helps towards lining...
Being a new mark, I foresee some delays. New and old parts. New engine. New fitment. While not as severe, continuing supply chain issues. I would definitely anticipate waiting, but how much, whose to say. Some advantages though. The S650 is just starting, so even if things go absolutely...
In MY22, there were no production limits of any kind (My comments are not considering the GT500). There were delays, due to lack of parts, but no "1 of x" builds. I have not read anything of limits in MY23 and have not read/heard anything related to limits for MY24...
From the dealer perspective, it's straightforward. Once Ford opens the order banks, it's like visiting any other web site to buy something. Ford's pricing (dealer and customer), model, options, etc., are all there. The salesperson clicks-off what is being asked for, takes your personal...
Age, driving record, credit rating, if rolling into an existing insurer, zip code, if financing or not, if parked in a garage, are just some of the factors.
In the 6G forum, someone started a thread like this for Mach 1s. People were averaging "around" 1000-1200 a year for full coverage...
Welcome to the forums. :clap:
Inputting the order itself is a straightforward process which takes little time. Once the Order Guide is published, all the options and their codes will be available. Using the Web Order Entry system, the dealer can place an order; the salesperson will then have...

This article came out today on that very topic.
I've read of the credits on occasion. I'm left with the impression that, qualifying for and receiving the maximum credit allowed is not as...
It will vary by location. The final price can often be steeper than anticipated.
Base Price (MSRP. But with dealer, economy and negotiations, this can vary, +/- .)
Options
Gas Guzzler Tax (listed under "Options")
Destination/Delivery
Administrative Fees (varies by dealer)
Sales Tax (varies by...
IMO, Tesla's discounts (and the others which followed suite) are something of a one-off or unique.
Times past, Tesla had the EV market to themselves; now, ever major manufacturer is producing them. Tesla's, while well-received, are getting rarer and more expensive; people were buying and...

I'm not familiar with what all manufacturers are experimenting with the concept of features by subscription.
I think the concept is cheap.

I don't think it matters what the product is. This topic is akin to securing a domain name. There's the one name or term which we know, and countless variations other people or companies use.
Ford applied for the term "Mustang Dark Horse", which is more specific than "Dark Horse". Note the...
I'm reading on-line that Ford has trademarked the "Dark Horse" term.

When considering an out-of-state purchase, I e-mailed the CO DMV for insight on any number of topics; they were very helpful, provided me with a guide, forms and contacts.
If you haven't already, chat up you DMV; they might have knowledge which can make the process easier still.
Best Wishes on...
While it is possible that, with a new mark coming, the configurator might be updated. But based on past performance (last three years at least), I doubt it.
Ford's configurator for the MY24 Mustang will most likely be late, with inconsistencies and errors. Ford doesn't allocate proper resources...

I was taken aback by the idea of a $1000+ car payment.

Custom colors are not an option. Ford produces up to 1,000+ Mustangs a day. Keeping the system running as quickly and smoothly as possible...
The economy in general and the used car market in particular.
If there is a weak economy or recession in 2023, the used car market could offer compelling buys, affording a great performance experience for the price.
Along with Credit Unions, I'd also check with your current bank and insurance company. As an existing customer, they might offer rates or terms which are favorable.
