Today on FOX News they said that the average cost of a new car is a bit over $50K vs. the average used car is a bit over $26K. That tells me that most people in the car market can't afford more than $26K. The dealer needs to devalue your almost new trade in to get to the correct price point...

A Dark Horse will never be a Barn Find. FORD tends to quit making parts for cars after 10 years. After market might save you, but I doubt it. So, buying these cars with the hope of having it 20 years from now is questionable. Enjoy the car today, lose the money today, and hold them or fold...

Give up a bit of freedom for a bit of safety...soon you will have neither... IMHO

Honestly, unless you are in love with the Dark Horse name, a GT will serve you well. Get the GT with a 6 speed, better gears in the rear, active exhaust, BREMBO brakes, premium trim to be comfortable. B and O Stereo if you are a music guy. Upgrade the wheels. Or get a GT with the Performance...

Agree on KBB not close in most cases. Dealers in my area go by auction prices. Your trade is the current auction price, and the retail is $5k-$10K over. If the car/truck has a door ding that's a $1000 less. It's the old...how much would you like to pay per month deal? 84 months...no problem. An...

A Mazda dealer just listed a 700A USED 2025 Dark Horse with 8.8K miles on it for $59,995. Another Ford dealer has a new Dark Horse listed MSRP $68,070, sale price $64,923...

Sadly, the Dark Horse is a decent car but not something that's in high demand. Although dealers put an additional markup on the MSRP, NOT MANY GOT IT. I watched a Dark Horse at one of Pittsburgh's largest Ford dealer's lot. It sat there long enough for the ADM sticker asking $10K over MSRP fade...

A good dealer friend of mine tells me that his dealership relies heavily on auction prices. When they take in a used car, they never give more than what the auction pays. That way if they need cash flow, they can clear out slow sellers and not lose money.

You better keep and enjoy your Mustang since they are a bad investment. The current car market is slow and since the S650 was introduced, they are not flying off the new car lots. Dealers need to price used vehicles so that they can sell them especially during the winter months. As always, it's...

Is this it? On Shelby website! Starts at $175K! Shelby American Inc. > 2026 Shelby Super Snake

The grilles on the last whole generation of Shelby GT500's were absolutely beautiful! The grille in the new SC looks like something that they adopted from a Checker Cab! I'm sorry, it just doesn't get it for me. If I'm going to pay $100K for a car it better make a statement. Sorry, this one...

Most of the people I know fall into the middle to upper middle class. When the Shelby GT500 came out in 2007 they were around $47K. My friends bought them. Things have changed that have added so many additional costs of daily living. The fun money has been taken away by inflation. Wages haven't...

I hear you on Shelby. I owned two GT500's, a 2008, and a 2010. I knew I was buying a car engineered by Ford and named after a legend. The cars just had street appeal and an exciting name to most. I have no problem retiring Shelby. I do have an issue with the Dark Horse name. What happened to SVT...

Wow!! I could spend big dollars on this car and then have someone ask me at a car cruise if this is a Special Edition ECO BOOST S650. There was no doubt that a Shelby was a Shelby and didn't look like a base GT package or added bling from American Muscle. One man's trash is another man's...

Where's my BULLITT?

Honestly, you are wasting your money in two ways. First 700 hp is just a bragging right. In most cases the investment will not put a $10K smile on your face only a hole in your wallet. Secondly, after you put this enhancement on the car you have killed your resale value. I wouldn't buy the car...

Not only FORD but all the car makers with the help of the government have made cars more complicated. Therefore, there are many more items that need attention or are just waiting to go bad. I have a good friend who bought a new MACH 1 a couple of years ago. It has a bit over 1000 miles on it...

I think we need $10K more in gimmicks and screens added to the Mustang. LOL!

My 2020 had the MT82, no problems, shifted as well as the TREMEC in my 2010 GT500. My 2024 GT has the A-10 Auto, great transmission. Give me a Dark Highland Green with a few Bullitt emblems and I would be happy!

Agree! You can't have a yearly BULLITT. However, there's still a following of the BULLITT on Facebook and IMBOC, International Bullitt Owners Club. I'm sure those people would like to see a new BULLITT. They dropped the California Special that had very little historical significance, replace...
