Agreed, but there's no use in talking sense around here lol. He sees a price increase for one year and compares it to the previous year not thinking about how prior years there werent much increases (below the rate of inflation).

Exactly 👍🏻

No company is going to eat the cost. Not one. The cost will always get passed on.

They're going to keep the same profit margins no matter what. They're not going to eat costs. They pass it on. I've been saying this since my first post.

😂 All true! It is also true that higher 2025 prices will drive 2024 sales and that is a real tactic.

I didn't say any of that. I said it would cause prices to rise and inflation will also. You said people will just buy the cheaper foreign ones. And I said since youre such a staunch supporter of the deal you should be willing to pay the increases. I don't care what you buy either way. I'm...

I said increases in labor costs causes prices to rise. And they do. That's it. Period. Add that with inflation and boom, you have a higher priced car. The explorer has had a similar rise within the last couple years. So it's not because there's no competition. The mustang competition went away...

I don't have their books and neither do you. But I do know GM and Stellantis couldn't make it work, so they decided they had to scrap it all together. I don't care if you cry or not lol I have no stocks in ford or you. You're acting like I owe you answers lmao Go buy another car. I promise...

I'm a bot account because inflation and the union deal added $2k to the price? Inflation is a real thing. Your car didn't go up in price as much as your food.

It proves me correct, because it went up from $43k to $45k, and we figured out inflation was $1300 per vehicle. Remember you were complaining about the few hundred dollars? Well there it is.

I like the idea of a higher end mustang too. I've always said it's hard to compete with Corvette when you have to have a $32k base car, which they don't. Could be the plan.

Exactly, and the American product dies off, American workers get laid off, and business and capital goes overseas. This is what we don't want to happen.

I'm not villainizing you, you're the one that called me a corporate shill because I know how business works and that if you raise wages 33%-140%, then your prices will be a lot higher. It's really that simple.

You do realize if the mustang is killed off, its not good for the workers at the flat Rock plant right? Guess what? Camaro and Challenger were killed so no, GM and Dodge couldn't make it work out. But the foreign competitors still have theirs. Wonder why lol If I were Ford, I'd raise the price...

I'm not saying its bad, I'm pointing out how ridiculous it is to complain when prices raise when you love the new union deal lol

They did account for a union deal and raised prices. Congrats! You got what you wanted, but now you don't want to support the workers? So you buy a foreign car where they don't have unions? Shame... 🤷🏻‍♂️

They could get paid zero and it wouldn't put a dent in the prices. The volume is incredibly high.

Exactly, and everyone gets laid off. See how these policies affect business...

Well congrats, you get to pay for their raises when you buy your mustang. Oh I forgot, you don't want to pay their wages, so youll get the foreign car.

You mean they'll go for the cheaper foreign option. This is real world effects. I own businesses and it's clear as day.
