I test drove the GT Blackout addition. It was $41K. Beautiful car. The Ecoboost was $35K. The V6’s go for around $22, but Ford decided you can’t get any options on the V6. The V6 is better than the Ecoboost, but Ford wants you to buy a decked out Ecoboost because they make more money on them.
The interior is a little more “polished” than my 2011 and there were some options, like a backup camera, but other than that, I couldn’t justify the payment.
Ding Ding Ding... it is about the $41K....
They are flipping amazing cars, one of my gnomes has shown up with various pre-sales / post proto's in my driveway to show them off but let that go. Look how can a millennial living in their basement even consider this? Heck back in the day, I heard of kids getting their parents to cosign ( 60's ) and buying a new Vette in H.S. the price-point difference vs Inflation and what a 20 something makes has taken this off a ton of peoples dream list.
Now add to this, it is pre-election in a tumultuous election season. People often deter large purchases, Mustangs included.
And now for the money How do you think the laid off guys are gonna vote? For Hilda or Trump? Frig no, not for Hilda, take that too the bank... I'd say more but be here on 11/7....
“I test drove the GT Blackout addition. It was $41K. “
The Blackout is a $149 option. I bought the 2016 GT fully loaded with performance package for $36k last July. That was with $6000 in discounts and rebates with 36 month zero interest.
I loved my 2008 Bullet but the 2016 is really nice!
