Great news. I'm glad you were able to cancel the 3rd party warranty.

3/36 B to B warranty by mako1a

How much is the factory warranty?
 
I want to do away with that and shave say $5k off the price as I have an excellent mechanic. Besides we're going to put some Mustang performance mods on shortly.
 
Is that doable?

I'm pretty sure the answer is "no", and even if it weren't I doubt that the value of the factory warranty is anywhere near $5000. It is probably closer to $500.

Factory warranty has no cash value.

Correctamundo - the cost is figured into production cost and is not even listed on an invoice. Just like a windshield or steering wheel.

Well there is a way.
 
Find a nearly new totalled Mustang car that someone can rebuild and sell to you for less than a new one.
 
It won't have factory warranty as no rebuilds or salvage title cars have. You'll save a ton of money compared to new. The problem is you'll be driving an unsellable car until it reaches the age of 10 or 20 years old.

Please advise - agreed to price over email, ok to make deposit over phone? by thundertim

I've agreed to a final price over email with a dealership, but the model isn't coming until next week. They want a $500 deposit which we can arrange via CC over the phone, which seems reasonable to me, but how do I ensure that our deal over email is honored once the deposit is made? I suppose I could dispute it the deposit on my CC if it came to that, but Is there proper paperwork I should be asking for as part of the deposit?

Have them fax a signed buyer's order to you prior to giving the deposit. Sign it, keep a copy and fax it back. Use a credit card so you could dispute the charge if things change. Make sure the Buyer's order includes all fees and taxes.
