I went to test drive a V6 Mustang on Friday in San Jose CA, at whatever Ford dealer us at the AutoMall here. Cant remember the name.
 
Anyway, I was shocked and surprised to see that they marked every Mustang up 3,995. Thats an extra 4K they added to the sticker, just because they could.
 
Not just on the GT's either, every single one. And they didnt have a 2006 on the lot - they were all 2005's.
 
Unbelievable.
 
Of course I walked.
 
Houses are supposed to be more expensive here, not cars. What a rip-off.
 
If I get a Mustang, it surely wont be from them. I will go to NC (where I am from) and drive it cross country before I buy a hubcap from them.

Hey everyone! So here's my deal. Late July this year I placed an order for a '06 v6 convertible w/pony package thru Beverly Hills Ford. The sales guy (will call him MS) took my order + $1k deposit & said he's give me a call in a couple of days w/confirmation & final price as he only had '05 pricing. 3 days later & no word so I emailed him. He said he'd look into it. 4 more days later & still nothing. No response to another email so I called & he calked it up to being busy. He said still no word yet from Ford. A week later & still nothing & he stopped returning my messages so I email the president (will call him NO). He's nice & all & as a result I finally get a confirmation # & a price of $23,670 from MS. I thank him for going under dealer cost & for blowing away the other quotes I've received. About 3 weeks later I try to get a hold of MS to ask for an update & to let him know I've found a comparable car at another dealer so I ask if he can trade for it & I'll take it instead. No response. A week later & still no response so again I contact the president who apologizes & says he's working on trading for the other car & will let me know the next day. Next day, the GM calls (will call him GG). He says they couldn't trade & notices that MS gave me the wrong price & it should be $3k higher but can't confirm how my order's going. I tell him I don't appreciate having my time wasted for almost 7 weeks & that I'll think about what I want to do. I again email NO & tell him that I don't appreciate his dealership's tactics, negotiate price again, & tell him it wasn't my fault that MS gave me the wrong price & since my time was wasted by misinformation & they can't give me an update anyway that I feel that they should honor the price or at very least consider meeting in the middle. GG calls me while at work yelling, swearing, saying to stop wasting THEIR time w/nonsense & there's no chance they'll go that low. I tell him MS started the whole thing & should be held accountable. He starts going off again & threatens to call my boss (since he had my work # on the order sheet) & tell him that I was wasting company time to harass them w/nonsense! Can you believe that!?! I tell him I'll not deal w/him anymore so I contact NO. He's not taking my calls so I finally email everyone that I'm cancelling my order. It takes a couple of weeks & several messages from me but they finally send my deposit back. Funny thing is NO attaches his business card w/the check & in the interim I get a message from some other sales guy there that my car has come in....a coupe! So, anyway, I'm back to square one & trying to negotiate with other dealers....

#417 of 1125 quickly..... by graphicguy

Sep 28, 2005 (5:27 am)

Some very quick answers....
 
kyfdx is right about finding info about all theings "new" Mustang being in the other thread.
 
Shalu.....the mirror I'm referring to would be after market. I think Ford accessories would have them. Ask your dealer about them. Zaino Z7 (wash), Z2 + accelerator (show car polish) would be the minimum I would buy.
 
jim....run, don't walk from your current dealership. You were "low balled".You've got your deposit back. The Mustang is a hot item. You aren't going to get below invoice or even below invoice deals on them. With the new "pony package", the V6 is getting even more popular than it was with the '05 models.
 
cary....that's a good price on the V6, Pony Package convertibles. Mostly, the convertibles are going for at or around MSRP.

Thanx graphicguy. I did start negotiating with a few dealers again already. Thus far I've gotten 3 quotes around $27500 for a black v6 vert with leather, pony package, interior upgrade, & side airbags - I think that's about $1500 under invoice. I'll be ordering it from Ford which is fine as long as I get the car I want. Chances are I'll decide on one of those dealers either today or tomorrow & head on over this weekend to close a deal & will keep you updated. What should I do differently this time? What should I be walking out with after I place my order with the dealer? Any questions I should ask?
Any further advice would be great!
