PS. The GT is awesome. Everything and More than I thought it would be.
Don't buy the V6. Get the GT instead. The V6's have a LOT of problems.
Yes, ordering for 2006 is over. 2007's are coming soon.
if you wait until they hit the lots you will find 2006's much cheaper.
If over your budget you should wait.

The rarity of the GT's and convertibles is nothing but hype and BS.
1) what kind of gas mialage are you getting on your Mustang GT 5 speed?
2) whats this Xplan pricing and how do I get to use it!?
Thanks!

P.S. With gas at $3.50 a gallon or more, look for a slowing in GT sales and thus $3K or more in savings. Don't have any idea what the X plan price discount is, but $26K seems like a lot of money to me. Think major setback in US economy by this Summer. Be careful - don't get caught in bear traps.
You should never lease for longer than 48 months... Ideally, no longer than 36 months..
That has to be a purchase... $26K borrowed for 72 months at 6% APR is only $431/mo..

Why don't you compare a car loan to a lease? At least at the end of the repayment period the car will be yours.
Leases are always to the advantage of the dealer/manufacturer, loans to the advantage of the loaner.
My personal advice, don't get in hock for a car right out of school. Settle for something cheaper, maybe a used car, enjoy life, and save your dough and/or spend it on more important things (housing, education, etc.). :shades:
I thought I would chime in on my experience Mustang shopping. I spent almost a month going back and forth with local Seattle dealers until I finally purchased my Mustang on Tuesday. Here is what I got:
2006 Mustang V6 Premium
Tungsten Gray/Charcoal Interior (Leather)
Auto
Pony Package
Leather
Anti Theft
Side Airbags
Locking Wheels
Interior Upgrade
MSRP 24,880.00
Sell Price 21,560.00
They also gave me full trade in price on my Volvo. The experience as a whole was great. They were really friendly and worked hard to earn my business. The only frustrating thing was having them at times return my call, but for the deal I got, it was OK. They even went from Seattle to Portland to get me the car at no cost.
Thanks,

At any rate...I am now the proud owner of a Mustang and will be happy when we get some decent weather around here and no more RAIN!

Side air bags may save lives. I would say it is a good option.
Wonder if we see a new interior soon? And what's up with this upgrade this and that. Kinda old school way to sell cars compared to the foreign cars which come with the top line materials.
Leather seats 'slippery'? I haven't fallen of mine yet. :shades:
Are you saying the car can not compete with foreign quality?
All cars need to compete for content, quality, and they should come with a decent warranty. If warranties are too short, you may as well buy used and save.
Will test drive the latest version and possibly a last of Fox body the same day to see what all the excitement is about.

If I was looking for good basic reliable transportation, yes, I would gravitate to a Honda, Toyota, or Nissan. But the Mustang is a muscle car, not in the same category, and without match in its price range and performance parameters, foreign or domestic. :shades:

I Appreciate everyone recommending that I upgrade this or that
but again, what I am asking, is based on THIS configuration,
for all those out there familiar w/ dealer pricing, Am I getting a good deal on this offer?
$50.00
Pre- Delivery Fee $ 495
State Tire & Bat Fee $ 6.50
sales Tax $1524.71
Lic & Title $200.00
MVWT $2.00
Title Doc & Handl. fee $64.95
Electronic filing $17.00
Total $26,305.15
So, looking at your deal.......
--purchase price $23,995
--Pre-delivery fee(?) $495
--Electronic filing fee(?) $17
(never heard of those last two fees)
Brings the total to $24,507 plus TTL (which you have to pay, no matter what).
That's a couple grand + off MSRP. Sounds like a good deal.....right near invoice.
I took delivery on Monday and have rarely been home since. :shades:

I am looking to purchase a V-6 convertible and have a X-Plan pin.
Do you think there is a way to get a price that is lower than the X-Plan? Use the X-Plan as a starting point to the negotiation and hope to go down from there?
2007 models are coming out and there already are 1,000 of incentives on 2006 convertibles.
Thank you!
I have never changed a single bulb - headlight, tail-light, nothing. The interior has held up well, and the paint still looks great. Of course, I garage it, but people can't believe it's 8 years old.
It consistently makes 21 mpg city, 25 highway. I'm lurking in this forum because I plan on buying a new GT sometime this year.
