$2400 more for a car with a ton more content is not that unreasonable.
(Although I was hoping for $28,500 for a base sticker price....)

BUT, my local high volume dealer is offering huge discounts on Mustangs right now.... $500 over invoice on all '08's making the same GT Deluxe coupe $25,500 plus the Ford $1500 rebate in the norteast region. $24,000 for a new GT.... You're right, that might make people stop and think a little.

 

Correct...BUT... Fords site has the base deluxe GT at $26,775.00, THEN you add the destination charge to up it to $27,570.00 ($795.00 destination charge)

Even if the MSRP starts at $29,995.00 for the ss.. you gotta add that dest charge.. bam over 30k.

Much as it may have more content standard if the ss starts at that price I'm going to start looking at used vettes. Just the base for me with ttl is going to put me at or over my total budget of 32k.

 

The SS for under 30K is where is needs to be and it looks like it may well be.
Very good news!!!!

 

I smell G8/Solstice pricing. It'll debut at $29,995 so Chevy can claim the title of "most powerful car under $30,000"....for oh, about three months.

Solstice was the coolest car under $20,000 (at $19,995), I seem to recall that also only lasting a few months.

 

Dedpends on how the ss is contented. it might be closer to the content that is in the GT premium instead of the delux. With supplier pricing I paid 26k out the door on a 32k sticker.

 

The pontiac solstice at 19,995 also had no A/C

 

If the customer sees a $4500 difference he needs to rethink his math before buying too.

 

Lol. Seriously though, the mustang will have a lot of monetary incentives that the Camaro will not have since it's in the release year.

 

08 Mustang GTs are going for $8000 off here in the Detroit area. I got my Bullitt for $4700 off in April when it was a hot item.

 

18k for a new GT?

 

The problem with this discussion is that we're boiling it down to a numbers game - and buying a car isn't just about the numbers.

Some people will want the Camaro more than Mustang because it's a Camaro, or because of how the car looks, or because they like the interior better, or because the Camaro gets better mileage (assuming it does) or because of any number of other things. Depending on what criteria a person has, Ford may not be able to throw any amount of money at them to get them from a Camaro to a Mustang. For those that can be swayed by money, you can bet Ford will use tons of incentives. But with these cars, the majority of sales won't come from those who are unmoved beyond money by the car.

 

I think that is a key point. I think/hope the SS will be equal to or better than the Mustang GT premium in terms of content, all while offering things the Mustang simply cannot. Things like IRS, 422hp, Brembo brakes, larger wheels, hopefully better fuel economy, etc. That is where the extra few thousand are justified.

 

Bingo!

 

I might have enough left over to have mine repainted Lemans Blue like I originally wanted. Thanks Chevy, way to lay an egg when it came to colors, nice looking car though.

 

Why would this pic come out with Fergie!!! That car wants to crush her and be the main focus soo bad! Could have at least picked someone better looking than Fuglie, like Carmen Electra and maybe had her along side of it.
