So who has ordered the new S550 Mustang?

[croyde]

Darn it! Sorry Roo but I have no idea what you look like. I must of passed you as I must of looked at every car there

BTW my Ford Dealer has said that I can have the car at the pre VED price increase as it seemed only fair.

Only a tenner but I thought it a nice gesture.

After not putting any serious thought into ordering one, I'm off to finalise my order with the dealer today.

Still not 100% sure on colour but leaning towards a Ruby Red V8 manual Fastback. Or maybe black..? Hmmm!

What's the waiting list/delivery time likely to be if a deposit was put down now?

I started with Magnetic and then black at the behest of Mrs unpc but I subsequently was looking at car park full of supercars at work and the black ones looked like nothing really. I took my concerns to a full suite of felt pen fairies in the studio and Ruby Red was the answer.

I got told by a dealer yesterday Jan '16 build slot, Apr '16 delivery. Not sure I buy it though, haven't pushed him on it yet.

Funnily enough this colour scheme was on my radar also and I've just seen a new MX5 in a similar colour scheme too. I know there is a Ford/Mazda tie-up so would the colours be the same do you think? ....

Here's a picture of my current Mustang in Ruby Red, hope this helps with your decision.

So I have a few days before I can no longer change my order. Up to now I have stuck with Competition Orange, Fastback GT no extras but I'm now wondering if I should get the parking sensors and even the Sat Nav.

Doh!

I also almost went Ruby Red, but whilst it looks great in strong sunlight, I feared it would look a bit dull/muddy in the UK? It takes a really strong red in the UK to really 'pop'.

There's quite a few European Fords around now on the latest Ruby Red and it looks pretty good in dim light too as long as it's clean. It was for this reason I binned the Magnetic. The Race Red is too in yer face for my liking. I had the full styling crew from Britain's leading supercar manufacturer on the case and they went with Ruby. They thought the Race Red looked plastic.

When I was deciding, my thought process went along the lines of:

1. IF I ever sell, the more options, the better.

2. It's my special occasion car so why not?

3. (now that I've sat in it) reverse sensors will be very useful.

4. On the rare occasions the stereo will be on, why not have the best one?


As long as the cost isn't an issue, ask yourself what benefit you'll get from NOT having the extra options...

No reverse sensors: smooth bumper but possible parking issues

No upgraded audio: sound not as good

No climate seats: when you're too hot or too cold, that's how you'll stay.

Think you've sold me on No2.

Cheers mate

Not yet Is this a Champions league car or a 'regular' order Gibbo?

Regular.

[knownuser]

L0020 apparently, feels like pulling teeth whenever I ask for info.

[Centurion07]

Any chance people can include their order date along with their order number?

I think it will make for interesting reading looking at some of these numbers and comparing when the orders were actually placed...
