So who has ordered the new S550 Mustang?

[dabigginger]

I personally prefer the auto because the centre console hasn't been redesigned for RHD meaning the drinks holders get in the way when changing gear and the handbrake is too far away and awkward to use.

Hadn't thought of that thanks! I've driven autos for 4 years now and as much I enjoy occasionally driving my girlfriends manual fiesta st I don't miss driving a manual in stop start traffic so was leaning towards auto.

As per my thread I got an unallocated GT arriving in 3 weeks. The dealer group I got mine from have quite a few others arriving soon, also unallocated. Post here or DM me if you want their details.

I too have found the whole purchasing experience very underwhelming. The trouble is, all these salesmen are not interested in something that's a a year away. All they are interested in , is the here and now. They want to sell the focus or fiesta that' is in stock so that the the commission is in next months salary. In most cases by the time the car arrives the salesmen would have left or been sacked anyway.

True- my salesman was honest enough to admit this- they don't see their commission until the car is delivered so I assume they would much rather spend 5 mins selling a Fiesta 1.0 rather than dealing with picky customers spending almost £40k for commission they may never see.

Er ok I'll have a look at that and PM you

Ok I'll ring my local ford dealer later and book in for a test drive tomorrow as I'm at work all afternoon today. I'll PM you then. I assume PX on my current car is doable as well? If not not a big deal.

Get one!

We can have a very specialised ATC/Mustang owners meet

Who's footing the fuel bill for that one!?? 800 miles in a V8, ouch!

Its on me! Ill be doing 2k km per month in mine anyway... whats another 1300km

(Ps. I really want to visit NATS, can DJC206 fix it for me)

We have guys visiting Maastricht all the time, shouldn't be too hard to organise something reciprocal. Your procedures guys will probably have the details of how to formally organise something but if you have no luck there I'll ask my watch supervisor next cycle how to go about organising a trip.

Has anyone got build dates confirmed who has ordered in the last couple of months? emailed my dealer today for an update and they just don't respond it's driving me nuts

[bigblockmark]

Updates and reply's, your having a laugh. More chance of getting a w***k off the pope.

So I ordered one. Going to contact all the people suggested on here about cancelled orders to see if I can't skip the queue but I'm being a bit fussy on spec. The wait begins...

They will reply

Yeah good idea I'll try that , do you know there email addresses?

Cheers

Sadly after waiting 15 months for the bloody thing its just not practical enough - I cant get the kids in it for any sort of journey and as it was to be our only "petrol" car it has to go - lets see what the market is like.

Very healthy I'd say. The one in the dealership I was in today had a £2k premium

How much does it cost to fill up from empty on regular petrol?

In the UK 60 litres of regular (95) a tad over £65 so about $95 I should think. Premium (97-99) would be about $100.
