£505 After the first year but will obviously go up.
Just been told by a dealer that it's £1,100
Yes, for the first year, which is, I believe, included in the purchase price. I hope your dealer explained that.

All new cars are subject to a double VED charge for the first year. It's another how dare you buy something nice tax biggrin

In the Mustang's case it is indeed included in the on the road price so if you bought at £32995 for the V8 the only other initial cost is insurance.

He didn't so thanks for the info. Thought it steep and was worried that it can only go up so that's a relief.

Saw one at Le Mans and have to say they look even better in the flesh.

Been quoted between £330-£390 fully comp protected no claims thats top 6 companies, so not to bad to insure.

You might want to reconsider where you buy your car from if they're that clueless!

Was that the Meercats? because I tried the other day and although it didn't specifically mention the S550 it did have 2015 Mustang V8 RHD. My quotes were around the £500 mark which I was pleasantly surprised at, especially as I went for business use, parked on road, London and working in 'entertainment'.

A year ago I tried to insure a 2010 S197 and no one would quote me apart from Adrian F and they wanted £1400 yikes It cost me £550 to insure my 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis and that was only TPFT.

Are imports normally so expensive to insure?

I was in Toronto for work last week. Didn't get chance to see a Ford dealer but saw 4 Mustangs - 3 on the taxi ride back to airport. The first was a blue 'vert, not bad, colour looked a bit dull. Second was yellow - really didn't like it, the yellow seems to make it look less aggressive. Then saw another blue,but finally...a black coupe.

The black was stunning, easily the most aggressive looking, amazing.

Really can't wait now!


Do I need a reason to post a pic of my car...?
1,400 miles in and not a bad word to say about the experience.
Avg 16mpg, grip galore and pulls like a train.

Easily the best colour, absolutely stunning and took away my reservations about the design.

Would not be to sure on that Croyde reading your previous post we both have the same order no L0031. Mine is Ebony with custom. Am popping into TCH tomorrow so will hope to clarify that.

I might have made a mistake. It was 30 something as told to me but I don't actually have a piece of paper with an L number.

My S197 was black - it took a lot of effort to keep it clean (when it looked its best). That's one of the reasons I've gone DIB this time! smile

Glad i ordered black too! Looks amazing. I have to say i saw one when i was in Vegas recently and it turned my head before i knew it was a 2015 Mustang. So that reaction from me alone told me i had made the right choice. Can't wait for delivery now! driving

Wibble. I'm going to have to unsubscribe from this thread, I'm meant to be buying a house.

Any indication on finance options yet?
