I thought you guys would be interested in the residuals I have been quoted of £17k for 4 years and £19.5k for three years for my GT convertible custom with paint.

55% loss on 3 years - a bit high ? thoughts ?

Anyhoo Ford Finance beat Oracle, just waiting for Nat West and Lombard now and thats that.

Don't forget the finance companies generally quote 'worst case' residuals, particularly or a car that is new to the market. Do not take those values as anything other than an estimate.
Yep understand but still with a 12 month waiting list circa I would have thought a little higher

Ive paid £40,900 for mine which I think is the most you could spend at the time, indeed it's near £2k more now.
I've done a pcp over 3 years at £440 a month and was accepted despite declaring my income as only our child benefit so they seem quite flexible.
I am just negotiations the RTi now they want £399 I've offered £250, will advise outcome.

I see this as a first mustang for myself not my forever mustang it's not quite special enough and I look forward to the more exotic ones launched over the next few years.

Have a look at ALA for RTI. You can get a pistonheads discount. There's a code in the sticky in GG. They were cheaper than anyone else when I bought a GAP policy recently.
Trust Ford have done a deal on RTi as I threatened to not use their finance. I feel comfier with the Ford product (I know I know).

My last brand new car was a 2010 Jag XFR and that was a heap of crap (you will never see a straight steering wheel on one) but the handover was great, lets see how a busy "wooly back" Ford Store does ;o)
