S550 Mustang ordered, couple questions
Discussion
Car is ordered, triple yellow, black stripes, V8 no custom pack but Shaker Audio/Nav, Reverse sensors and the climate seats.
Ordered based on the condition of a test drive not in rush hour Edinburgh traffic. As soon as the order was created was handed the keys and told to enjoy - went out for 45 minutes with SWMBO.
Reminded me of my old Supra, gave superb confidence down the back roads, was then pleasant when pottering back through the town. Initial thoughts were the V8 was rather quiet, after a little time though the benefit that its unobtrusive in traffic but produces a good burble when pushing on became apparent. The roads were pretty terrible but the suspension coped well, it didn't feel like being rattled to death over every pothole.
With 9-10 months delivery time being quoted it's agreed that my car will be registered in April 2017, for the £140 tax band, but also on the paperwork that the car will come with Fords new Sync 3 infortainment system - When is this being added to the Mustang in Europe/UK as was told they might night to place a 2nd order with Ford if my build is before this date and use this order for stock.

The Tax Band
I understand that from April 2017 the tax drops to £140 per year, BUT there is a 2k price you have to pay upfront, which I suppose if you keep the car 8 years plus works out an advantage
if this is wrong, please put me right
This is correct, although you push the £2k tax on the new car this is an increase as it's currently around £1k on the car so omg takes 3/4 years to be an advantage, that and when trying to sell a car from March with tax of £505 a year is going to be much more difficult to sell than a car from April at £140 tax A year.
