... brand new, right hand drive, for £33k.
Surely that's got to appeal to some of you nutters :)
-
It will be on Opti's drive before we know it.

It does, even though it's not a looker. That, and I'm missing about £32,950

Insurance group prob 50E plus £500 road tax after 1st year. Nce cars though, have driven the standard V6 in the states, bit of a 'muscle' car. Manual's will be a fun drive until you check the fuel guage LOL :y

A good friend of mine has one on order :y 6 month wait :-[

No...I'd prefer a V8 Chevrolet, much like the one you once owned.
Remind me, was it a Corvette or a Camaro?

Neither of those. You wouldn't get a dog crate and a family of five into one of those useless things. ;D

Drove the V8 Mustang for a fortnight when we were in the US a couple of years ago & I loved it a lot of car for the money .I think after a couple of years that a low mileage one could be bought for decent money, I would certainly have one .

Yes be interesting to see how second hand prices stack up, I bet the V8's will hold value and V6's would be cheap in a few years?

I thought there where only 2 engine choices for the UK, The 5.0 V8 and the 2.3 4-cylinder ecoboost engines?

Correct. So actually only one choice ;) :y
-
Ah yes, for some reason I thought it was V6 or V8 :-[
But yeah, I can't see the 4 potter holding it's value well, imagine a 2.2 4 pot Monaro ::) ;D
-
Yes there is only one engine I would want in a Mustang ,got to be a V8 😀 😀 😀

What is this weird fetish with V8s? It's only an engine.
And you do know that it's a 310hp 4 pot, not the weedy thing that Vx foisted on the Omega?
The biggest reason not to buy it is that the 5.0l is only a couple of grand more expensive

I have. And used many more.

Shame they're not bringing the GT350 over the pond too 8)

Cheaper option than a new VXR8 these Mustangs for the time being anyway, The Monaro/VXR8 where around the £30k+ region at one point.

Discounted to £23,995 in 2009...
Camero is a better car and around £35K for the 6.2 iirc 8)

Exactly !

Damn straight. I prefer the arse end of this one but the front end of the previous generation.
Very nearly bought a LHD Boss 302 from the US for a song ($29k, one owner, 10k miles) if I thought they would be sellable over here (as the Boss 302 never made it to RHD). Decided against it.
Went to Goodwood a few weeks ago to find a company importing the LHD special editions; they had a 2012 GT500 for the tasty sum of £80k.
Perhaps I should have imported it after all..
-

The company I just mentioned will import you one of those for £80k, too.

No thanks! :D think I'll have an E63 AMG and some change instead for £80k!! Jeeeeeesus ;D

The new vxr8 is £50k+ !!! I don't know how anybody is paying that for a car with a vx insignia steering wheel! *vomit* :o :o

I've never actually seen a vxr8 on the road.

Fair few round these parts. Older ones could almost be described as subtle, but the more recent ones....
-
I have, but admittedly it wasn't the latest shape. Not really suprised. You'd have to be insane to buy one.

I'd rather have a car that has actually been designed rather than slung together... ...but new RWD saloons are thin on the ground if you rule out BMW (because I'm not a idiot) and Merc (because I'm not that daft)

Phantom it is then. Cos everything else is made to a cost and is subsequently sh1t in some way or another.
The E63 doesn't share the "brick on ball bearings" handling of almost every other merc.

Yep.
£50,000.......No way.
£28,000.......seems more realistic. I mean, we are not talking cutting edge technology. So why so expensive?.
-
AMG, according to those in the know, don't even know how to calculate handling characteristics, hence all AMG's are lary, as tthey randomly spec bits from a standard catalogue. Without doubt, equivalent beemers are better cars, and are becoming a bit more desirable now cockman is moving over to VAG.

You wanna try owning a modern bm.
Or at least paying for one while it sits in their workshop for 3 months having main bearings replaced at 33k miles ::)
Or being de-coked...
Or having the trim refitted because it's knackered...
Or replacing run flat tyres at $999999999 each...
Not to mention what an awful piece of crap their software that controls the 8 spd zf box is.
-
Anyway if I would consider to buy something like that , my choice be definitely VXR8 - and not because I'm sticking with vauxhall, but because i think its better in any angle :)

Yup, never said they were any good (Christ, I have a family of beemer owners ;D), just generally a better driving car than anything AMG (or Merc).
But if you're not into "driving", a Merc is a nice place to be for pootling around.

I would agree with you for the most part. I've owned and driven both bm and merc a plenty. The E63 however, perhaps by blind luck, who knows, doesn't fall into the usual mercedes mould of "just a nice way of getting from A-B in no mad rush".

My Uncle used to work for Ford and even though he's retired still gets a new car every 6 months. He's going to try to get a Mustang and hopefully I'll get a test drive if he does! :y
Note to self: Buy Uncle a birthday present!! :D ;D

That must have been quite painful for you to say. ;D

Saw on of these new V8 Mustangs on the road today, very impressive looking car. Certainly put the 16 Plate Audi TT into perspective when they were side by side on the M25 ::) ;D
-
Yes they look like a classic already , I really like them

Clearly. So much so that he omitted the "to estate agents" from the end. ;)
