Is it NOW or NEVER to buy a new 2022 Ford Mustang Mach 1 muscle car?

[@trevorsutherland5263]

I really like this Mustang. However these are pretty much $70K cars now and frankly, no matter how great it is, that is within $15K of a Cayman T. I'm sorry if you work for a living there is no way you can pay that much for a Ford Mustang when a Porsche (A PORSCHE) is another $150 a month. The Mach I is a great $55K car that unfortunately costs $70K.

[@ZAYFLX]

70k plus a surplus gets you a Supra, M2, ttrs, and so on. Choosing a mustang over those cars is crazy to me lol

[@VooDooDeeZy]

I paid $57500 (msrp) for my 2021 mach 1 700a package. Not to mention cars like the cayman with 4 cyl turbo engines will be around for a long time, while the end of v8 rear drive sports cars is imminent.

[@salimrandall]

This is for guys looking at a Mustang GT PP but want a little exclusively. It’s not for me, but I think you’ll agree it’s still a nice car?

[@xoulmannn]

I would rather disagree because let's be real .... are you biased just because of the name or something else, because at the end of the day in the sports car world, who cares if a Porsche is a Porsche or a Ford is a Ford? Performance is what you should be looking for and this Mustang Exceeds a base 718 and a Supra in their capabilities; Power, Acceleration, Top Speed, Handling, & Tunability. Not to mention, those high end Mustangs are more reliable from what I've heard.

[@clemensmauch9530]

For me it was the best decision to buy a mach1. It was my dream car in the childhood. It is exactly what I expected. A real car with a lot of emotions. I like how this car drives and sounds. Even in germany we have this exhaust 😁 this is way better than any boring BMW or Mercedes’ and Audi. I don’t care if it is not this fast. It is way more fun and heritage. A dream come true for me

Gotta agree with you. The interior should have at least orange colour stitching or orange highlits on the door panels.

But don't get me wrong I do love the current GT350, GT350R & GT500 too. But in my personal opinion, the 2019 model and this Mach 1 (especially this Spider Jet Gray Mach 1) really caught my attention.

Joe. Do some research. Only the Cobra Jet and Boss Mustangs offered the shaker hood. My first new car before college and Vietnam was a Red 1969 Mustang 351 Cleveland 4V Mach 1. It only came with a black hood scoop on a black hood decal with a 351 badge on the side of the scoop.

[@PapaP86]

I bought a used (4100 mile) 2021 Mach 1 with handling package and Recaro's in Jet Fighter Gray a bit over a month ago. I put an order in on a 2022 (Grabber Blue), but bought the used one since I'm honestly not sure if or when the 2022 will be built or come in to the dealer. I did not want to miss getting one either way. V8 manual cars like this have their days numbered for them unfortunately. Whether I keep the 2021 or get rid of it if the 2022 comes in, either is a car I hope to keep the rest of my life. If I wouldn't lose any money, I'd maybe opt for the 2022, but with the taxes paid on the 2021, I would likely stand to lose money if I got rid of it unless I sold it at a price ~$6000-7000 over what I paid.

Love the Mach 1 with the Handling Package. Unfortunately Ford cannot meet demand and you basically cannot order these. You are stuck with whats sitting on dealer lots which aint many, and dealers want 5-10k markups. No thanks, i can order a Camaro SS 1LE or Scat Pack Widebody at 1% below invoice with affiliate pricing.

[@vmaund33]

How do you order it below invoice affiliate pricing? Could I do that on a zl1?

[@The_Draque]

@@vmaund33 "FCA Affiliates" or Chevys "gmsupplierdiscount" if you have good relationship with a dealer they may just give this to you, or you can get a code as a benefit from your place of employment, or theres ways anyone can get a code like joining "Tread Lightly" gets you an FCA code. ZL1 or Hellcat yes technically you can use an affiliate discount code at time of order or purchase from the lot, but dealers could and would likely decline to let you do so again unless you have a good relationship with them already seeing as how they can pretty easily get $10k or more on these cars with ADM markups. But like i said a Camaro SS 1Le or Scat Pack Widebody are common enough that affiliate pricing at time of order should be accepted by any half decent dealership
