So even with fuel prices doubling from a few years ago, that's only an extra $15 on fuel.
But then you got to pay the union guys who got a raise every year for the last 10 years that loads the cars, unloads the cars, drives the rig, etc., etc. Welcome to North American union labor. They're making money off of it. Someone is. And we all pay it or we don't get the cars. Cost of buying a new car. Challenger is 995 as well. But the Mustang...save $200. $795.

Probably because the Chally and the Camaro get charged for the extra seat because they're so fat.

Interesting you brought that up. When I ordered my Mustang, the shipment was delayed a month because one of the truck driver unions was on strike, and Ford and their contractors wouldn't cave. I think the union lost in the end.

Mine was built 11/15/12 and arrived in Houston 12/3/12, hopefully that helps and it does seem that yours should arrive by Christmas.

Well that's definitely encouraging! I'm going back to Michigan for Christmas so I guess it'll sit in the garage for about a week...if it does in fact arrive before Christmas. That will be the longest week of my life!

Dont forget to make them deduct the "processing fee"...even though it is to guarantee the salesman his commission, you can have them deduct it but still charge it so it zeros out.
