Mustang 2015

Have to say i'm intrigued by the price, it's not bad at all for the Ecoboost. Very limited options online though, not even a wheel choice.

Chris_Heilong · 30-01-2015 9:55pm

More expensive than I thought it would be, I will have to wait about 8 years before the prices come down to something more realistic.

ION08 · 30-01-2015 11:08pm

Important question... Will it have the sequential indicators in ireland???

If not, not interested! :pac:

Dartz · 30-01-2015 11:12pm

I'l buy one when they'e 8 years old. Like the last 45,000 euro car I bought.

to all those who think the V8 is expensive at 62k look at the price in Holland:

€ 112.195

and the 2.3 starts at just 55k. Just sayin'

If te US car is costing circa €22k for the eco boost and Irish prices are going to be twice that? Wouldn't it make sense to import? Or would they be charging vrt of 20k to prevent this? A LHD wouldn't bother me.

Sure, it could be possible to buy a RHD in the USA from factory......

Its exactly what I thought it would cost Chris. I still wonder about the possibility of buying stateside and bringing one in. Now that we have the Irish price, does anyone know how much it would end up costing if one was ordered in the states in a RHD and shipped here?

goz83 · 31-01-2015 2:57am

Also worth a mention that the Mustang in the USA is only $1,790 more expensive than the Fusion (Mondeo).

But here in Ireland, it's slightly more at €17,000. Robbing fcuks!

Jesus. · 31-01-2015 3:18am

Roughly speaking, is the Mustang around the same size as the Mondy?

The Mustang is slightly shorter but a little bit wider. It's also rear wheel drive.

The irish times have a driving report today

At €2,350 / annum motor tax, its safe to assume you won't be seeing many of these

Should have been offered with TDI V8...

6.7 V8 Powerstroke TDI out of the F450 would've been a nice option. (400BHP and 1,000NM)

Big Nasty · 06-05-2015 1:18pm

The ecsboost is 750

The 2.3 is 750...but I reckon it's not going to be a common site on our roads all the same.

Voodoomelon · 06-05-2015 1:35pm

Would be quite different cars, but it would be hard to look past a 4 series for a Mustang if what the journalist says about pricing is correct.

Big Nasty · 06-05-2015 2:44pm

Some people would just prefer the Mustang tbh

Mostly men in their 50s with brown leather jackets.

The UK pricing is:

£29,000 for the 2.3 litre and £225 annual tax
£33,005 for the 5.0 litre and £500 annual tax

The UK's unextortionate tax makes me want to cry.

Why cant we have nice things?

Pugzilla · 08-05-2015 2:56pm

Why is there no V6 option ?

ION08 · 08-05-2015 2:58pm

Pugzilla wrote: »

Because it has inferior perfrmance to the 2.3 ecoboost and the motor tax in this beatifull country of ours would be extortionate seeing as its a V6

Pugzilla · 08-05-2015 3:01pm

Should have made the ecoboost crossplane at least, would have a more fitting sound for a muscle car.

Pugzilla · 08-05-2015 3:03pm

The vast majority of cars in this country are so f*cking boring.

that 4 grand is so minuscule in terms of purchasing a new car that Id struggle to find any justification for the ecoboost.

It isn't - it's €16,000 difference here.

This is already getting a mild facelift in the US for the 2016MY which features indicators incorporated into the hood vents

80% of British Mustang buyers have ordered the v8, So what will the percentage be for Ireland 10%?

I would imagine that once the Mustang "purists" have gotten hold of their V8's in the UK , the Ecoboosts will start to level out against the V8's as time goes on.

As for Ireland? We'll be lucky to see 80 V8's in this country never mind 80"%"

Feck this government and its extortionate Tax rates to hell. :mad::mad::mad:

If 5 people buy Mustangs in Ireland and 4 buy V8's, that's 80%

Well yes , by that logic if just 1 is sold and it's a V8 it would be 100% , even so I think it would be wishful thinking tbh

Big Nasty · 27-08-2015 8:01pm

They were due in Sept. That still the case anyone know? Have deliveries been made in UK yet?

Pugzilla · 27-08-2015 8:12pm

Does anyone know someone getting one of these?

Dartz · 27-08-2015 11:27pm

I wouldn't mind test-driving one.

But there's no way in hell I'd ever afford one, and it'd be churlish of me to go to a dealer and ask.

Don't think there has been any deliveries yet, I was reading a Mustang owners UK website and they were supposed to get the first RHD in the UK for a car meet in June. But couldn't get in the end, and used an LHD. http://www.mocgb.net/forums/showthread.php?67571-First-showing-of-2015-RHD-UK-MUSTANG-SUNDAY-14th-June-KENT
Some more reading of that forum shows a UK dealer doing an info day/launch for it on the 12/13th of September, but users are saying even then the first RHD won't be in the UK.

bear1 · 28-08-2015 8:26am

Who will be the official dealer for these in Ireland? Or will they just be given to profitable Ford dealerships?
I'd also be curious to know if anyone has put down an order for one.

Last time I checked, there was only 1 appointed Mustang (and Vignale) dealer for Ireland, and that was CAB in Cork.

They should be appointing another dealer at some point - probably Dublin - if they haven't appointed already.

Ford wanted separate showrooms (think MINI/BMW dealers) for Mustang and Vignale, so there wasn't a big rush from Ford dealers to take those on due to the investment required for such a small return.

Idbatterim · 28-08-2015 1:31pm

the E750 rate on the 2.3 isnt bad, but E2350 on a car that costs E67,000? Its one thing if you are spending double to triple that on the car, but...

Alanstrainor · 28-08-2015 1:36pm

I've already said it in this thread, but I'd have the 2.3 in a heartbeat. It's the future of these types of cars and looks to be a great performer. 310bhp, a tonne of torque, and maybe even reasonable fuel economy if driven sensibly.

bazz26 · 28-08-2015 1:55pm

Would many people spending €67k on the V8 really be put off by the motor tax? It's a bit like being concerned about the mpg figures. Might as well offer a 2.0 TDCi version for people concerned about those things.

I had a 5.0 GT V8 in States for a weekend in which I covered 820miles ... I 'd like to point out that these were giving it absolute "rental Car" hell and I averaged around 20-22 mpg

It's a 2.3 turbo charged heavy looking yoke to be fair to it.
