Moved to Forum: Original Link

The fantastic all-new Ford Mustang is coming to Australia in late 2015. Pricing has just been released and it is about 10k less than most pundits were expecting, especially the awesome 303kW V8.

2015 Ford Mustang pricing (plus on-road costs):

  • EcoBoost Fastback manual – $44,990
  • EcoBoost Fastback auto – $47,490

  • EcoBoost Convertible auto – $53,990

  • V8 Fastback manual – $54,990

  • V8 Fastback auto – $57,490
  • V8 Convertible auto – $63,990

If you want to get one of the first batch (Dec 2015 to Feb 2016 delivery), you need to put a deposit down at a Ford dealer by this Friday, otherwise you could be waiting almost 2 years to get one as demand will almost certainly outsrip supply. Shop around though as some dealers are dodgily trying to charge 5k dealer delivery…should be around 2k at most!

I personally think the V8 is the way to go as it will be more fun to drive, hold it's value better and has that awesome V8 engine note. Oh, and it does 0-100 in 4.4s……yeeehaa! I cannot think of any other sub 100k sports car that is this quick.

Some might call it a poor man's Ferrari, but I reckon it look's pretty cool and is awesome value for what you get.

    Personally, I'm waiting for the release of the 2015 Audi RS3. They should just hurry the hell up, and take my money already..

      I like the Audi S3/RS3, just not in the sportback version.. too wagon like for me.

      • xuqi on 05/03/2015 - 17:21

        If you buy the Mustang, you'll be burning much more money, far quicker. :)

          haha..

          Resale has never been Audi's strong suit, I would say no better or even worst than an Audi.

          But you will be burning more fuel in a Mustang, but the 5 cylinder Audi is not Prius.

          Anyway good luck, the RS3 will be a great car if the S3 is anything to go by.

        • zeomega on 06/03/2015 - 11:27

          @JB1:

          Personal opinon, the v8 mustang will hold its value much better over 2 years vs the RS3. I'm willing to bet the RS3 will depreciate significantly more in terms of monetary value. Have you seen how hard it is to move a 2 year old RS4 or RS6 to the point that pple slash their prices drastically?

        • hayne on 08/03/2015 - 01:15

          @zeomega: possible but not necessarily correct.

          An S3 holds 59% of its value after 3 years according to Redbook.

          An XR6 (probably the closest analogue to a Mustang) holds between 51 - 59% depending on model. Fords in general don't do well (utes aside - for some reason Holden and Ford utes have incredible resale value).

          So I would say it depends whether the RS3 is more comparable to the S3 or to the RS4/6.

        • zeomega on 08/03/2015 - 08:57

          @hayne:
          You're comparing it to the S3? They are really quite different cars.
          The S4 and the S6 are easy to move in comparison to the RS.

        That's useless unless you are very specific, as to which finance company, rate, etc. you are referring to, as the car company can always provide you finance (at whatever rate) to satisfy the condition.

        I always put 'Subject to my wife's approval'.

        • Employeebilly_bob @ Ford Australia on 07/03/2015 - 08:07

          @xuqi: it wasn't advice, it was just what I put in. I also put in subject to Ford employee pricing, which I hope we can get, but maybe not due to high demand for this car.

  • shadowarrior on 06/03/2015 - 00:49

    And they charge you $500 extra for any paint apart from White. Unlike US, where you only get charged the premium for I think couple of colours. One of the reds and yellow. AusTax at it's finest :)
    And doesn't let you pick your interior trims.. does not let you select any performance add-ons either.

  • Orgazmo on 07/03/2015 - 15:41

    Is there hope that we could see more American cars here now that our factories are closing? I'm talking about the big pickups like Toyota Tundra, Ford F350 & Chev Silverado.

    • shadowarrior on 07/03/2015 - 17:37

      If only Tundra had a diesel engine :(

    • [Deactivated] on 07/03/2015 - 18:02

      I would totally buy an F150 with either the 2.7 or the 3.5 with the new 10 speed transmission. With that many ratios, you don't need a diesel.

      • shadowarrior on 08/03/2015 - 04:13

        Gear ratio will not give you increased torque. They are aiming for higher gears to improve economy but I don't see this happening. Several flaws there. Your average Joe using the F 150 series trucks are like every day drivers who need the torque to tow/carry load. How will you implement the gears in Manual? Would mean now to drive a F-150 manual, they have to learn how to drive the truck patterns? Shifting to lower gear might not even produce the torque needed. Diesel engines are good for one thing…producing torque at low rpms.

        • [Deactivated] on 08/03/2015 - 09:09

          I didn't mention torque. The reason I want the 10 speed is for fuel economy, as even the 2.7 turbo is pretty abysmal with the 6 speed auto. Both the 2.7 and 3.5 have plenty of power and torque. I'd really love the raptor.

    As an Australian Ford enthusiast, long live the mighty Falcon. That is all.

    • [Deactivated] on 08/03/2015 - 09:11

      That car should have died a long time ago. The only people that bought them were taxi drivers, and they are even swapping those for mercedes c class diesels here in melbourne.

      • BartholemewH on 10/03/2015 - 22:14

        I am an accountant and at no time have I been employed as a taxi driver. Your second statement is therefore false, throwing doubt on the validity of your first statement.

        • [Deactivated] on 10/03/2015 - 22:33

          Only idiots bought the 6 cylinder Falcadores as private purchases. They are fleet cars. The V8's are the only option.

        • BartholemewH on 11/03/2015 - 00:51

          @thorton82: This comment shows you know little about the engines offered in the Falcon over the years. If you want a (post '83) V8, with the exception of the Miami S/C V8, they've mostly been duds. The six was certainly the pick at certain times including the EA/EB era and in the BA onwards turbos. In regional Australia for many it's still Falcon, Commodore or Landcruiser.

        • [Deactivated] on 11/03/2015 - 07:23

          @BartholemewH: I'm talking specifically about the current models. Obviously the falcon i6 turbo is not a fleet car.,

  • T1OOO on 08/03/2015 - 04:30

    Can't but help that this will be a total (profanity) car. And with that price will sell a lot and be way to common. Just my opinion. Looks cool for a bit but then the feeling kinda fades away.

          Funny, because I'd say the (profanity) is the bloke who judges a car based off its popularity; its image, rather than it's merits, not the bloke who can speak and write properly.

  • [Deactivated] on 08/03/2015 - 09:45

    The Mustang seemed fairly popular when I was in LA two years ago but not common enough to flood the market but I could imagine here that it will be popular then drop off. There was plenty of buzz about the 86 and BRZ but interest dropped of quickly. I personally have always loved the look of the mustang and hope to get a new one within the first few years. At the end of the day cars are largely a emotional decision.

  • yesiamcheap on 09/03/2015 - 20:58

    I purchased an 86 GTS last year. If this was out then I'd probably have bought the Mustang instead. Next car will probably be a Merc AMG but that's a couple of years away.

  • jeremism on 09/03/2015 - 23:43

    Personal taste aside, I think it's fantastic that Ford have priced this car so well and look forward to seeing them on the road.

    I am curious to see whether a long waiting list does eventuate, and whether that results in mark ups on the demo/used car market (Eg, demo/used Merc CLA45 AMGs are going for $20k+ over the brand new price at the moment).

    If something similar happens with the Mustang, then those saying "not a bargain" may be eating their words!

  • branners on 10/03/2015 - 12:15

    First, I give the OP and Associated poster brownie points for posting details of the car here. I think that online engagement with customers is good, even if not everyone thinks this is the perfect forum.
    Second, I also give Ford and the OP some credit for the car's pricing. It is difficult to compare prices for different markets, as model to model is never absolutely identical (especially comparing LHD builds with RHD), but the entry level EcoBoost Premium sells Stateside for US$29,300 (A$38,200). At today's exchange rates, at $44,990 the AUS version is about A$6800 more, which is not outrageous, as these things go.
    But, to get to one of my pet bugbears, particularly with American car companies. [And remember, in spite of the perceptions of many in this country, Ford is an American car company.]
    On the US market 'Stang, I can upgrade from a Manual 6-speed transmission to an auto for the sum of US$1150 (A$2500). Here, with the same mechanical package installed in similar cars, that upgrade costs A$2500.
    With the cars coming off the same production line in Flat Rock Michigan, and the Free Trade Agreement between the two countries in place and presumably operating, can someone please explain to me why it is that Ford AUSTRALIA thinks that it is OK to rip Aussie buyers of automatic Mustangs off to the tune of $1000?

    • Employeebilly_bob @ Ford Australia on 17/03/2015 - 16:35

      I agree that A$2500 for auto is high compared to what they pay in the US. The problem is the "Straya" tax is so entrenched here that everyone accepts paying $2000 to $2500 extra for auto. Look at just about any car model on sale in Australia, even the cheapest, nastiest econoboxes, and you will see that the auto is almost always at least $2000 more than the manual. It seems an easy money grab by all the car makers and Ford is no different in this regards. Anyway, my personal preference for a car like this is a manual, so they won't be ripping me off for the auto.

  • Employeebilly_bob @ Ford Australia on 06/02/2016 - 00:58

    It's great to be proven right sometimes! That is, about demand outstripping supply….over 4000 orders now and a wait time stretching to May 2017. I hope those who listened to me and got their orders in early will enjoy their pony soon.
