Vehicle Overview
Ford has evolved its rear-drive four-seat Mustang pony car in recent years by blending retro and modern styling cues. For 2011, it boosted performance and fuel economy with a new 3.7-liter V-6 engine for the base Mustang and a new 5.0-liter V-8 for the GT. Playing on the retro theme, the Mustang lineup includes the high-performance Shelby GT500 and, new for 2012, the limited-production Boss 302.

Mustang continues in coupe and convertible body styles, and its primary competitors include the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger.

New for 2012
In addition to the new Boss 302, the 2012 Mustang is available with a new selectable steering system that lets the driver choose from three levels of power-steering assist.

Exterior
Recent styling changes give the Mustang a more modern, less retro appearance. It still features a forward-swept grille, but it has a compressed look and a power-dome hood. GT models have a small but significant styling feature: 5.0 badges on the front quarter-panels. Exterior features include:
  • Progressively illuminating LED taillights
  • Standard 17-inch aluminum wheels
  • Available 18- and 19-inch rims
  • Available high-intensity-discharge headlamps
Interior
The Mustang's cabin uses premium materials, including a soft-touch dashboard surface, a change made for the 2010 model year when it was significantly updated. Interior features include:
  • Retro gauges
  • Standard air conditioning
  • Standard CD stereo with MP3 jack
  • Standard cruise control
  • Available 8-inch touch-screen navigation system with Sirius Travel Link
Under the Hood
The Mustang is offered with V-6 or V-8 power, and both engines were new for 2011. Each engine can run on regular gas, though the V-8 will see a slight drop in output; it requires premium gas for maximum performance. The engines drive the rear wheels through either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. Mechanical features include:
  • 305-horsepower, 3.7-liter V-6 with 280 pounds-feet of torque
  • 412-hp, 5.0-liter V-8 with 390 pounds-feet of torque
  • Available Mayhem Mustang Package for V-6 models features a 3.31 rear axle ratio, firmer suspension tuning, 19-inch wheels and performance tires, a strut tower brace and a Sport mode for the stability system
  • A Brembo-brand brake kit is available for GT models that features 14-inch front discs and 19-inch wheels with performance tires
Safety
Standard safety features include:
  • Electronic stability system
  • Front-seat side-impact airbags with head-protection extension
  • Four-wheel-disc antilock brakes

These additional manufacturer savings programs can help you get your best deal.*

  1. Cash Rebates
  2. Low Interest Financing
  3. Special Leasing Options

Some manufacturers also provide first-time buyer, military, and other programs to target specific customer segments.

*Incentive programs are subject to change at any time by the manufacturer.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
