Help me, I might buy a Mustang
Yikes, and I was so certain I would end up with a Camaro.
A quick backstory: I am graduating from University this December as an engineer, and I have a job lined up starting Jan 3. It's time to replace the 98 Ford Escort coupe. I've had my eyes set on a Camaro LS or if I feel I can manage, an LT RS. However, Ford has some really great incentives this month. Mustang V6 Premium Coupe with $3500 cash rebate, $1000 Costco rebate, and $500 off for Cash for clunker's equivalent. And thats the premium Mustang V6. The end price is around $26.5K CAD after taxes, where right now I'm looking at about $30K CAD for a base model (LS) Camaro after taxes. That's with the steelies (hate), no fog lights, and limited MP3 connectivity. I love the Camaro LS but I really wouldn't be satisfied with the steelies. I can't justify driving off the lot not 100% satisfied with my new car. I haven't test driven the Mustang yet, but I feel if I do, I'll be so excited about it and it'll be really hard to justify coming back to the Camaro. And that 3.7L Mustang is quite impressive, it (apparently) handles really well and you can't really argue with the 0-60 of 5.1 sec and the 1/4 mile in 13.7 sec. Those numbers are superior to the Camaro's. Alright, bring on the bias. Help me out, I'm a Camaro owner and love em to death, but the price difference is a whole vehicle class difference right now. |

Look online or give Becky a pm, she is a sponsor and vendor on here (Roger's Chevrolet), and i know for a fact that some 2010 & 2011 models are going with real good incentives! And here is the kicker, you can probably get a SS brand spanking new for 29 to 31k!

You have to realize how badly we Canadians are getting ripped off. New SS Camaro's are over 40K OTD up here. |

Sad that we are even right now and you are still getting screwed with the "higher" conversion price. The car is built THERE to boot!

its a no brainer. You get a premium model on a Mustang V6 and save thousands over a base Camaro V6. It is faster too! Many here will blast the Mustang and say the Camaro is better looking but you gotta remember, appearance is subjective. This is a Camaro site and Camaro is the handsome king but if you go to the Ford site, those people there think Camaro looks like crap. It's your money...get the most for it.
