By the way, I live in Kuwait and there is only one dealership over here for Ford!

thanks.

Hmmm could that very statement be why the Mustang is higher at that particular dealership? Surely they charge a little more for shipping over seas???

i know there is a pretty big markup on American cars in Lebanon because importing fees and taxes come out to be about 5k, so this may be the same issue that you are having in Kuwait

I highly doubt it. The only tax we have is a 4% over imported cars that the dealer pays. So If the Mustang is 27000, then the dealer pays only 1080 USD. But of course when the dealer import a car its price should be waaaaaaaay less than 27K.

And also I just saw a VW Toureg... Its even cheaper than the Mustang. I can get Benz E240 for the price of that mustang over here!

thanks everyone for ur replies.
Earlier today I paid a visit to the dealer. They still have some 2005 Mustangs. I found a GT with manual tranny and leather. not sure about sound system though, but it had 17" wheels.
Its price was 34,245 USD! The sales man said they've already discounted the price and there will be no more discounts!!

They had a convertable... Its price was 40,000 USD!

So what do you all think of those prices? I think they're alittle bit too high. If the GT was 31000, that would've been okay with me!

SAUD... How much did u pay for ur GT?

Well I got a loaded GT Premium Coupe with just about every option except for red interior, shaker 1000 and wheel locks. $26800 or about $200 over invoice, $28900 out the door with tax. You shouldn't pay anything over MSRP at the very least.
