Like any cyclical market, the Ford Mustang sales trend follows suit with the adage “what goes up must come down” … and so on we go. July’s final sales have been finalized, letting the June (2011 peak thus far) excitement down a bit amidst a continually downtrodden economy. Add in a dash of triple-digit weather across most of the nation for nearly 40 days (and counting) and it’s not too hard to wonder why no one wants the 6-hour chess & tennis match of a dealership experience…new Ford Mustang or not.

if i could have found a 2011 that didn’t have a ton of options on it i would have bought a new one. instead i had to buy a used 5.0 with no options 🙁
I bought a 2012 Mustang GT CS in March and got exactly what I wanted and only had to wait three weeks for my order to be completed. Great service, great car, and now I am ready to install the Procharger Supercharger and start running the bejesus out of it.
