Have you smoked the tires off a Ford Lately?

Post by BigGunna »

This was an interesting article I read about the 40th anniversary of the Mustang, just in case you or someone else was comptemplating getting a new car :D

The tradition of affordability and customer enthusiasm continues today with the Ford Centennial lease program. On April 1, Ford announced the return of the $5 day – not as a wage but as car payment for a well-equipped 2003 Mustang V-6 Deluxe Coupe* in recognition of the company’s 100th anniversary.
*The Mustang Centennial Lease is a 48-month lease that requires a 10 percent down payment. Other fees may apply. Mileage is limited to 12,000 miles annually or an excess mileage charge may apply. Payments may vary depending on equipment levels. Certain other Mustang models are available for slightly higher amounts.
Ford sold a total of 93 Mustangs in the U.S. the day before the announcement. During the first full weekend of the Centennial Lease, Ford sold a total of 850 Mustangs, and has sold more than 400 units every day since (through April 11).
“Henry Ford helped create the American middle class when he introduced the $5 day wage, and our effort to share this heritage with consumers has been a huge success,� Lyons said. “We’ve tapped an incredible reserve of goodwill for Ford and a deep well of Mustang excitement.�
Special Editions to Keep Mustang Excitement High
Ford is calling 2004 its “Year of the Car� because it will introduce an incredible amount of all-new cars, including the Ford Five Hundred sedan, the Freestyle crossover vehicle and the Ford GT super car. The capstone will be an all-new Mustang.
“The ‘Year of the Car’ will transform our showrooms so dramatically – it will be the modern-day equivalent of the Model A launch,� Lyons said. “But we’re not going to be quiet in the car business until we get to 2004 – particularly with Mustang.�


Granted the base model is a v-6, but a Mustang lease for 155$ per month? To the Batmobile Robin! This might be a bargaining chip for some of you to stop driving that piece of crap you call a car. :wink: 8)
