Author: Car Dealers – Buying Your Next Car
I’ve always been brought up to appreciate the value of things and to make sure you can afford to buy something before you part with the cash. Apparently this means that firstly you won’t end up with loads of junk you bought on a whim and secondly, by waiting and going without for months, when you do finally get your dream item, it’s even better than you’d ever imagine. It’s for this reason I highly recommend giving your local Ford car dealer a miss and buying yourself a new Ford Mustang from America.
Yes importing a car is going to be a headache. It’s going to cost a scary amount of money in import tax and fees, but in the case of a new Ford Mustang, it’ll still be incredibly cheap compared to the opposition and more than worth the hassle. I’d liken the process to my most prized possession – my Fender Jaguar guitar.
After a few years of playing I figured I was of a decent enough standard to qualify for owning a better quality guitar without feeling guilty. Following months of searching guitar shops, internet offers and studying what guitars my idols played, it was settled beyond doubt in my head that the Jaguar was for me. Despite saving and missing vital socialising nights at university, I still didn’t have enough money to buy a new one from the high street, but did for over the internet. “It won’t matter” I thought, “It’ll be the same guitar at the end of the day”. I placed my order for a white version and excitedly checked my email every day for a dispatch notice. Nothing.
Two weeks passed with no word and more importantly no money left in my bank account. Smelling fraud I was pleasantly surprised when someone answered the company’s telephone number. Very apologetically I was told that the guitar wasn’t available for another three weeks due to its rarity. Wanting it more than a fat person wants cake, I held out another agonising month whereupon I was met with the news they couldn’t get one and I’d be refunded the money. Two months older and a broken dream was all I had to show for my efforts.
In a final throw of the dice I went to a back street shop that probably sold one guitar a year and given that rationale would be desperate for my business. Amazingly they agreed to match the internet price and would have a white Fender Jaguar in the next week. The big day arrived (again) and I went to the shop to be greeted with a large box with ‘Fender’ emblazoned across the front. Shaking with excitement I rushed home and much like Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark, ever-so-carefully eased the lid of the box to be met with a brand new Fender Jaguar – in red.
Having waited so long and experienced so much disappointment, I was unmoved by this latest setback. There and then I decided to keep it and I grew to love it, despite its eccentric foibles like strings popping out of place when playing certain chords. If I could save one item from destruction it would be the guitar, not because it’s the greatest guitar in the world, but because of its beauty and that it has a story that makes it worth so much more than money to me. Going through the rigmarole of importing a Ford Mustang will give you the same feeling I’m positive.
Importantly, rather than getting misty-eyed over an inanimate object, the Mustang (not to be confused with the Fender Mustang which is also a guitar) is a brilliant car. Yes it has problems such as engineering that was outdated in the days of Napoleon and although it develops 300bhp, it’s from a massive, petrol slurping 4.6 litre engine that will get you from standing to 60mph in 5 seconds. BMW would produce 600bhp and 2.5 seconds if you let them loose with 4.6 litres.
But none of this is the point. It’s precisely because the Mustang doesn’t do things in a hi-tech or economic way that it feels so honest and demands input from the driver, so when you take a corner particularly nicely, it’s because you did it and not some NASA designed computer in the dashboard. The styling harks back to the classic 1960s Mustangs too with flared wheel arches and more bulges than a mountain range (they’re bigger too).
With current exchange rates a new Ford Mustang costs £13,800 which with importing fees and right-hand drive conversion is more accurately £22,000 – more than a Golf GTi which in the real world would be faster too. Yet get behind the wheel, cruise along with that V8 lump on a sunny day and it doesn’t matter that the dashboard is made from the cheapest materials, the suspension is non-existent and the engine is thousands of years out of date. The fact you spent the time to save up for the car, wait for it to arrive and have exclusivity means that you’ll love it forever – even if it’s coloured pink.
