Below the $25,000 mark for a loaded one.Did I miss anything?You fail economics.Wish list is a very good name for all that. Don't expect to get all that for any less than $32 US. What's the projected price for the new GT500, because what you just listed will be around that mark or higher. Quote Selected
Re: would look good with cougar logo Reply #17 – September 06, 2005, 01:24:26 PM The only reason it would not be under $30k is because of the markup from the plant, markup from the dealer.....Ya everyone needs there cut but a 200% markup is just stupid. Quote Selected

Consider advertising costs, engineering costs for not only initial design, but also development and refinement.Still, you won't see a Cougar cheaper than a Mustang. It just won't happen.

Re: would look good with cougar logo Reply #20 – September 06, 2005, 02:55:32 PM I under stand what you are saying but do you honestly think that a neon srt4 actually costs $28,000 to build and sell. Or an evo costs in the neighborhood of $35k.Hell when I was up in MI when the neons were the new thing they were selling base model all options for $7k straight from the assembly line. Now where is the mark up? Quote Selected
