I joined the Mustang club yesterday. $35 seemed worth it on the chance it might save $ and hassles.A lot of this comes down to one's personal threshold for haggling and headaches. For me, I preferred this approach:
1. Pay $35 to the Mustang Club of America for a membership, so I can get X Plan pricing PIN.
2. Email local dealers with your wants and let them respond. For me, I required them to accept X plan, not require any dealer adds (like undercoating) and have at least a refundable deposit.
I immediately found a place that fit all my criteria and did not require a deposit of any kind. Sure, I paid a bit more than a lot of the folks hitting up the "under invoice" dealerships but that was more than worth it to know that, for the most part? All of the headaches I usually associate with a new car purchase were avoided except the trade in that I still have to deal with, assuming I even trade anything in.Gaing my time back is well worth the extra price I'm paying.
