Incentives are usually updated/adjusted on a monthly basis. Dealers do not get any advance notice from Ford regarding upcoming incentives or changes. -

I drove Mustangs as my company "Demo" for at least 20+ of the 38 years I've worked for a Ford dealership. I was the Advertising Manager for the in-house corporate advertising agency representing a number of dealerships, real estate properties in CT, Nantucket and New Orleans, corporate air charter, Arabian horses, etc. In addition, I managed the new vehicle inventory for 30+ years. As such, I was able to drive any vehicle of my choosing. Up until COVID-19, all dealership managers and sales representatives had Demo's but since then only managers still have Demo's. Demos were driven until sold but the dealership depreciated them on a monthly basis which made them attractive for customers to purchase because of the savings available. Most of the time I drove Mustang GT's (5 or 6-Speed Manual, Preferably Automatic) with the #301A equipped with the Enhanced Security Package, Ford Safe and Smart Package and Navigation. There were other times when I drove GT Premium's or California Special models. In addition, I had the opportunity to drive both coupes and convertibles depending on the available inventory at the time. There was a time when my GT Demo was sold and there were no GT's available in stock, so I ended up driving an EcoBoost Coupe. To my surprise, the Mustang EcoBoost was an absolute pleasure to drive with great performance at a price substantially below a comparable GT. While the media reports almost exclusively about the Premium Mustang GT's, Dark Horse and GTD models, they sell in limited volume and usually sit in dealership inventory for extended times. Part of this is due to what Ford will schedule and build at the time along with what dealerships are ordering. Dealerships tend to order mostly higher end Mustang models and add ADM's rather than ordering a mix of Mustang models that would sell better overall and actually increase sales. Don't sell the Mustang EcoBoost short as it's an absolute pleasure to drive!
