Comment
S650 is selling so bad that not only is the Mach-E out selling it but the Dark Horse is the first time I remember a Top Trim Mustang in its first year easily had for under MSRP by thousands. In my area since like 2000 Bullitt, Cobra, Mach1’s, Boss, Shelby, all commanded markups for at least it’s first 12-18 months. Yet for months now I’ve been seeing Dark Horses for thousands of already, and many already traded in.
Even with no new Camaro or Challenger no one seems to want the S650.
