Anyone here driving their Mustangs in winter? I'll be putting four winter tires on it for sure.

On other note, I want to get a 2012 or 2011 V6 premium with club of America pkg. and interior upgrade pkg. The dealer here in Richmond Hill ON. was very inflexible on the price and told me ``mustangs are in short supply`` He also pretty much lowballed my trade-in So what do you guys think a fair price should be? The price I was quoted is $ 27889 + 13% HST =$ 31514

I appreciate your feedbacks.
I drove my 2005 during the 05-06 winter. It handled really well in the snow with a set of Nokian Winter tires.

OP, welcome to the board!

I'm in the exact same situation as you are. I've talked to the dealership in Richmond Hill and Markham but both are quite inflexible with their pricing.

I'm just keeping an eye out until there is favorable pricing. Their finance rates are also ridiculously high (5.79% last I checked).

I've driven my Mustangs year round for about five years in Northern BC, I live about 20Km's down a secondary hwy. Studded winter tires all around and I had sandbags in the '92, but I haven't put any in the 2012 yet. I haven't really had any problems, even with big dumps of snow, because the guys in the 4x4's pretty much clear the way for me. Don't be backing over birms from the snowplow though.

You're not alone Bro, one winter all I had to drive to school was my 55 Panhead (Harley), with bald tires

Now that would be entertaining (in a scary, very cold way), beats walking though.

I witnessed a chap driving a Japanese bike in a snowstorm in Windsor years ago and was shocked
