#2729 of 2847 Mustang Bullitt 2008 by luna1017 Jan 20, 2008 (6:29 pm)
Finally got to see one of these today. Was really considering trading in my 2005 GT for it. However what stopped me in my tracks was the dealer's extra paper he had by posted by the window sticker...he was asking $20K......over MSRP.   The salesperson told me a few people had offered MSRP for the car and they refused to sell it. The additional $20K over invoice was explained as a "MARKET ADJUSTMENT"   After the initial shock and awe wore off.....I decided to wait until more of these get delivered....and hopefully not all dealers will be adjusting their prices in this manner.   Has anyone else seen one? Is the price marked up just as high? Hopefully as more come into the area.....the dealers will be more competitive.

Replying to: luna1017 (Jan 20, 2008 6:29 pm) I've heard of dealers selling them on X plan before they were deemed ineligible, which equates to about $500 over invoice for the dealer. I'm sure you can find one for MSRP or below.
#2731 of 2847 X-Plan on Fords IS NOT OVER INVOICE by mschmal Jan 22, 2008 (1:38 pm)
its .4% under invoice which is usually about $50 to $60 or so.   Lincoln X-plan is above invoice but Ford and Mercury X-plan is below.   Mark. Replies to this message: akirby (Jan 22, 2008 3:19 pm)

Replying to: mschmal (Jan 22, 2008 1:38 pm) Mark - I said it EQUATES to about $500 over invoice because Ford gives the dealer a spiff check around $500. I never said the actual X plan price was $500 over invoice.
#2733 of 2847 Yes, there is a commission by mschmal Jan 22, 2008 (4:04 pm)
However, you should not imply that the commission to the dealer possibly available as additional discount as the X-plan rules require the dealership charge no more or less than X-plan.   Mark. Replies to this message: akirby (Jan 22, 2008 5:20 pm)

Replying to: mschmal (Jan 22, 2008 4:04 pm) You've totally misunderstood the issue which was that the Bullitt mustang was no longer eligible for X plan. MY point was that if a dealer was willing to sell you a Bullitt on X plan before then they should be willing to sell it to you now for $500 over invoice. The profit for the dealer would be ROUGHLY the same. As opposed to going from X plan to MSRP. Get it?
#2735 of 2847 OK OK by mschmal Jan 25, 2008 (10:38 am)
I guess i missed the part about dealers selling Bullitts for X-plan as I never would imagine doing that myself.   Mark.
#2736 of 2847 Clogged water drain by pathrider Jan 25, 2008 (1:54 pm)
I am wondering if anyone else has this problem. Yesterday after starting my 2006 Ford Mustang convertible and turning on the heating system to defog the front windshield, I heard a swishing sound (like sand getting blasted at plastic). It seemed to happen as I turned my steering wheel in either direction or the car bumped around. I soon discovered water on the floorboard of the front passenger side of the car and could feel water dripping from underneath the far right side of the instrument panel. After my Ford dealer looked at it, they told me that the water drain for the windshield cavity was full of pine needles and it would cost $450.00 to clean it out. I said what? I have never heard of such a thing. I have had a few cars where I live in the mountains of California but never encountered this problem. Ford told me this was not a warranty repair and I would have to pay. The actual bill came to $345.29 - $29.04 for a filter and $316.25 for labor. Man, this sure seems like a design flaw because it seems to me cars should be able to handle any type of tree leaves and neadles without cloggin up. Has this happened to anyone else on a Mustang. My dealer tells me that this has happened to one other 2006 or newer Mustang that they have worked on.

Replying to: luna1017 (Jan 20, 2008 6:29 pm) Agree with akirby - DON'T pay that "market adjustment". Shop around - there will be dealers all over the country ready to sell one at MSRP. Sometimes dealers in the small towns live from internet sales.....start shopping online.
#2738 of 2847 Re: Clogged water drain [pathrider] by nvbanker Jan 27, 2008 (5:50 am)
Replying to: pathrider (Jan 25, 2008 1:54 pm) Well....yes and no. I agree with you, that Ford should have paid. Design flaw though - probably not. An exceptional load for a drain to handle probably. As they said, only one other case. If 50% of them did this, then yes, design flaw. Like weep holes in doors and mufflers, they normally drain. Keeping leaves clear of windshield grates is usually a user maintenance item, like washing. But once anyway, I think Ford should have stepped up.   See, this is where most Manufacturers blow it. The car is still under warranty - and by not paying for this repair - they have pissed you off, probably irreparably. $400 to you now, with a disclaimer that they won't clean it free again, and you should keep the pine needles out of it, to some degree, or you pay next time, would have gone a long way toward keeping your satisfaction attitude on the positive side, and may have sold you another Ford, and kept you from badmouthing Ford to 1200 of your closest friends......
