Now why would a dealer want to sell a very high demand car for for an A-Plan price when they can get MUCH more otherwise? You will not find a dealer that will discount a 2005 Mustang GT... let alone a convertable. Dont waist your time expect to pay at least 3k over MSRP on a good day.

huck....just posting what Ford customer service told me. I have an I-Pod, too. They said that there is a connector on back of the Shaker system for this, but it's not activated, yet. They didn't give me a time frame. Some folks have been using an FM modulator to use their I-Pod in with the Mustang stereo, though. I believe only the shaker has the line-in, but I've not looked at the standard stereo to know for certain.

Hey....I live in OH....
 
Mustangs, especially GTs (both convertibles and coupes) are totally done for '05. Whatever units are coming out of the factory now, either have a buyer who special ordered, or they are spoken for by someone at the dealership's customer level.
 
So, while you may find a 'vert on a lot here or there, most dealerships won't touch "A" plan pricing. You might want to try to order an '06 'vert to see if they bite on A plan, though.

I am in Detroit and ordered April 21 with a 10 priority from my dealer. And it was ordered Z Plan. The dealer has a high allocation and didn't flinch when I said the Z word.

huck....you are very welcome.
 
I've seen a trickle of 'vert GTs every once in a while at SW OH dealers. They are usually gone the next day, however. Same with coupe GTs.
 
If you can find a 'vert GT on a dealer's lot, there's no harm in trying to see if you can buy on "Z" plan. Just be prepared for that not happening.
 
Personally, I'd try for an '06. Order one exactly the way you want it. You might have better luck with Z plan on an '06.
 
In my scenario, I ordered my coupe GT in Feb....in the middle of a snow storm. Dealer wasn't quite sure how sales were going to be so he didn't balk at X plan pricing. I wouldn't even attempt an X plan deal today given the Spring weather and the obvious wild popularity that has been the '05 Mustang.

Hey graphicguy...have a question for you....it's been a few weeks since I checked the boards here....are you affiliated with a dealer or work for Ford? Just curious...
I did specifically call my dealership regarding roll over from 2005 to 2006, asked if I'd have to re-order if my 2005 isn't made. I've been waiting since NOVEMBER 2004 and still have not got a build date for the car. They told me that mine would roll over into a 2006, no re-order necessary. Said it would just totally tick the customers off who have already ordered and have been waiting for months for their GT....and have to wait in line again. I have called Ford direct several times, have sent emails direct to Ford, I get everything from they are short on the V8 engines to short on the "my color" option, etc....the last phone call to ford I was told that the COMPUTER hadn't picked my car for production yet. Give me a break! Ford is hurting themselves by putting those of us who ordered in 2004 on the back burner, going through this hassle just once leaves a really bad taste in a persons mouth. I bought from a small dealership in Wisconsin, again, dealer allocation problem. I got a phone call today from my salesman, he's moved to a bigger dealership and offered me to order from them now as they have a bigger allocation. So what is the TRUE story here? I'm getting a total run around. I got what I thought was an excellent price on my GT...$26,040 with 500 shaker stereo, my color option, premium wheels and automatic transmission. MSRP is showing $28,500 on line for these options, so know if I go elsewhere now, I'm screwed price-wise. So if I want one, I continue to wait. But really would like the true story on having to re-order if I don't get my 2005......Thanks for listening.....

Here's my correspondence with a Ford Dealer in Metro Detroit. I'm going to try and find a higher volume dealer. thank you everyone for the response.
 
Thank you for your inquiry on the all new 2005 Ford Mustang. Due to an overwhelming response to the new Mustang, Ford is currently backed up on all GT Coupe and Convertible orders at this time. This means currently we are receiving approximately one Mustang per month of current orders that are in our bank at this time. Therefore, quoting a payment on a Mustang GT at this time is unrealistic since we may not have any GTs available for stock for approximately 6-9 months. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, however if you are interested in the general price of a Mustang, I will be happy to provide that for you. Also, if you are interested in ordering a new Mustang and are willing to wait several months for your order to be complete I will also be happy to sit down with you and work out the specific details for your new Mustang. Please note there is a $500 deposit on all Mustang orders, paid at the time the order is placed.
---------
Thank you, Christine for the prompt response. If I were to order a Mustang and place a $500 deposit, would I be paying MSRP, MSRP plus a premium, Invoice Price or A-Plan (I am A-Plan eligible)?
 
Thanks again-
Paul
-------------------------
 If you are A plan eligible, you will only pay A plan price, plus tax and plates. At this time anything ordered will be a 2006 model. However, you are welcome to come in and place and order with a deposit (which will go towards the selling price of your car) and if there are any changes for the 2006 model year we will notify you and give you the opportunity to make the changes accordingly. If y ou would like to schedule an appointment to order a Mustang GT please feel free to contact me by email or directly at XXX.
