Replying to: vnovabri (Aug 19, 2005 5:10 am) The dealer knows this when they order it. Ask to get the VOC, first. You also want the DORA (off the top of my head, I can't remember what the letters mean, but your dealer knows). The DORA tells you the terms of the x-plan deal, the exact car you ordered and the price the dealer agreed to sell it for. They can also add dealer installed options to it. Personally, I worked only from the VOC for my x-plan deal, but I made sure the dealer's GM and I both signed it with the terms of the deal spelled out. The DORA is a more formal agreement, though. Without either the VOC (and ther terms spelled out on it with signatures) and/or the DORA, you really have nothing binding with the dealer that will hold them to the deal you cut with them on the order. Not saying your dealer will back out of the deal, but I've heard horror stories about dealers promising one thing when you order and conveniently forgetting about the terms when the car comes in. I've even heard of dealers taking an ordered car and selling it to someone else because they were able to sell it for more money. The Mustang GT is a "hot" car. It's been "hot" for the last 10 months and doesn't look like the sales pace is slowing one bit for the '06 models. MSRP and above has generally been the going rate for the car. Make sure you've got your ducks in a row to get what you want at the price agreed on so neither you, nor the dealer misinterpret anything when it's time to take delivery. Hope this helps. |

Replying to: cgalen (Aug 19, 2005 5:29 am) Graphicsguy, Thanks for advice. I realize now I only have the VOC, so I'm gonna go ahead and get the DORA as soon as possible. I dont anticipate any problems, but why take the chance. Vnova,My X-plan price for the gt coupe was 25,058 including dest. and del., and msrp was 26980, so you should see somewhere around that same discount. you definitely should already know what price you will pay since you already ordered. Good luck, hope your car comes soon too! |

This option is NOT listed under "build your own" on the Ford web site. Is however, listed in Edmunds. Anyone know if it is available now and is it true that ALL of the fall/spring production Mustangs are already SOLD? THANKS.

It wasnt easy.I argued a bit for it, using some logic that I was only gonna order it using xplan, and he'd still make SOME money off me. That wasnt flying too well so I finally just broke down and cried. Then he gave it to me. J/K lol I'm really not sure to the WHY he decided to do it (I think the final thing I said before he gave it to me was "Well I dont even know WHY they even HAVE and X-plan if I cant use it!). I know it helps dealer allocation the more they order and sell right away, but other than that I'm real thankful for the deal. It will take some convincing but I hope he does the same for you. Dont think I can post the name here, but I'll message it to ya.

Replying to: jerrymcshane1 (Aug 19, 2005 8:13 am) Can't answer your question about the allocations for Fall and Spring being sold out, but it wouldn't surprise me. The last time I checked with my dealer about a month ago, he had already sold out of his '06 Mustang GT allotment through January. By now, it might even be February. He's telling people who order now that the very earliest they can expect the car is in late April on into May. |

Replying to: liangyyq (Aug 16, 2005 8:18 pm) i just sent out e mails to about 6 dealers in SoCal on the V6 manual, like you. first to respond via e mail offered below MSRP, and said that was a "conservative" discount." that indicates I could get to invoice or close to it, I assume. But that was just my first dip in the water. is invoice becoming a norm on the V6s? or is that just wishful thinking? |
