Picked up the GT last night by jagzbimmer

Picked up the Mustang last night...8 weeks to the day from when the order was entered into Ford's
computer.
 
This car is beautiful. It is pretty much the nicest, most powerful car I've ever had. I got compliments on it before I even drove off the lot. The dealer I went to is in a small town and most of the passers-by just stood there and looked at it while I was taking delivery. Never had that kind of experience with any other car. Wife and kids LOVE the car, too (my wife jumped in the car as soon as she saw it).
 
Here is what I got:
 
GT Premium
Silver w/ Red Leather (this combo is NICE)
AUTO
Side Air Bags
IUP
TOTAL PRICE (incl tax, tags, title) = $28,259 (used X-plan)
 
Plates were on the car when I got there...looked as if the dealership's whole day revolved around my delivery. The whole experience was very positive (I also got my own financing which made the delivery go a lot quicker).
 
I look forward to many thrilling miles in this ultimate machine.
 
I guess I'll have to change my Edmunds ID to jagzGT!!

black with black top
18" 64Es
manual
premium package
 
Got it for $1200 under MSRP. Used Ford.com's "Let us find your car", and did it all via email until the hour I picked it up. Since it had to be driven from another state, dealer took another $200 off for mileage (300 miles on the odometer) without me asking. Heard that dealer had a terrible month last month, so not sure if that had anything to do with it, but it was the easiest car experience I've ever had.

Graphicguy, thank you for your very helpful post. Although winter is perfect convertible weather here in So. Florida, I am planning to hit the local dealerships right around the holidays when business will probably be slow. Maybe I can walk away with a Priority 10 for a bit under MSRP on my DORA......

I read a post of yours awhile back where you mentioned possbly being able to "hook up" someone with an X-Plan Pin #. Are you still able and willing to do that? I'd be most grateful.

I say rent a garage for a month if you can't find a family member or friend to help you out.
 
I found a self-storage place that has inside garages available (vs. on the grounds spots). The franchise closest to my office runs around $325 for a month; going to the one about 5 miles away is $170 ... which do you think I'm going with? LOL! Not like I'm going back and forth much. The car is having one bit of warranty work done on a leaking seal, and I pick it up today, then over to the body shop, then off to storage until Christmas eve.
 
Although a friend did say I could put it in her garage and I may take her up on that. I just have this horrible vision of it getting accidentally scratched or something dropped on it if it's staying where there are people out and about. Which yes, will happen after it comes to our house, but it would be nice to have it show up Christmas day still looking great.

Could you tell me what XPLAN and Priority 10 are? I hate to approach a dealer wihtout knowing the various pricing options.. I had a local dealer (So. Cal.) fax me a copy of a window sticker and their price was $1,000 over MSRP !

What do you think I recently got a priority number of 45? On a 2006 Mustang GT convertable. After reading your post I hope I have nothing to be worried about. Thanks

What do you think I recently got a priority number of 45? On a 2006 Mustang GT convertable. After reading your post I hope I have nothing to be worried about. I just got my dora today and will confirm with the dealer tomarrow. They are telling me 90 days it what it should take to get me the car. According to the dealership they sold plenty of Mustangs and Mustang GT's to have a larger amount or allocation for this year. I have agreed to pay $34,000 which is $15 under MSRP. But my big question is if a Priority number of 45 is a good number with a high percentage that the car will be built in 90 days or close to that and is it possible for that priority number to change either way. Thanks for the info.

krauger....ask your dealer how many orders are in front of yours. 90-days isn't out of the realm of possibility given it's within the 8-12 week window you should be looking for.
 
If there are no orders in front of yours, then insist on a priority 10. IF there are orders in front of you, then the dealership would probably list them as (first to last) 10-20-30-40.....etc. It will depend on their allotment, also. Ask them if they can accomodate your order with their allotment in the next 30-days.
