| Even here in New England where we have relatively few 05 Mustangs compared to the south where more of the inventory has been shipped, we have dealers discounting their new Stangs to reasonable prices. I am paying $500 over invoice for my V6 Premium. Others in the northeast are getting decent deals too. Any dealer marking up from MSRP doesn't deserve consideration from a serious buyer. | |

Replying to: 1panky (Feb 28, 2005 8:01 am) If you haven't already tried, cross over to Northern VA. I bought my V6 at World of Ford on Route 1 (Richmond Highway) in Alexandria. They discount without a problem. I was able to buy on the Ford X plan when other dealers would not sell at that price. I think the car is priced right at list, but less money is always better. I agree that at 2K over on a V6 the Maryland dealer will have lots of inventory. Good luck.

I really appreciate this board so I'll share my experience too.. I just pulled my black on black GT Convertible into the garage (30 miles on it now, 4 when I picked it up this afternoon). I live in Sacramento, and the biggest dealer in town called me triumphantly on Sunday to tell me that they just got a few GT Convertibles.. they are marking them up $10K (but it's "negotiable"). So I decided to get some other car... While researching the "other car" yesterday a salesperson at another local dealer told me "I have a GT Convertible on the way right now, should be here by the weekend". I winced and said "how much"? She said MSRP. I put the deposit down yesterday, and took delivery today. I don't care what happens with this model in the future price-wise, I gotta say that this car at full MSRP is the best value I have ever seen in my life. It would be easy to spend $80K and not turn as many heads! Anyway - just thought I'd share my .02. By the way, the person who sold me the car said her dealership isn't doing "plan A" on GT Mustangs... Enjoy your cars!!! Even if you paid a markup ... "so what". I'm happy you have an '05 Mustang and you should be too!! |

| I picked up my car on Monday - after waiting since Oct for the order to be pulled and built. I had been told by other dealers that MSRP was the price - no discounts - but a friend of mine who is the internet sales rep at my dealer quickly agreed to $500 over invoice - and I get the $500 rebate from AQHA to bring the net price back down to invoice (including holdback) so it's a $22.9K car for $20.3K net. The dealer did screw up the paperwork pretty badly at the point of sale and it took a while to get the price correct but otherwise the experience was fine. Can't wait now to start using the car regularly once our winter weather here in northern New England lets up! | |

Ordered a redfire GT Premium 5-speed with the Shaker 500 stereo, interior upgrade package, interior appearance package (red interior), side airbags, active alarm system, bullitt wheels and wheel locks. MSRP=$27,705 my X plan price=$25,485 I ordered it from Farifield Ford (OH) on 2/4. Order was pulled for production on 2/24. Production date either this week or next. Hopefully, delivery will be the 1st of April. The GT's and Convertibles are way over sold. Ford planned on building 150,000 of them. Many dealers are saying their allotment of '05s is totally used up and are now taking orders for '06s. I would imagine by April, these cars (at least the GTs) will be scarcer than they are now. That said, my dealer has two GT coupes sitting on the lot (one silver and one yellow). I would imagine they'll be gone by this weekend. Deals can be made under MSRP, but it's not an easy task. You have to shop several dealers and pit them against each other. But first, you have to find a dealer that has allotment left for the '05 models. The allure is easy to see. The Mustang GT offers performance very nearly the same as the '05 GTO (with 100 more HP), it looks great, has a great interior and is built very well. Plus, it's at least $5,000 less than its competition. That sounds like a recipe for success if I've ever heard one. Ford did good!

After being c&u for 3 months my wife finally had all she could stand and hit the breaking point. She said forget the Mustang she was going to buy a Nissan 350Z. She had her heart set on the GT so I got very aggressive in my search. I contacted every dealer within 300 miles. Finally found one exactly like we ordered minus the upgraded wheels.(she actually liked the standard GT wheels better after seeing them on the car) This car had been ordered for someone, but they backed out when the car arrived earlier in the day. I explained my predicament (distance from the dealer) and he told me he would stay open till I got there. At 5 minutes after midnight my wife drove her new GT off the showroom floor. I paid MSRP, but my wife has the car she really wanted so it was worth the extra bucks to me. I ask the dealer how quick the GTs were being sold. He said that most of them are sold before they get out of prep. This is the biggest Ford dealer in Memphis TN and he only had 1 GT besides the one I bought. It was Mineral Grey with Crimson interior. Not a very appealling combo, but never the less he didnt expect much trouble in selling it.
